I say she has as much of a right to be Miss Japan as any other Japanese citizen. It's not as if she stormed into the auditorium and stole the crown off some full-blooded girl's head. She won it, fair and square.

I'm a teacher and a tutor. If I were you, I'd sit down with her and watch her do her homework. Don't help her with it (she doesn't need it) but make sure she does it. If she doesn't do it, she'll probably hate school even more, because she'll always be in trouble there. If she sees that she can get praise for doing…

I picked kids up from summer camp for five years on the UWS. For four years in a row, the 2/3 was a dream. Then last year, out of nowhere... the fucking thing just started having these stupid signal problems. They weren't announced on the website and nobody mentioned them until you'd been waiting in the train station…

I'd heard a lot about Japan's trains before I went there. They didn't look like much, but they were perfect.

Me too, but my favorite part is Niles.

I loved Mindy Kaling's book!

Her relationship with Annalise makes no sense if she didn't kill Lila. All the weird guilt and groveling and secret-keeping... I hope they don't make her into just another boring affair with Sam.

But she tried to have sex with him!

A friend of mine does digital editing for TV and movies. She says for basically every actor over 25, they have to add abs.

That? That's just a boxer party.

Nobody is having enough sex. Least of all me. I may actually go see this movie.

Additionally, it seems that after 20 years or so, an MMR booster is a good idea? (I've been getting so many boosters lately, including the DPT booster that is technically not recommended for me because I have seizures. I'd rather get a DPT booster and have a seizure than get whooping cough from some asshole parent's…

Or:

My dad wears a 30-year-old Rolex given to him by his father. It no longer works.

I don't know. This doesn't make sororities seem so bad to me. The tone seemed more helpful than harsh. I may not be the sorority type, but if I were about to join one, I'd like a guide like this so I wouldn't make a fool of myself. It's like asking your friend how formal her dinner party is going to be... and then…

Seriously! Have they never heard the term "blow job tips"????? Not that there's anything wrong with giving blow jobs, of course, but I don't want my hands to call that image to mind.

I've never seen the show, but here's a theory: maybe kids wish their parents would push them harder, so that they could reach their teen years with some talent besides taking pictures of their boobs? I say this not to condemn The Youth, but because I was a very undisciplined child myself and I used to really crave…

I believe the article made it clear: if you get the flu, you healthy young person you, and then pass by a little kid, or a grandmother, or a pregnant woman, or someone with immune problems on the way to getting your own chicken soup because no flu slows you down, you can pass it to them and they can hurt bad.

Fun story about flying with Orthodox men: On my way back from Israel a couple years ago, I was seated next to some old Orthodox guy. Halfway through the flight, he pretended to fall asleep and then kept "accidentally" dropping his hand into my lap. I was 19 and didn't know enough to call the flight attendant, so I…

Maybe you just shouldn't wear pants.
