Kotaku comments are the reason I never go over there. Always a shitshow.

All of the humming noises are why we think my brother, still, as an adult, falls asleep best in the car. When he was really little it was the only way to get him to sleep or with white noise machines and we really think it's linked to the machines he was hooked up to for so long.

Yeah, my brother was just around a pound and a half at birth and had shit loads of surgery his first few years. He has scars literally going up one side of his torso and down the other because that was the only way to make the incision large enough to do anything. He didn't have to have anything besides his wisdom…

My siblings and I have ALL had this complaint about my youngest brother who was born super early as well. I believe the usual phrasing was "just because he looked like an unhatched chicken at birth does not mean he doesn't have to do dishes."

Uggh true. My best friend married an Englishman. They had one tier of fruit cake and then she insisted on the rest being edible.

Yeah something about the hair, make up, and pose made me think "huh why is Hailee Steinfeld next to the Lorde story?" Maybe it's because my image of Lorde is big hair, purple lipstick, and face forward staring you down. Proof that two people who don't really look that much alike except for basic coloring can with…

Possibly "Minnesota" as an alternative. I was given a cookbook by my husband's VERY Minnesotan relatives and like, every recipe calls for mayo. I hate mayo.

I'd watch the shit out of that.

He is more interesting than Thor. There I said it. I would enjoy those movies a lot more without Thor and Natalie Portman.

We called that a snob party in college. It was actually a fun excuse to dress up and drink.

Cause the Thor movies are such an accurate translation of Nordic mythology anyway?

Shit no, we're talking daughter married off with not enough importance to even get her name totally remembered by history (there are variations and it's basically- she married this dude who we're descended from, her name isn't important Patriarchy!) Robert of Gloucester is a bad ass though and I would totally claim…

^My family to a T. That part came to the Americas in the 1600s and were largely the un-inheriting offspring of various landed persons. Plus a Puritan or two.

You're on my fun list right now. Teach me all about the historical makeup and hair! Also, thanks for confirming my "huh, something doesn't look right here" about the whole thing.

Statistically, that's not even that big of a fucking deal. I mean, let's look at it this way- William the Conqueror had maybe about 7000 men with him at the Battle of Hastings. Say half of those men had 2 children that reproduced- odds are, half the population of the UK is descended from them (I don't feel like…

That's what I was thinking. I remembered it being king of the cannibals too and was mildly confused until I got to that part of the article.

This has been my public service for the day. I must share the wonders of Prince with the world.

So, I actually get a ton of my music selections from our local radio station, which streams online, and is t also is the best radio station I've ever heard. It's mostly alternative, indie, and local, with some older stuff thrown in for good measure. Recently I've been doing an 80s alternative thing, The Cure, New…

This is a good starting place- Seriously, watch til the end.

Our spies say it seemed like P was annoyed that the band couldn't keep up.
