Mad Madam Mim: The Revenge

I do everything by hand. It’s a combination of being too cheap and having very little counter or cabinet space, but when I am working butter into sugar for cookies using a spatula, or making whipped cream with a whisk, I like to tell myself that I’m burning a few extra calories that can be enjoyed as dessert.

Absolutely. People can and should drink what they like, but I like Cabernet, and I love brie, and on many occasions, I have had them both in the same sitting, and found that they detract from each other. Just like I wouldn’t want to have grapefruit and coffee in the same breakfast.

Even if you’re very deliberately working hard to make a physical transformation, you don’t want anyone to imply you looked bad before you started making it.”

My work email client adds squiggles to indicate where I’ve used the passive voice, and I’m like, “This is work email.  I’m not just using the passive voice, I’m using the passive-aggressive voice.”  I would be immediately reprimanded if I tried to write work emails with the active voice. 

Be wary of inadvertent rhymes, of the “Rob commuted to his job” or “make sure that tonight is all right” sort. By “be wary,” I mean: Don’t do them.

Oh good.  Calling the mostly women who have announced “whores” already. Go fuck yourself.

You absolutely can be healthy and overweight, and in fact a 2013 meta-analysis found lower mortality for overweight people compared to normal or underweight BMIs.  Also, overweight is a distinct category separate from obese, in the same way normal weight is separate from overweight or underweight. Nobody in any of

Yeah, I’m not particularly into that genre, and I definitely don’t think this is the moment to begin exploring his work.  I was just trying to figure out if I’ve already heard him.  I don’t think I have.

The original title to that John Mayer song?

Christ, this guy looks like a ballsack that was allowed to dress itself.

I only know him as “Not the guy from the Robin Hood soundtrack.”

I’ve never heard any of his music, I don’t think. Is there a big song of his that I would recognize? Because the entire time he’s been famous, I’ve just thought of him as “Not the guy from the Robin Hood soundtrack.”

The anti-pop vibe is I think what made me uninterested in this movie.  It just seems so boring.

I make it a policy to block anyone on Instagram who misuses hashtags. I mostly follow design, fashion, and architecture-related hashtags, and if you use #1950s for an image of Hendrix at Woodstock, or #artdeco for a mid-century modern bureau? You’re blocked. Even if I like the picture.

It’s a bit minimalist for my taste, but overall it’s a lovely home. NPH’s house was my favorite that I’ve seen on these AD videos.

Yep. I got married at 26, but we had our kid when I was 34, because I was in grad school, we were working on our careers, etc. We waited so long that people asked me if it was an accident (which is imo a rude question if you’re not very close), because they assumed we planned ever to have them.  In reality, we planned

This is why we’re having just one. Also, real estate prices. It took more than a decade to come up with 8% to put down on a 2 bedroom. A 3 bedroom in my city costs more than half a million dollars to buy, and rent just keeps going up and up.  I know that lots of kids don’t have their own rooms, but I also know that

My issue when I watch many British TV series is the sound levels of dialogue versus music and background noise. It takes a lot more active listening. That’s not bad, but for audiences used to, say the American Office, the original version requires a pretty much silent living room, or you miss a bunch of it.

At 24 seconds in, the camera pans across the only piece of furniture in this ugly room, and it appears to be some sort of exercise equipment? Maybe a treadmill. Can anyone identify this? If you emptied the room for these vases, why would you leave a treadmill? Or is this always a large empty room with nothing but a
