the angle of that header photo is honestly terrible or terribly good, maybe? it accentuates his many chins and he always reminds me of an angry snapping turtle.

it’s on Netflix and I find it quite cheery (I watched the first three eps last week during a really bad patch at work), like a very gay great british bake off. ymmv, tho!

I kept mixing up her name with the Russian figure skaters while I was texting a friend as we watched a livestream together (albeit in different countries) so we just kept screaming HOT RUSSIAN at each other. god, i can’t believe she’s married to her curling partner.

did anyone else read the first ~500 words thinking it was about the band Purity Ring and THEN realize it was about the actual purity ring that people wore? Or do I just need to drink more coffee?

as an ABC, i honestly was terrified that emma stone or scarjo would somehow slot their pasty faces into Mulan and I am SO happy they actually got an Asian gal. (I suspect playing into the Chinese movie market also played a huge role but I am Not Here for Emma Stone playing a partly-Cantonese character again.)

I’m not sure why you’re bringing up the Washington Post? The New York Times broke the story earlier this morning — two different cities, two completley different media outlets.

I’m *almost* done with Season 1, but I’ve had friends try to watch season 2 after they raved to me about season 1 when it was airing and give up because it was just...not very good. Is season 2 worth it in your opinion?

sounds like that scene from the Royal Tenenbaums where the BB is stuck near his knuckle

I was studying in Singapore one summer and I was That Asshole who brought durian onto the train, even though there are signs everywhere that say don’t. I figured that it was saran-wrapped, in my bag, under a jacket and that I was fine. Dirty looks followed me across all my transfers.

every time i see Stevie Nicks’ name I can’t stop thinking of Lucy Lawless in the SNL skit with “Fajita Roundup.”

I bought Halo Top ice cream because I wanted ice cream and I also wanted to maintain my gainz from the gym, and then my girlfriend’s like, “beezy, if you’re going to cut calories, don’t try cutting with shitty ice cream. get good ice cream, and cut something else out.”

i held off on a stainless steel pan because everyone’s like nah girl, you’ll never be able to cook eggs without sticking in it

came here to post this but you beat me!

I was about...seven, maybe, when I picked up my first HP book from the library. My brother was about 16 and “borrowed” it while I was at a swim lesson. When I realized he was reading it and wouldn’t give it up I had an EPIC hissy fit and my mother quickly had to go to the library to pick up another copy.

is there a running list somewhere with all the hats worn by people in the past so designs aren’t repeated? would it be a faux pas to show up in a spaghetti and meatballs hat next year? or would the tabloids do a “who wore it better” sort of spread?

I traveled with 5 others through Bangkok and we all shared the same street food, but I was the only one who started upchucking into the river outside the Royal Palace and had a gnarly round of vomiting/delirium in the backseat of a taxi while sitting in Bangkok traffic as my friends went on a nighttime bike tour…

I stood in line for about 45 minutes on a weekday to try Tian Tian chicken rice in Singapore and it was so good I wanted to cry. Worth the wait in the godawful humidity and heat.

nothing makes me happier than seeing fellow ladies lift a bunch of weight and win things

(my max deadlift is 215lbs but i am such much bigger than heather, shit. she’s amazing)

“Moon juice power dust” sounds like some kind of Sailor Moon performance supplement.

i can’t get drunk (issues metabolizing alcohol; kombucha gets me all flushed and just a little beer will make me vomit) so I’m always on the non-alcoholic train:
