I completely understand her stance. I have fantasies where I think of winning a large sum of money and how I absolutely would not want anyone to know. I would be incredibly generous with it, but I would not want to be targeted.

I can’t even imagine how hard it is to fit into those outfits when you’re always retaining water.

True - we never see penises in Axe ads, after all.

I first learned about Prince Gohil from the Kardashians. They had him on their show and gave him a platform to share his story, which I thought was really cool.

I don’t understand why people are freaking out about this.

Being a particularly...morbid type of person, before I got to the guns part, I assumed they had a lot of people die with the do not disturb sign on their doors. My husband and I were discussing the other day how long it would take people to find our bodies if we died in the house. He thought two days, I thought much…

You know, it’s funny - I was always one of those off-white people when I lived in apartments, I think because it was just easier? You don’t have to worry about matching, you can just “accent” things. Now I live in an old 20's house with original wood floors and arched doors and dark wood everywhere and my place is…

...but a terrible cat.

Dude, helpful ghosts can be incredibly nice. The ghost in our house was a dick to me throughout my childhood (I posted about it last year, but I would have to dig through last year’s entries to find my story), but after my father died when I was ten and my mother and her new husband got really, really abusive, that…

Ok, I love this time of year, so forgive the new account, but I wanted to tell the story my grandmother told me. I can’t vouch for it completely, but she’s a very no-nonsense woman and I’ve never caught her in a lie (besides maybe how many martinis she’s had). Anyway, we’ll call her Betty. Betty grew up in Kansas in…

the loud sounds were LOUD.

I’ve been dying to talk about this movie, saw it yesterday and I’m just gonna say it. It’s way better than the first one. I absolutely loved every single minute of it’s generous run time.

Saw this yesterday and was delighted! I had no idea this guy existed, and it turns out he’s full of wonderful trivia like this! I write a lot of fanfiction for a medieval fantasy series (you can probably guess which one if you know my username) and now I’m going to be devouring his videos so I can be a more accurate…

There is an amazing field of digital archaeology and preservation emerging right now. I’m a professional architectural archaeologist, so I deal mostly in physical fabric remains, but as a major video game nerd, I can’t help but worry that so much of our intellectual heritage is being lost because of changing taste and…

This kind of shit is exactly why I left the art world. I saw a vegan I graduated college with (I know she’s vegan because she never shut up about it) defending this because it’s only through “extreme art” that we become “disgusted with ourselves.”

My sister and sadly departed momma bought me the book after that show aired. I had just started my part time job at Lancome the year before, so Momma excitedly taped the end of it for me thinking I’d love it, which I did. As of Christmas ‘97 (a few months later), I was the proud owner of Making Faces. I’m still a…

When you hunt and eat squirrels, you have access to squirrel blood. She may not have done the hunting but I wouldn’t be surprised. My father took me squirrel hunting when I was six. (I was an abyssmal failure and, once he pointed the gun, preparing to shoot, I realized what was happening and thought, “Bambi’s Mama!?!”…

He was an Oprah once (I beleive it was part of the Making Faces press tour since it featured heavily) and it was one of the most delightful hours of that show that I ever saw.

No joke, after I married my very white husband I started using his last name mainly because is so much easier for people than my Spanish last name, my resume was on fire! I got so many interviews than before and they were super surprise when my 4'11 brown self with a German sounding yet still American last name would…

I’d MUCH rather have a dry wedding than a cash bar, although the brides on that show seem to disagree with me - I can think of a few episodes where someone has had a dry wedding and one of the other brides says they wish there’d been a cash bar option. I’d deduct points for a cash bar. I don’t care what folks serve at…
