Oh dear god, I'm so very glad I didn't read this (or something like this) 4 and half years ago when my husband and I were honeymooning in Hawaii. For the part of our trip we rented a bungalow near the water on Molokai. The island is pretty depressed due to lack of any industry anymore on the island. All there is/was…

You're the Worst is definitely the best rom-com sitcom to come along. I did give A to Z a try and I'll probably stick with it despite not being wowed by it because Cristin's a friend of a friend. The camera loves her and she's a whole lot of fun to watch (Feldman's not half bad either), but unfortunately the writing…

Oh, I totally believe this. I think Blind Gossip had some pretty good evidence for this belief.

Thank you for your post. I think one of the most exhausting aspects of my BC diagnosis is educating everyone in my life about the very basics of breast cancer. It's surprising how much people don't know about it, but then again as you said, it's complicated and people don't really want to invest the time learning…

Ack! I'm kicking myself that I didn't get tickets for this. I saw the NY Phil's Company concert 2 (?) years ago and although it was a bit pricey, it was worth every penny.

I think adding breasts with lumpectomy and axilla scars, reconstructed breasts and non-reconstructed mastectomies would help destigmatize those us who cop'd a feel and/or imaged and found something.

How is that cat not scared shitless? My cat would not be down for strolls in busy and loud SoHo.

What's a more translucent clam chowder? That me.

The Pop/R&B diva stuff doesn't really register to me because I don't really pay attention to it, but this was fun to watch. But really, I just wanted to post: Kander and Ebb are/were geniuses. American treasures. They really should be names better known in the mainstream.

Wow! I really need to rewatch Dead Poet's Society.

Guys - this really has been a shitty year for me for so many things that I'm starting to lose track. I can't even imagine the kind of pain Robin was in because I don't really suffer from depression. But I do suffer from anxiety, so I can relate to not having the…

Well, now I know my boss and SJP have the same taste. Blech. I'm not a fan of the super minimalistic, ultra modern look. My boss' old Chelsea apartment was a miniature version (comparatively miniature - huge to most NYers) of this house.

Yeah, now that I think about it. I've encountered this too. The first time I traveled to Europe I went to Barcelona and stayed with a native friend. She and her college girlfriends took me to a local amusement park. One of the themed lands/sections was the "The Far West" which was the American Wild West. I just…

As a baby cancer survivor*, I want to be Robin Roberts when I grow up.

I don't think you get the concept behind "cancer survivor." A cancer survivor doesn't necessarily mean that person will not die of the disease. It just means that the person has been through treatment and now in survivorship phase. My Dad is a two year survivor of prostate cancer, however, with his recent upward…

Why? WHY?! Would anyone watch to watch this? I just don't get it. Yes, I'm a emetophobe, but I still don't understand how those who aren't afflicted with my phobia can enjoy watching people vomit up food/alcohol and bile. Blerg!

Sign me up! My husband and I are looking into surrogacy because carrying a child myself could cause a recurrence in my BC. The whole topic just has me spinning with all sort of emotions, an artificial womb could become host to one or more of our embroys that are currently artificially frozen in some artificial…

Blech! I was just listening to a recent episode of Kamil Nanjiani's X-Files podcast and they were discussing "Tooms" and they went into the grossness that is Doug Hutchinson. I think Kamil may have accidently summoned him. Dude, Kamil, be very careful with your powers!

"At pretty much every blogging job I've ever had, I've been told (by male managers) that it'd be a death sentence to moderate comments and block IP addresses, because it "shuts down discourse" and guts traffic." - As you know, Lindy, that is some bullshit. My husband runs a very popular blog that's part of a larger…

Ha! My friends have one of those, but they use it to do the initial spray cleaning of their son's cloth diapers. I mean, their model may have been marketed for diaper cleaning, but it may just be a hand held bidet. It's a two-fer device. Awesome!

Well, UK, we're already stealing all of your talented actors for our fictional TV and film, we might as well take your comedians/hosts as well. I have nothing against this because I'm a huge Anglophile, but I do agree that we really should be going with some home grown diversity before stealing from abroad.
