Trying to play Rachmaninoff or Chopin was torture when I was playing because of those damn stretches. (I also have tiny hands.) Bach and Mendelsohn were my favorites -- mostly because I like moody music and the fugues were fantastic to play.

Yes. Although my bootlust is for La Canadienne waterproof boots, since I suffered through four days of wet feet in Belgium in January. NEVER AGAIN.

The Viking Cats have to be one of the oldest memes around (I remember it from college ca. 2002), but damn if it’s not one of the greatest things the internet has ever created.

And if it’s a pretty, middle-class white girl or woman? 24/7 coverage. It’s sick.

Amal won’t put up with that shit.

That’s the name I thought of as well. Dear Lord, please no.

Everyone thought I was crazy for being a 20-something and commuting and hour by train each way from the boring Hudson Valley. But if I had moved to a borough I could afford, I would still have had an hour commute each way.

Did you see the fan supercut that put all three movies into one, 4.5-hour film that actually follows the book? It’s actually pretty good. If they had just done that, it would have been fabulous.

Why is it at all?! I hate neckbeards. Beards are fine. Handsome, even. But neckbeards just tell me that you’re too damn lazy to bother. I also find that neckbeards coincide with guys who would 100 percent complain if a lady had leg stubble at any point.

I know, I know. But as a writer I hate it when people expect me to work for free, and so I want other creatives to get paid (however little) when I enjoy their work.

I knew I shouldn’t read this. I really like “Roses” and their collaboration with Daya and now I hate myself for downloading it and giving them any money.

I’ve never seen an animal that can generate more feces for each peck of food it takes.

I’m picturing the koalas from that old Nick Jr. show doing this (Pinky and Blinky? Blinky and Stinky? I can’t remember) and it’s a great visual for a Wednesday.

Agreed. Also, with our new Univision overlords, have the greys been eliminated? I’m showing up as a normal person and I don’t quite know what to do about it.

Hell yes to your deadlift! (I’m at 105 pounds). Lifting heavy weight is awesome and empowering (for me).

THAT Chrissy. Sorry. I thought you were referring to a rando.

Is this show really about cooking with weed? I don't partake but I'd watch the hell out of that.

Who is Chrissy?

That’s disgusting. What a creep.

I was confused by the same thing, but lunchcoma seems to have the fuller story. There needed to be an attribution to that part of the story apparently.
