He is pretty hard up; I heard he already lost his favorite fiddle and he's got a quota to fill.

Blerg, sensitivity has no place in a marriage, haha.

Right? For that matter, I'd be interested in separate rooms.

I sort of agree with you about uptalking; my theory is that the habit attempts to sort of cushion every thing the speaker says from offense or bad reaction by speaking in question form rather than statement form. The lack of conviction and readiness to apologize for or pivot away from the statement is, I agree,…

I had the option to be veggie and I deliberately chose not too because I firmly believe that as meat eater I can do more for animal welfare by only purchasing ethically produced meat and animal products and using my voice as a source of their income to demand better standards from producers. By becoming vegetarian you…

If you've ever seen the TV series M*A*S*H, one of the later episodes had two of the characters secretly ordering a collapsible bathtub thing from (I think) A&F. They were kind of a mail-order/catalog type store, I think.

I have some clothes from the old Abercrombie and Fitch. It used to be an outdoors store for rich guys. People like Teddy Roosevelt went there to gear up for safari. Tweed sport coats and rifles.

My godmother, a kick-ass, no-bullshit, straight-talkin' dame who works for the UNHCR, has precisely zero tolerance for celebrity dilettantes and tragedy-fuckers. Over the years, she's bluntly told any number of high-profile self-aggrandizers to jog on. So when she mentioned, after she first worked with Jolie in…

It should be noted that he started the book before meeting Esther... John worked in a children's cancer ward while he was studying to be a priest (he never finished). Meeting Esther was the catalyst for finishing it.

Thanks for linking to this, and also to rainbowdashcrash for bringing it up - I'm not a YouTube-r for Green, and I only read the book and saw the movie, so I had no idea the extent to which the book was based on a real person!

You can watch his youtube videos where he talks about her as well. Esther was one of the first nerdfighters, and she died before the book was published.

Same here. I've cried so much reading reviews of the film and book that there's no way I'm actually going to consume either.

I used square ready. I know they're never going to get rid of the square format but I wish they'd incorporate something like square ready or InstaSize. And also something like Picframe so you can make collage pics. I use instgram constantly but it would be nice to have one app instead of 3.

This is why I'm glad I have people like you. I just downloaded VSCO Cam. What should I know about it?

Keep on keeping on, but sexism is exactly what this is about. No matter how many times you throw out the phrase "professional" everyone is just going to keep pointing out that word doesn't even appear in this poster. Because these excuses you're dragging out have jack shit to do with a school telling women their…

Aye, I was a bit apathetic to the Martells in the books, but I'd grown rather attached to TV-Oberyn. I hate to sit there, grimacing, whilst my non-book reading husband cheered him on saying, "HE'S SO ACE!". Bless that man of mine, four seasons in and he still hasn't learned that no-one is safe. :(

Yep, his squire was shown wiping the blades before the fight.

Maybe she just doesn't trust you ;)

No, that's the third book. There's an accident where Cathy can't dance again. And there's a fire that Cathy is saved from by her mother who dies in the fire, in a final very belated act of redemption for being the worst mother in the world. And there's an accident during a ballet scene.

The replacement Kathy looks a lot like Heather Graham! I couldn't see Kiernan Shipka as this Kathy, so I'm glad they recast with older actors.
