Wow, then you would HATE me. I've let more than a few f-bombs fly in front of my kids, usually in the car (lots of drivers texting in my neck of the woods). It happens. And kids will ALWAYS repeat the one thing you don't want them to. And it is funny. Even though we probably shouldn't laugh, like, right in front…

I'm so pale I'm at a serious disadvantage when playing laser tag. I glow in black light.

Glad to see the Bianca-at-Prom-From-10-Things-I-Hate-About-You trend is alive and well. I love this look.

My vote for best-dressed. Way to go, Janis Ian.

Oh god I hope not. Watching the flight path on the seat back screen is the ONLY thing that keeps the plane in the air when I travel, I'm sure of it.

I'm sad about this, but it reminds me of a film I was obsessed with as a tween called All I Wanna Do. It's about an all girl's school that has decided to let in boys and a group of girls who are trying to stop it. Stars Kirsten Dunst, Gaby Hoffman, and Heather Matarazzo. Vincent Kartheiser is in it too. I rewatched it…

dont worry guys, i'll talk to tay. she's better than this.

The Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett album will be interesting. I will probably enjoy it more than FartPlop.

Wat.

I just bought The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro. Never Let Me Go is one of my favorite books of all time, so quietly dystopian and true, that I have high high hopes for this one.

If you're interested in contemporary womens' perspectives, I just finished A Walk Across the Sun by Corban Addison. It's about two Indian girls who lose their family in the 2005 tsunami and are abducted and sold into prostitution. The POV switches between them and an American lawyer working for an NGO that helps…

I just bought the new Murakami and can't wait to dive in!

Thanks for the recs! I'm part of a book club so these should come in handy when it's my turn to host! I just started Slaughterhouse Five this week.

Ok, not sure if anyone will see this, but: I'm moving to DC in a few days! Yay! But I am coming from overseas and I'm nervous to be in a city that I've never been to before and where I know no one. DC people, please reassure me that it's a great place to live and I'm not making a really bad decision?

Yeah I'm the same way. This song is SO damn catchy. And I know I shouldn't like the whole "boys like a little more booty to hold at night" but I DO because dammit, I have a big booty. I shouldn't get my validation from men but fuck it, I like when they grab my butt. AHHHH cognitive dissonance. I fail at feminism.

...which she then immediately dismisses in the next line. Like she says "just kidding" in the very next moment

The song's not perfect but neither is pretty much ANY other pop song. It's frustrating that so many other pop songs with kinda shitty messages get a pass because they're just pop songs so oh well, but when a song tries to have a decent message about body positivity it has to do it PERFECTLY or else it might as well…

Bad feminist here I like the song cause it's better than all the pop songs out there this summer. But I can't help rolling my eyes at " boys like a little more booty to hold at night" even though I enthusiastically sing along to the "that bootay, bootay" hook. Anyway if the men (looking at you John Legend, Pharrell,…

what does being single have anything to do with it?

Unpopular opinion time: while I really like dogs, I don't think they are a very good use of resources. It kind of bums me out how much better pets are treated than people in this world. Not that I think everyone should have to solve all the world's problems before they can spend money the way they want, but geez,…
