Maybe if we just combine the MTV Movie Awards and the Oscars into a single show that would help. Each seems to have become somewhat irrelevant and boring in its own right (Oscars are actually boring, MTV Movie Awards boring watching all the stars trying too hard to be edgy or interesting....), maybe if we do a mashup…

*all-NEWS, not all-new. Again: the dumbing-down of 'Merica....

"Soledad is talented at producing in-depth, serious pieces of journalism, and is a tough interviewer. That doesn't seem to fit the direction the network is going."

or.... unfortunately. Either way she came out of the birth with scars for life and FOUR boys to care for. Return on investment seems questionable. But, as banshee said, mazel tov!

soooooo... what are we going to do in the meantime while we're trying to get the sweeping systemic changes to take root? Sob into our dinner because there's never enough time or money or manpower to get these kinds of changes to take place? I think this stand-up-and-dance thing is silly. There was a huge…

snap.

RIGHT?!? We had this huge drunken discussion about it when she got back (I supplied the Veuve to celebrate, she got to say whatever she wanted about what happened without it being held against her at a later date) and I was, like, dumbfounded.

OMG OK so this EXACT THING happened to a girlfriend of mine a couple of years back. She had met this great guy on eharmony and they had been long-distance dating for I think about 18 months (he lives in Canada, she in the U.S.). Then he invited her on a surprise vacation where he wouldn't tell her where they were…

Notice I never called myself "skinny". I made the same choice you did: to maintain some semblance of quality of live vis a vis food in exchange for a couple of "extra pounds". I'm not talking about making that bargain with yourself. I'm talking about actually lying to yourself about doing all the good things you…

I think for me being someone who was really big and then slimmed down quite a bit, I had to admit to all of the lies I was telling to convince myself that I was doing all the "right things" and yet was still fat. Now, not everyone is like me and my situation could be completely different than any individual's…

Fist bump. Blow it up.

Word. Said churros are made all the more delicious by the scent of the Mold-O-Rama noisily ticking away as it creates a lovely wax elephant or Sears Tower for your souvenir-ing pleasure

also....... day before Valentine's, I don't really need: 1) a reminder that I'm single; 2) a reminder that Lindy West apparently thinks I'll spend every day - including Valentine's Day - on my couch hunched over eating a glass-laced Lean Cuisine right out of its black plastic tray; 3) a reminder that Lindy West's bad…

Red Line is a little better (cuz, you know, it goes to the dreaded SOUTH SIDE where robbers and non-white people live and ooooo that's really scary!) but still not great. We still get our share of Trixies sporting some gigantic ring that about blinds me every time she moves and it catches the light. In an effort to…

yeah but..... cats and dogs and other pets were domesticated to serve humans in various ways - one of them being emotional support and companionship. Totally cool with you being attached to your cat (my dog is definitely in the running for my best friend), but as a woman who was told growing up and even now that I'm…

You are a smart, smart person. I would love if this were practical in real world application. Seriously, I would. I constantly find myself trying to keep track (both for myself and on my friends' behalves) of how much "me" time we're both getting, trying to keep it even and oh my god does it drive me bonkers. I…

I hear ya, girl. There was another article on Jez recently (I thiiiiiink....... I might not be remembering correctly) that parsed the date-able men in a particular city down to like 116 for every 321 women. It does seem hopeless sometimes, but you just keep the faith and keep making yourself happy in other ways!

Jesus Christ you're like a dog with a bone. Who needs to grow up now?? Let it die, hon. I told you you're right. You're the master of the universe. You've got it all figured out and should be respected and followed by many. Go find those people.

Love you, love the comment, love everything.
