My theology is totally Snapist.

She goes into less detail about Hagrid's chest hair: "His chest was covered in a thick, unruly carpet of coarse, brown hair."

Science and socialism and birthdays, oh my! Science and socialism and birthdays, oh my!

On the bright side, you get rain, and presumably your state is not always on fire. This morning I woke up to the news (and smell) that our port was on fire. The port. Even the water catches fire here. (Not that it was fresh water anyway.)

Happy Banned Books Week. http://www.ala.org/bbooks/frequen…

I'll send them your way.

Oh, I'm not seriously suggesting that anyone should relocate on the off-chance that they might have an easier time dating on the other side of the country. (Although I jokingly tell my single guy friends they should relocate to New York.) People have jobs, friends, family, etc to think about. I just find it…

Guilty as charged. I can't speak to the experience of WOC out here, or how it would compare to the dating scene on the East Coast.

Thanks! I'll check it out. I think Adam Sandler is very good as well, but he is definitely not opposed to getting a paycheck for terrible movies in between his good ones.

What are squorts? It sounds like a bodily function.

Christ, what a bunch of assholes.

I'm very curious about Vaughn. I think he pretends to be worse than he is, because it has been highly lucrative for him. (Not unlike McConaughey , or Adam Sandler.) The fact that he has signed on for this gives me hope.

Where do you live? I live in SoCal, and I have to say, in my group of married friends, the men are on average more attractive than the women (including my husband who is way hotter than me, and was hotter than me when we met). It's not a scientific study or anything, but when I lived in the Midwest and the East…

That slideshow was gross. Don't dignify shit like that with a link.

I'm pretty sure it was Megan's brother, getting her back for that wicked prank she pulled on him.

Yes! I want children, but kids are like any other group of people- you get along with some better than you get along with others. To me, the idea of saying, "I just love kids!" sounds as wrong as saying, "I just love adults!" Kids are individual human beings, just like adults are. I don't love them all.

"But presenting this as a world where men can have their cake quite literally and still get tail, while women deny themselves food and sex and hot bodies because they feel like gargoyles who simply can't engage with their own desire, will do nothing to help men and women understand each other, themselves, sex, or…

Sometimes I'm kind of sad that I don't have a clear regional accent, because I moved a lot, and my mother (always ashamed of her Texan accent, which is mostly gone now unless she is talking to my aunts) would not allow me to acquire one.

I totally want to morph slowly into an old-time movie Mid Atlantic accent. (Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant Mid Atlantic accent, not Delaware Midatlantic)

I totally say them with even emphasis. CREAM CHEESE.
