I honestly never expect much from the interview when it’s an actor/musician/generally famous person, even from Stewart. “Oh, your movie is hilarious! Oh, this other mutual acquaintance who is also famous is so great!”

There’s probably an app for that.

Would watch.

Definitely my gay friends are living gay lives. They drive gay cars (Honda Fit, amirite?) have gay jobs (engineer=totally gay. teacher=totally gay. Doctor=gay with jazz hands). They live in exclusively gay cities/neighborhoods (this is statistically improbable but must be true). They only have gay friends (except when…

I also highly recommend A Woman In Berlin: Eight Weeks in A Conquered City.

So lovely!

I love the whimsy, but as they relate to weddings, some of these are very depressing. The bride often looks like I imagine Miss Havisham maybe a day or two after being left at the altar. She’s wandering alone, in her wedding dress, contemplating a world which can contain no life for a woman scorned. These brides are…

I should have laughed. Instead I rolled my eyes so hard my eyes are practically stuck up there. After all these years, it turns out my mother was right, your face can freeze like that after watching too much Fox.

I should have said that “better safe than sorry” was immediately followed by a “don’t *you* think?” which seriously loads the dialogue with a judgement. I don’t care what she eats or doesn’t eat, but I do care if people act like I would be reckless with the life of a child. I’d be 100% forgiving if she had said “yes,…

Hey, you do what’s right for your pregnancy. I’m not here to judge.

“Moderation is okay” is remarkably difficult for some people to get their heads around. There’s something about ALL or NOTHING that really appeals to a certain type of person. If everyone felt comfortable with moderation, diet books wouldn’t be such a cash cow.

Yeah, saying “you’re a peach” is a far, far cry from assigning your boss a pet name or a nickname.

EXACTLY. In southern usage, “Be a peach” is NOT a nickname.

They’re actually really nice people, but risk-adverse to the point of inhibiting regular life. As for me, let’s just say that “better safe than sorry” will not be on my tombstone. We all get along at work functions, but anything past the superficial and it’s like we’re speaking two different languages.

Calling someone a peach is NOT a nickname. It’s like saying “you’re great!” Or “Good work on that!” The correct usage is “you’re a peach,” “She’s a peach” (or, in this case, “could you be a peach”).

On the other hand, there’s my coworker’s wife, who refused to consume anything that was cooked in alcohol while pregnant. “You know the alcohol cooks off, right?” A very prim “Yes, well, better safe than sorry” was the reply to that.

Crystal Diamond was my dream name in kindergarten! I begged my parents to change my name so often, in retrospect it must have been really annoying.

You’re entitled to wear whatever you want and I hope you feel great in it.

I love the gender fluidity, I adore how much fun the models appear to be having, but if I saw someone wearing 99% of those items, I’d think something along the lines of “while you are entitled to wear whatever you want and I hope you feel good in it, next time a Kindergarten classroom vomits all over you maybe you’d…

I was going to visit my best friend on the other side of the country, the day before I was supposed to get there she had a horrible family tragedy and had to fly home, she says “I’m so sorry, but I’ve got a great friend and he’s going to meet up with you and show you all the cool stuff in town and I’ll see you in a…
