I’ll always take an opportunity to tell my Furby story:

OMG NOPE

Can you blame them? It’s easy for Gizmodo to find an iPhone. Like at bars and stuff.

I am so freaking jealous. I almost never write anymore, but if my handwriting looked like that I would be sending people personal notes all the f-ing time.

Stana’s handwriting is awesome.

Back in the day, Hostess Ding Dongs were wrapped in aluminum foil. My grandma would buy us a box now & again and my brother & I would wrap each foil wrapper around the next, making a ball. Over the years, we got it to the size of a softball until someone in the family threw it in the garbage without asking. I’ll never…

If I were to ever get married I would want it to be to this man. Or someone exactly like him. READING A BOOKS YOUVE READ 8 TIMES ALREADY. God. My heart be still.

YESYESYESYES.

Co-washing is pretty common for people with wavy or curly hair though. I haven’t used shampoo more than a few times a year in over a decade and my hair is better for it.

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Two related story lines take place, one centered on WW-II cryptography, and one on modern internet crypto. It’s one of my most favorite books; I’ve read it cover to cover eight times (it’s about 1000 pages) and I’m about to read it again.

All of the shots are designed to look like panels from a comic book. It’s what I love about it.

That moment..when he pushes the newspaper forward to his traumatised son at the end..the little nod of acknowledgment...

I totally disagree. I think that the clothing suited their characters, and that the show did a good job with the time they were working with (early 2000s, not a great time for fashion, but definitely a time when those scarves were everywhere) and also growing with them - Rory’s wardrobe in particular. Rory, at the…

Look, he may not cook as much anymore, but I’ve brought this up before and I’ll bring it up again: the Congo episode of Parts Unknown demonstrates his cooking chops for all time as far as I’m concerned. The dude make Coq au Vin on a rickety boat with no electricity and slaughtered live chickens to do it.

He was the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles before he was famous. It was his New Yorker article and subsequent book Kitchen Confidential about being a chef and working in the culinary world that made him famous. Since then he’s become more a food writer and celebrity eater, as you put it, but that’s not where he…
