The only portrait my husband and I have is the free one we got for chaperoning my school's prom. Instead of wedding photos, I have some prints of dia de muertos style paintings of wedding couples that I bought from a local gallery (we live in San Antonio, so I thought it was fitting). I may force him into something…

I feel blessed to have my job. I sing and dance (with or without music or reason) all the damn time and people just think it's all a part of my charm. I've made it my life's work to be as unhip as possible while still being considered cool. Whoever decided that teachers are supposed to be dorky/goofballs/annoying…

But....but....but......it's not even good. I don't know why, but the fact that this looks like some kid with a point-and-shoot took pictures of some other kid and had it developed at the drug store makes it seem that much more insulting. The…

My students - all 14-16 and teeny-tiny - on adult women, not so much. I think peplum is one of those things you only wear as a teenager in order to seem more sophisticated, but looks totally childish or weird once you hit your 20's.

Both of which have large African American student populations. (Jeff Davis is one of Forrest's feeder schools)

Kushiel's Dart by Jacquiline Carey - but only if you like high fantasy and social/political/religious commentary with your erotica.

When I saw the headline, I thought what they had done was pair the original with a modern recreation. THAT would have been cool, you could do like all kinds of commentary on sexuality and sexual politics in contemporary society and stuff. But, the whole photoshopping a naked chick with tan lines into classical art…

My maine coon Hank-for-Senate lookalike has the horking to a science. Even when we give him the special tasty medicine (that is so tasty, even the short hairs want in on it) on his paws.

They needed a little more time to get used to each other. My cats stayed in my bedroom for nearly a month sniffing under the door at my roommate's 2 cats and 2 dogs. We were afraid to let them out together because my oldest is a serious asshole. I left the door open by accident one day and one of hers came in and…

I don't know, it just seems off. In our experience with businesses, the only way a person gets above average service is if they are paying through the nose for it. So, if this story is true, then it isn't some ordinary family (as evidenced by they 4 trips a year between London and Boston). They've obviously had to…

We're easy pickins. A whole bunch of us still live at home, and not just the sad man-child-who-will-never-get-it types of your generation. Too many of us can't get good paying jobs in our field of study. We're defaulting on our loans. Hard work ALWAYS means success, even if you weren't born to privileged, so…

I have IBS and take a couple medications that, while quite necessary, only make the problem worse. I eat plenty of veggies and what not, and get exercise. Ermagerd (and GERD), Judgey McJudgerson.

The guy who drew "The Singing Shark" comic did a couple comics of the Pillsbury Doughboy going on a rampage. I tried finding it QQ

Like a book fair?

I thought that, too. I saw the one Kong made for dogs (which dispenses kibble-sized treats) and wanted one for my kitties. Found one by Smart something-or-other, it's about the size of an Easter egg and has a weeble-wobble base. All three love that friggin' thing (at least, once they figured out how it worked) and…

Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that this IS AN ACTUALLY BOOK!!! HOLY CAT, WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?

I spent way too much time last week watching React videos. The teens in these videos are such cool kids and I feel like my faith in humanity is restored a little bit each time. They have done more serious videos with the teens (Amanda Tod and Sandy Hook), and hearing the teens' insights and feelings is heartening.

At 31, I consider myself on the cusp of Gen X and Gen Y. I'm mostly Y, but still have a lot in common with X.

I think that's the one thing that bugs me about perceptions of bisexuality - that the bisexuality only happens when that person is between long-term romantic relationships or is polyamorous. When Piper* is with Vause, she's a lesbian. When she's with Larry, she's a straight girl. When she is between lovers, or…

When was the last time I needed more than one. I feel old now. Gee thanks, man.
