This one is easy if you’ve ever seen Back to the Future II:

The Cubs. Definitely the Cubs. Last time they won a World Series was 1908. And because Chicago is awesome.

Ugh, I mean A Most Violent Year.

I have not seen Crimson Peak, but I do agree with you in regards to Jessica Chastain. I think she was miscast in both Zero Dark Thirty and A History of Violence. It’s just, like, her presence is barely felt. I think her voice may be to blame; it’s kind of a little girl’s voice. Not forceful or authoritarian like it…

It's a girl!

Since this is the last weekend before my surgery and I’ve been promising to forever, I have my 6 year old niece spending the night tonight. She’s a sweet kid and she misses me when I don’t see her enough (and vice versa!) Thank goodness I had the foresight to save a LOT of toys from my ‘80s childhood, because I pulled…

So sorry sweetheart. Here are my kitties on their new tree

Oh, honey. I am so sorry for your loss. Our pets are such an important part of our lives, and especially since you have had your buddy for eighteen years, that’s a long time and a lot of memories. I hope you are doing okay tonight. Be kind to yourself, even if you don’t feel like it. Make sure to eat nourishing food…

So I panicked last week that I’d applied for a job and not heard anything and OBVIOUSLY they hated me forever and people were really kind to me and I would like to state that, as many of you predicted, I was just being an overeager crazypants. I got a call in the week saying they’re going to start shortlisting for…

I don’t expect anyone to remember or even see this, but I posted last week about my brother’s reaction to finding out his kid might have Down’s Syndrome. It turns out that she will have Turner Syndrome. I really really wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented and made me feel better. This is such a great and…

Were any of you ladies and gents Model UNers? I’m a faculty adviser. I’ve been sitting in this conference for twelve hours now. I’m currently watching two of my students attempt to orchestrate WWIII right now. What’s with kids these days?

Had a date last night, a real actual date for the first time in about 4.5 years. I just had to shout it out here because reasons. Guys...I totally forgot what this feels like. It’s really nice

Last week, I obliquely mentioned that I was up for a new job and asked for good vibes. Y’all are magic, because it looks like I’ll get an offer in the next few days...knock on wood, I’ll be signing an offer to be a Title IX Coordinator! CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ALL! Miniature American flags for some!

Hate to be a downer tonight but I’m literally in the middle of losing my 18 year old kitty.

At 35 and with more than a few grey hairs I find myself wanting to ditch the dye and just embrace my hair the color it is (and more importantly the color it’ll become). I’ve been coloring my hair for fun since I was 15 but now it feels like an obligation, and my color of choice (reddish blonde, I have light brown…

I had a really good week this week! Quite impressed with myself... I completed a huge project at work, I managed to go somewhere out of my comfort zone without my mental health taking a dip, my derby sister got married on Wednesday, and I’m getting a raise next week.

Two days in a row? Thanks Jez :) I’m heading out on a date with a guy from work in 30 mins. We have plans for dinner then going to see his friend’s band play a show. I’m freaking the fuck out and I’ve been ready for over an hour now. Tips/advice to not screw this up appreciated. Hope everyone is having a great…

Good evening, Jezzies! I am seeking advice from those in the LA area. I currently live in Toronto, but my family and I will most likely be moving to LA in the next year or so. I’ve got two young kids, and have been told that education is a bit of an issue. Is private school the only way to go ( I’ve been told this a…

I LOOK REALLY GOOD RIGHT NOW AND I AM PUMPED TO GO OUT TONIGHT.
