The book was ok. It replaced a lot of actual character development with '80s nostalgia. It is very heavy on descriptions of what things looks like, and not so much on how people feel, so I have a feeling it will be perfect for film.

Once when I was dating Mr. Par, and then once again after we were married, he became friends with a woman who clearly wanted him and didn't like me at all. I wasn't insecure, it was just really, REALLY obvious, to the point that, one time when he went to the bar I worked at with one of them, and I wasn't there, just…

Random stranger: "Smile"

Exactly.

I was a DJ at a wedding dj company for a year (horrible job!), and I've seen a few things, but the most intense one was a multi-cultural wedding I did. There was a whole stack of CDs in another language for me to play along with the company's library. That was cool, but difficult. I didn't speak the language, so…

Costco's cleanser wipes are great! You don't need another makeup remover.

So it is an Easy Bake Oven that is licensed with the Girl Scout logo and cookie stuff? Ok. Does the GSUSA get some of the proceeds? I'm assuming so, since their contact info was on the Wicked Cool Toys press release, but it doesn't say. And I want to know what percentage GSUSA gets.

Women are going to be sexually assaulted. And, men are going to be falsely accused of sexual assault.

I'm fucking horrified. I can't help it, just instant enragement.

Um, QUIT filming in portrait! That should have been in landscape. We could have seen the whole pushups! And we all wanted to see all of Gaston's body of work.

Let me see, they're coming here. Maybe they should suck it up and deal with the culture they're coming to, instead of making outdated demands. Just a thought.

Yep. I would always think at jerk customers, "I'm sorry that your life is so sad and miserable that you have to abuse me and my coworkers to feel better about yourself."

Start with the one that still confuses you the most! ;)

Hey, SNL, get a damned sound/acoustics engineer in there and FIX YOUR SHIT. While I'm not going to comment on the quality of the performers, the common denominator in this is you, SNL. Damn, even I know several good sound engineers that could do you a solid so that you quit looking so amateur in this respect.

I'll let both Drake and Taylor Swift write a song about our (non)relationship and how awful I am and then we can compare them. :D

I'm near the Twin Cities. I'm going to have to take a trip up to the restaurant.

And Janay Rice is absolutely right.

Saw this the day it was posted on Dear Prudence. I was ready to find that woman and slap her. The nice thing was that the comments were almost as good as these on Jezebel, about what a horrible woman the letter writer is. I also give Prudence herself kudos for her verbal slap to this woman. Oh, and the fact that…

You are officially on my hero list!

And "The Event". Don't talk about The Event!
