Jockey cotton string bikinis! I’ve been wearing these things since at least 1986, and thank goodness they haven’t been discontinued or changed... They’re so comfy you forget they’re on, they’re perfect if you have big thighs that don’t get along with regular panty legholes, and they sell all-black 3-packs.

My old (tiny) high school had three students attempt in two weeks. Other students are directly connecting the attempts to this show and even more were sent into tailspins as a result of watching it. Fuck this shit.

“Hannah’s story is still very much not finished”
Also not finished: the stories of the adolescents in emergency departments since this show coming out who have attempted or have planned out their suicide. Their stories aren’t finished, and then they watched this show, and they spiraled. Did they have other stuff going…

I read an article a while ago, the title was something like “What if all I want is a mediocre life?” The woman who wrote it talked about how she is content, but seems to be surrounded by people who are always striving for something more.

What a precious picture! All the best to you. I’m visiting the Vatican next week and will say a prayer for you both. (Only if that’s something you would like)

Hello all. I wanted to thank everybody again for being so nice to my daughter Catalina and I - she’s three weeks old today and still fighting the good fight.

Every year on account of a conference I spend a week in NYC by myself. I always get there a few days prior to the start of the conference and explore the city. DO IT. You won’t regret it. Plus London is a common tourist destination and you certainly won’t be the only solo tourist there. And even if you are, who cares?…

Any solo travelers here? I’m contemplating going to London by myself early next year but am nervous about pulling the trigger on the trip. As a single adult, traveling by myself is something I’ve always wanted to try, but I’ve never done it (apart from a few weekend trips to places not so far from home) because the…

If you like Viggo please see A History of Violence by Cronenberg. You won’t be sorry.

Pump up the Volume was far superior to Gleaming the Cube. But atleast I never saw Cuffs or Kuffs or whatever that was. Although I did own Untamed Heart on VHS.

Adding the film gem Untamed Heart to this list of Slater motivated viewings.

Pompeii with Kit Harington. I’d just come off of maternity leave with my first son and wanted two hours in the dark by myself - and looking at a pretty man. God, that movie’s awful.

Christian Slater served his mid-90s jail time at the jail that was basically on my college campus. There was a little half wall that separated the police car parking lot and the girls dorm parking. We’d see him out there washing cars all the time. And because I went to college the year after True Romance (an amazingly…

In 1990, young Zabella had to see everything Christian Slater was in. The spark that was started by the bashful brother in The Legend of Billie Jean turned into a huge crush after watching Heathers. I sat through Gleaming the Cube (someone in Hollywood was like “let’s make a movie with skateboards!”) and The Name of…

On paper, Overboard should not be as funny as it is. But God I love that movie. I’ll watch it every time it shows on cable.

I am dying at the alarmist Food-Babe-caliber responses your post is getting. Don’t you know how many paleo nutjobs read this blog? Here come the crazies... oh wait... they’re already here.

I love anything by Mariane Keyes, particularly The Other Side of the Story and This Charming Man. She is fantastic because she writes about real issues but in a way that is extraordinarily easy to read, and her characters are funny and warm and lovely.

Yup. My productivity and sunlight are directly tied. I always used to say “I love gloomy weather” but recently I’ve realized I actually... don’t. I think I just romanticize it.

Dude. I love her. I’m so bummed you didn’t crowd source questions prior to the interview. My brilliant question would be, “Where did you get that awesome yellow bra you wore in S1?”

Catastrophe is worth the price of Amazon Prime, in fact it’s the reason I signed up in the first place.
