pouters gonna pout.

Dame Maggie is my role model in basically all areas of life. true fact: she is also my boyfriend's ultimate role model. so if we end up getting old together, we are going to be a FIERCE tag team, Dowager-Countess-ing and McGonagall-ing and Nora-ing it up at family gatherings.

recast Tom Hiddleston in ALL the roles. I would watch that movie.

I'm right there with you. my hair is light brown with a lot of dishwater/ash/whatever highlights, and if I were ever not too chicken to dye it, I would totally go darker. I said that once to a friend of mine who has been dyeing her dark chestnut hair blonde for a decade, and she almost had an aneurysm.

I guess Green Lantern isn't technically being ret-conned, since apparently it's an alternate-universe version of Alan Scott who is gay ("Earth 2"). although you could argue (and I would probably end up agreeing with you) that alt-universe storylines in comics are pretty similar to ret-conning, since they let the…

In brightest day, in blackest night,

and Jealoucé seems to be especially powerful.

aren't there lots of rumors that he used to urinate on his canvases (either for artistic expression, or to revenge himself against clients he didn't like)? I haven't heard anything about him also ejaculating on his paintings, but I wouldn't be immensely surprised if he had.

my sister and I used to try that for bleaching streaks in our hair. it never worked, but once when we squeezed a huge crop of lemons by hand for lemonade, and then played in the sun all day, we ended up with second-degree burns all over the backs of our hands, where the juice had soaked in.

BARRRRRF. is that seriously a thing? the name, I mean; having a smaller shower for the 1+nth baby totally makes sense, but calling it a "sprinkle" makes me unable to not think about pee.

this is just to say: great title, Doug Barry!

in response to everyone who's said that people with lots of money have the prerogative to waste/spend it on whatever they want to: you're right, they totally do.

but at the end of the day we're another day older!

for me it's his intensity and obvious intelligence. but if I saw pictures of him without having seen him act, I would be right there with you on the Sup With Benedict Cumberbatch? bus.

your husband's friend sounds pretty cool—his type of response is what I would LIKE to achieve whenever I've inevitably put my foot in it (in the right context, of course; i.e., in a case where humor is a welcome change).

it's not paranoia if you're right! that's an amazing story. especially because I've never heard the "people are giving me extra stuff" complaint before, only the other way around. my friends moved out of this amaaaazing apartment a while back because their landlady (who lived on the first 2 floors of the house)…

he definitely saw that model, but the fact that he's leery about it (i.e., thinks it's not a great model and would like to avoid that) is what gives me hope for him and Kate. good luck to them!

I totally understand being worried that you will make the same mistakes as your parents. I actually think, though, that William's perspective on their marriage, and especially his attitude of "I don't want to end up like this," is a huge protective factor.

I agree—you can not set out to cheat, and even set out not to cheat (or join a sect), and sometimes it still ends up happening. though it's MUCH more likely to happen if you give yourself some leeway or put yourself in situations conducive to cheating (e.g., "well, I'll just have one drink with this person I'm…

good for her, I guess, for knowing what she wants and being direct about it?
