No. 4 con is totally correct for a People con. (It is in fact crazy that there only been one non-white Sexiest Man Alive.) But my Denzel con would be that, handsome as he was in 1996, he had not yet reached peak Denzel. Of course, how was People magazine to know in 1996 that he would get even more handsome in the…

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Oh thank goodness. I thought I was the only person who fucking hated The Magus. Damn you, 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, for suggesting it!

I had some jerk ram me in the wrist with a saxophone case on the LA Metro. Of course, that was on purpose, because it was a late night train and there was only one other passenger in the car, but he still decided to go between me and the pole I was hanging onto instead of go around the other side of the pole where…

I may be a monster. I watch these hamster videos expecting to be delighted and then...I feel nothing. But I will watch videos of cats, dogs, and great apes all day long, so maybe I am not entirely dead inside.

I'm fine with Spam, but I also don't care if I ever have it again. My mother and my husband, on the other hand, both love it.

Jalapeños on hot dogs are delicious.

I taste sweetness, which is why I don't care for it. It smells pretty strong, but the taste is weak.

No and Why the fuck? simultaneously.

I didn't wash my hair Saturday or Sunday, and Ye Gods! there was so much hair coming off my head this morning. It just would not stop, and I was like, "This is fine, hair, but eventually, I have to exit the show and go to work. Also, there is a drought. Please make your escape as quickly as possible."

Yvette Nicole Brown is the best panelist on Talking Dead. She really does her homework, and this week we literally saw the notes she takes. :)

Oh no.

What the fuck am I looking at here?

Thank you! I gave up on Target, because they became pretty much indistinguishable from Wal-Mart, but I still have to buy things sometimes, and you have reminded me where I can go when smaller stores don't have what I am looking for. Looks like a Costco membership is in my future.

Fair enough. And I'd be happy if the movie theaters closed on Thanksgiving too. Basically, I am all about slowing the inexorable march toward everything being open.

I was very concerned during a book club once when a friend thought that was the conclusion you were supposed to draw... :(

I totally get that. My post below is kind of tl;dr, but basically the customers you get in a bar on Thanksgiving when most places are closed are so different from the kind of customers you get in big box retail on Thanksgiving.

I've been thinking about this as well. I honestly think it is the idea of changing the culture of the day that is upsetting. I think Thanksgiving should be a day that most people have off, in which they are free to see family and friends. It used to be essential services, the travel industry, a few bars and…

Um, Katy Perry, did you just say something awful to distract us from the fact that taking selfies of yourself in a nightie to post on the internet seems kind of sad?

My sympathies. Dog farts are the worst, smell-wise.
