I have been looking for this shirt in a women’s size forever. It doesn’t exist.

Which is a huge pain when you’re trying to buy a baby gift for someone who’s chosen not to reveal the gender. Gymboree used to have a decent selection of neutral clothing, but not anymore!

“Baby” should be its own gender until the age of 5 or so.

I think Portman doesn’t really GET science-fantasy movies. She’s not a bad actress, but she’s crap in Thor. And she’s actually good in Ep 1, but the movie is a shitshow and her character regresses from that point.

I have a clear memory of running through the yard of my parents’ first house, thinking that this would be the only summer I was 11 and didn’t it seem like you’d be 11 forever?

Okay, but there’s a whole list of people who survived things like “parachutes not opening when they jumped from a plane”. I didn’t say it was probable. Just that it is, in fact, possible.

Emerald City Comicon takes theirs quite seriously.

I lost it at Mjolnir tucked into a little drawer-bed.

“Don’t listen!”

My husband kept saying “I had no idea Chris Hemsworth was so funny!” and I was like “HOW?” His comedic timing as Thor is perfect, even as he’s playing straight-man.

If-Then-Else.

Mr. Bells and I keep talking about a new mattress but we can’t ever seem to commit. And he’s afraid a new one will hurt his back because he’s used to the old shitty mattress, so we just keep not doing it.

And people do sometimes survive falls that should have killed them. Not often, but that minuscule chance still sounds better than burning to death.

I get retroactive panic attacks when I remember my daughter really WANTED to climb Angel’s Landing. And I didn’t let her because fuck no. And it’s been almost 10 years.

I’ve camped up there too, and we weren’t even allowed to have fruit-scented shampoo in our cabins. Bears don’t know the difference between strawberry-scented Pert and actual strawberries. At least twice someone opened their cabin door to find a bear inside because they hadn’t listened.

While I totally agree that being out there at 3am was a poor decision, she worked at the park. I don’t think “some foreigner seeing it for the first time” is a fair or apt description.

Wearing the clothes you want to wear is not “degrading”. If I went to the beach in a rash guard and some surf leggings, maybe wrapped a scarf over my hair to keep the sun off, I’d be equally covered. Some women of all races, ethnicities, and religions WANT to cover their bodies for various reasons. I’d say it’s

You think that’s strident? Really? Okay.

I got a big ol’ Smashbox palette of neutrals with Birchbox points and it’s gonna last me forever. I hardly wear makeup as it is.
