I watched 5 minutes of Frances Ha and had to turn it off. It’s too much hipster for me, without any self-awareness. If I had seen it when I was younger maybe I would’ve liked it more, but what I saw made me feel very “Get off my lawn.” I feel this way about Baumbach’s stuff.

I’M WET

Clothing with names is the #1 thing that prevents us for returning it or consigning it

You guys should definitely take the time to watch more of these Nautilus live videos. They’re so soothing and interesting! The narrators are always endearing and it’s just like going along on super interesting scuba dives with a bunch of friends. Who dork out on things like seeing a rare crab or something. The entire…

Jesus Christ, what a bunch of butts. I don’t have kids and I don’t want kids and I don’t really like kids but I do my best to nod along supportively when people talk about their kids or show me pictures or whatever because that is basic human courtesy and also I guess it’s really nice that people love their kids? It’s…

I would. Hard!

Try eBags.com. Huge selection, you can filter everything, and while they’re not super marked down, the prices are decent. I tend to browse them first when I’m looking for (errr or craving) a new bag.

Phone call between my husband and cold calling boiler room stock broker:

My new husband and I stayed in a cute little cabin on the Olympic Peninsula and cooked for ourselves the whole week while exploring the rain forest and local beaches. The very last night, we decided to splurge on a nice dinner out. We got all dolled up and had a drink or two and had a lovely evening. Driving along the…

Because at the end of the day, it's likely not changing very much. It's great if you are a musician like Jay-Z, who is fully in control of his own music. But most musicians are not. The "artist-owned" thing is bullshit - it's still going to be in the hands of their labels, and one of the main reasons why artists see…

It's all about convenience. Spotify can essentially go with you anywhere. I pay $10 a month and have unlimited access, commercial free, to all the music (with the exception of very few artists) that I want to listen to. I can listen on my PC, on my commute, pretty much anywhere. It's truly the best $10 I spend a…

A few years ago I was working as an environment reporter at a small newspaper on the Gulf Coast when some of my buddies from the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries invited me along to cover the release of a rehabilitated sea turtle. I was like, BEST ASSIGNMENT EVER.

Alright, I’ve never posted anything on Jez but I can’t resist this one-

See, the whole “quit acting like a girl” thing is what you need to avoid. That’s a key point that doesn’t seem to be sinking in for you. If your brain formulates thoughts like that, then yes, you should walk on eggshells and self-edit. If you can manage to string together a few nonsexist thoughts, then by all means,…

So, your solution to the problem of tech not being able to retain female employees is telling the female employees that they are the problem and are being babies? Someone is being childish here, but I think you need to look in the mirror. Not being able to say whatever you want, the way a toddler does, is truly being…

Isn't most store bought water just another location's tap water though?

I'm with your husband on this: get an actual reusable water bottle. Better for your wallet and MUCH MUCH better for the environment.

Team husband on this one!! Also saving those plastic bottles and reusing them cause cause chemicals to get into the water. Get a kleen canteen and bring water with you :)

I had a crazy thing happen to me once.

Not even terrible but (entire story NSFW)......Two days before my wedding, I got my period. My period is usually fairly well behaved- first day heavy, tapers off fairly quickly, lasts about 4 days total, move on with life. Not this time. We arrived in Vegas (Vegas wedding for the win) and had sex which made our hotel…
