"Mother Jones reports that while research had shown that giving middle and upper-class couples access to healthy marriage workshops, there wasn't much evidence showing whether or not the programs worked similarly for low income groups."

Oh. Oh, my goodness. Ohmigoodness, he is so adorably determined. I will spend my night watching turtle videos, apparently.

I have a friend who once put our supervisor on his bus home, drunk off his ass. He texted her something along the lines of, "Are you sure this is the right bus? I'm not sure this is the right bus. I'm very drunk."

True Blood totally needs more Pam. She is fabulous.

I have these. A grammatical error that confounds the exact meaning of a sentence, despite my understanding the intended meaning, can set me to tears or rage. Stuff like that. It's fabulous! (Not really.)

Those are adorable, and the neutral colours means they're likely to go with lots of things—depending on how much pattern you wear in your clothing. (But I'm not one for bold sartorial choices.)

It's a dumb question, but how does one join? Get a WordPress account, I assume? I could use someone to be accountable to. My fiance just mourns the potential loss of cleavage when I mention weight loss. =P

That sounds amazing. Wednesday D&D nights, capped with a past-midnight run to IHOP or Steak'n'Shake, were one of the highlights of university.

Yep, and they're not even hardcover! Not worth the paper it's printed on. It's common for books to cost more in Canada than they did in the US; the only exception to this, I think, is Walmart, but that may not have lasted. It was a policy implemented when the two currencies achieved parity.

It's $45 for the set here (Canada); they sit in the display in Indigo right beside the $45 Hunger Games trilogy. I am worried to think of how many children might pick them up.

I personally am a fan of, "firmly opposed to very large skirts." I'm not sure why. I just like how it comes out in my head. (I, personally, am a great fan of such skirts.)

I honestly don't know what it was that captivated me. I mean, I was seven. We were asked to pick a painting to sketch and then later recreate (in finger paint!), and this is the one I picked. And I haven't been able to shake it since.

My favourite piece is and always* has been Emily Carr's 'Scorned as Timber, Beloved of the Sky'. It's the only piece I've ever been compelled to get a print of, and it sits in my sight line at this very moment.

Northanger Abbey made me laugh a lot, because you could feel her satire dripping from every page. But I never finished because I left for school and had to leave the book behind. Sad.

I'd like to point out that the map and the headline make for a confusing stand-alone article.

I need to go to Winners, apparently.

"I remember that video from Before YouTube!"

If we can't tell, then it really is a terrible advert.

That commercial ticks me off each and every time it comes on the television. They just refer to it as a "you know" or some such!

There was a Egyptian man held in Canada in prison and under strict house arrest without a trial for over a decade, under suspicion of terrorist activity.
