Heh. Hello from the Bay Area!

I suppose Katy Perry's "California Gurls" should have discussed water shortages, migrant farm worker's rights, rising rent and gentrification, and state budget shortfalls.

I don't understand why this isn't just common knowledge. It should be everyone's responsibility. You also don't have to worry about dropping anything in the toilet and it helps reduce the amount of germs that fly out of it when you flush. C'mon, people.

As a life-long Gwen/No Doubt lover (Beacon Street Collections & Tragic Kingdom were my first albums EVER, on cassette), I must say I've been so disappointed in her stuff in the last few years even though I REALLY want to root for her. Her first solo album was decent, but she never really reinvented herself or matured…

It's fine if you don't want a formal ceremony, but let's not pretend there aren't cultural, social, and religious customs that come with some weddings (read: people of different religions and cultures may value their traditional marital customs, even if you don't). Also, for a lot of people the wedding is really for…

How lentil-y of you.

To quote the wise words of Dan Savage - "FUCK FIRST"

I don't always, but when I do, it's because the pooping muscles were ejecting the tampon anyway.

I take it out before I poop, and then replace it after I'm done. I hate period poops. They are the worst.

Pretty sure that the National one is not at all shade, not even about a technicality. They're legitimately friendly with Arcade Fire, and this isn't really at their expense since Arcade Fire cash >>> the National cash. (Not that the National are doing poorly, just...Arcade Fire does very, very well.)

Reminds me of this Tumblr post, captioned "How do I tell my mom that this "minimalist wooden nativity set" she put up just looks like a forest of dildos"

"We have prisons now filled with guys my age. Sixty-year-old white men in prison who've never harmed anybody,

Right? As a pediatrician, my least favorite is when they claim that list includes being a "nurse" or a "pediatrician." No, you're not. It took us a lot of time and money and licensing to get those degrees. Putting a bandaid on a cut =/= health professional. STFU.

Mr. Big not having any friends was always kind of weird. Like, the guy who heckled him at the rehearsal dinner—he was at their rehearsal dinner, but Carrie didn't even know who the fuck he was, and Big called him "some guy from the office". Why was he at the rehearsal dinner? This is also underscored in the New Year's…

She really was, and unlike her three friends, she never grew much as a person over the course of the series. It's one of the reasons I don't feel the movies work very well. Carrie is a little pathetic at this point in her life, and while I think she'd still have those friends, it's increasingly difficult to have plots…

Just watched the episode where Miranda chases after Steve in the rain. Team STEVE!

Oh man, I wonder what they're doing now. I bet Bart has a couple kids and a mortgage, Lisa is a very talented freelance writer who constantly hits Marge up for money and wonders why she can't find any good guys on OKCupid, Homer has unfortunately died of his numerous health problems, and Marge would never admit it to…

We don't need to ask. They'll be here in a few minutes to tell us.

To me the weirdest part about this in the movie is that the cool girl rant is presented entirely without men. As if cool girl can exist without both men and women to keep it up. That was kind of infuriating to me—just looking at the girls in the car and naming them, even the one with her best friend. Like it's JUST…
