I’m visiting New York this week!! I want to go!

Oh. I always wondered what ‘rich’ really meant, and I think this is just totally it. Private jet? Whatevs. Houses all over the world? Who cares. Mall in the basement kept immaculately? Now that’s $$.

It’s a good movie in the same way that I saw The Scorpion King is the greatest movie ever, of all time. Clearly it’s not, but the joy I get out of watching these movies and the vast galaxy of fucks I do not give when people try to judge me for loving them just makes my week. Totally seeing this one ASAP.

I bought this about a year ago, too, after it was mentioned in another Jezebel article. I like it a lot except that sometimes I have to whack it really hard on the the the top to get it to snooze and it kind of defeats the peaceful wake up.

Thaaat’s right. I read it a couple of years ago so the details are foggy.

I’m in Kansas, too. To me, “dip” implies something sour-cream based that you could eat with potato chips, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it at a restaurant. Cream cheese and artichoke dip/spread, maybe. Chips and salsa is chips and salsa.

Oops! I hadn’t watched this trailer. Totally a tub scene :)

I think this was an all-nighter for me. Couldn’t put it down until it was done! (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close was like that, too.) Sometimes I’ll just think “what if I were walking up these stairs for the first time?” It’s all so sad and fascinating.

I was really happy with I read about this study on the NPR website because for as long as I’ve been having sex, I’ve been experiencing this. Just a wave of sad emotions and a feeling like I wanted to be left alone. It’s a totally shocking, unexpected feeling, and it goes away pretty quickly, but it’s definitely a real…

Did you read about how he shot the film? I think it was 100% natural light, which meant there were days they could only shoot for like 2 hours in the freezing cold. It sounded like a suuuuper intense shoot, and was not without its controversy, it sounds like. But yeah, the film looks absurdly amazing.

Will you just tell me if the dog dies? I don’t want it to but if I know it’s going to happen I can brace myself. That’s all I need to know.

Right! Like, I wish it were a book I could read because I think it’d be scary and sexy as hell. I can handle scary books. Ghosts are okay, but masks are not.

Same! But I really really really want to see this one. I love Pan’s Labyrinth and that freaked the hell out of me, but not in the same way the Grudge or (I admit) Scream did. (Seriously, I can’t even handle Scream.)

Yes! Winter in the Midwest is bangs season for me because it is dry dry dry. Once a year or so I get so tired of my forehead and get bangs, and they’re adorable if I do say so myself.

Moats! Motes! Everyone needs to go start at the beginning of reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com now. I bet Stephenie Meyer just took every note from that tumblr for her corrections. Ugh.

Seriously! I’m not yet 34, but if at 39 I look back at 34 with the same disbelief my 29 year old self looks back at my 24 year old self...I hope she realizes quickly what a horrible, horrible idea this thing is.

I yelled at a professor (a college professor at a large state university) for using the phrase “pro-abortion” as the opposite to “pro-life”. I was livid.

Yes, I really want to know what these mysteries with 13th century monks are! Frankly, there aren’t enough. I’ll look into Brother Cadfael!

My favorite HS FB moment was a girl I had a class with in college who was constantly posting about her boyfriend and was all kissy face, and then suddenly she found out he had another girlfriend and the two of them got together and hated on the guy and were all “we’re so strong! you’re so amazing and I love you so…

It’s tough, but as the girlfriend for years (now I’m a full-fledged daughter in law) I kind of knew enough to take myself out of the family photos, just for that reason. Better yet, I always offered to take photos of my boyfriend’s family when they were all together! Of course, casual photos were a totally different…
