I won’t read this one online — I just started in on my advance copy of her new collection (which I believe is out on Tuesday) earlier today, and I’ll get to it in print soon — but I will say that the ones I have read so far in it are very strong. I’m really digging it so far.

It’s such a nuanced and confusing subject to approach, even for ourselves, which I’m sure is a big part of why most of the conversation around the issue — so far, and likely to come — has been rather messy.

Was wondering the same thing. I’ve been using Out of Milk for ages, and it already does (and has always done, as far as I know) all of the above.

Sure! I’m honestly amazed at how much seeing my acupuncturist has helped; I’ve been dealing with/walking differently to accommodate pain from a torn muscle from half my lifetime ago. I’ve never actually had any acupuncture done myself (though the guy I see does offer it), but I have had blood cupping done, and as…

Would love to see CA follow their lead on this one.

I’m with you on this in this thread, for sure. I mean, the FBI was on his ass for two solid decades, doggedly, and found nothing. That DA really wanted him for anything he could get him on, too. (I covered the trial back in ‘05, during my criminology major years.)

Unrelated to crusty old dudes and their gross shit, but: acupressure has done wonders for the pain issues I do have!

I could bike or hike for 20 miles without breaking a sweat, dance my ass off, surf. I miss that rude ability and lack of pain that went along with it.

LOL yup. If I had a dollar for every little crybaby dude who unmatched me on Tinder once he found out I’m six feet tall...

Yeah, now that I’m in my 30s, I think I look way better than I did in my 30s. I’m not in the physical prime I was (since I’m not an athlete or dancer anymore), but that’s really only in reference to how much I could punish my body in terms of what labor I had to put it through at work and shit. On the whole in…

I brought this up elsewhere, but I’m forever gray on Lifehacker so no one will see it, but THANK YOU For bringing up her container shit. That was such an obvious, hypocritical cash-in it just made me laugh when I first saw it.

I hope it passes soon. I’ve been sick of it since her book came out. And not just because I’m a bookseller (and publisher) by trade. I work in a secondhand bookshop; we literally trade in books that pass through one set of hands to others. That’s not the issue.

Congrats on the book deal! I do enjoy your articles here, and I really loved your last post on the Tumblr blog you had going (not sure if that was going to continue or not, but I can see it ending there, especially as you have other projects to work on now).

As someone who lives in the east side of Hollywood, I agree! I’m in a very walkable area, and walk anywhere I can (I consider anything 5 miles or less, one way, to be walking distance), but I still like to go out exploring elsewhere whenever I can, and there’s still a lot I’d like to see and haven’t yet.

Ugh, I’m sorry. I know how you feel, and it’s rough. (I will warn you away from OKCupid though, if I can, because holy hell, my few months on that site were HORRIFIC. Never again.)

Haha, you mean NY guy and Buster? I concur. ;)

I may just do that! I’m generally not a big fan of collections, but with King, who tends to be a bit wordy for my taste, that might be an interesting read.

Thank you! I agree. I love black kitties, too (Stella, who was formerly mine and my mother’s cat, who now just lives with her in my hometown, is also a lovely black cat).

Calling something a “full-blown affair” and claiming they’ve “fallen in love with each other” is hardly a “one time” screw up, you obtuse moron.

“Poor willpower” is an incredibly lame, deeply immature, pansy-ass excuse. You’re an adult in an adult relationship? Act like it. Only children genuinely believe that kind of justification will actually fly.
