I find the feminist love for Apatow to be so strange. Knocked Up was a mess. I do still love Freaks and Geeks and Love, looking at the writers for the latter it looks like he does have quite a few women in the room, especially compared to most shows. He’s a mixed bag for me, but I’m always weirded out when people heap…

My point really wasn’t about the distance, but that he was proposing to show her he takes the relationship seriously instead of just asking her if she wants to get married.

My artist husband is not only going to look at every piece of art, he’s going to stick his face in every piece for ~3-5 minutes to study the technique.

Ours isn’t big, it’s just really long and he currently works in the furthest northern town, whereas she’s near the bottom. There’s also very little public transit here so a lot of driving is required and teachers work insane hours. The distance doesn’t seem to be a problem though, but there is some concern about…

I recently had a younger coworker tell me he was proposing to his girlfriend so she would know he was serious about the relationship. I wanted to say, “ just tell her you see the relationship seriously and ask of she wants to get married!” They live a few hours apart and she’s just started her career whereas he works…

I spent 6 years working in my field with my degree and even when I finally got the coveted job title I was still making the same amount of money (35k). It’s a shit situation out there. Most of my friends work freelance or are public servants because unless your parents are rich and connected you aren’t getting…

There were areas around Nagasaki that had foreign visitors and students.

At a festival people walk around with their food if there is no place to sit or stand and eat. Usually the old folks take up the sitting areas and the young people and families walk around with their food.

The selfie culture here drives me nuts. I can’t go to any tourist attraction or museum because every thing worth seeing is blocked by people taking selfies in front of it or sticking their cameras in it. Photos are banned in a lot of museums luckily or you wouldn’t get to see anything except through the screen of…

The only museum I paid for was the Churchill museum and it was so worth it! However that was nearly a decade ago so I can’t remember the price. England was so expensive at the time, the exchange rate was 2:1. I was lucky to stay wth a friend’s family during part of the trip.

The museums in London were so wonderful to see as an English major fortunate enough to afford a shoe-string trip to England after graduation. I grew up in a poor state in the South and it is rare that we get to see the kind of art hoarded at museums in at the Met. If I were able to scrimp and save to get there I…

I felt the same way, especially since their entire purpose is to care for the island and the Jedi temple and Luke and Rey break everything.

WUT. There is nothing problematic about any of this. There are regularly different editions of books which might have slightly altered content. This information is easily available in the copyright page. Any public art can be recontextualized or subverted by other artists, that’s pretty much what art is. None of this…

This is my every trip to Aldi’s to buy just one thing, but end up with all the things and no bags.

No Ghostbusters sequel was going to be a great movie though, even the original Ghostbusters sequel. It’s just a silly summer movie. Disappointing, but the cast was all great. I only saw it in theaters because of internet dudes. My husband and I also use to walk to the theater near our old place with a bottle of…

This is why the big reveal bothered me, I never saw an indication that she cared about her lineage. She just wants to know where her family went and where she fits into the new family she’s found. She also has this power that she doesn’t understand and wants to know what she needs to do with it. Finding her place…

Throwing him out an airlock would have done the trick too.

Star Wars has never cared about the laws of physics.

So once Benicio kindly pointed them out they just shot blindly and were lucky to blow most of them up without being able to see them.

But Poe “learning” from his failure meant he now gets to lead the resistance even though he just got everyone killed. I didn’t really see where he learned anything.
