My now husband and my’s second date lasted a grand 42 hours. We met for a drink after work on a Friday and chatted non stop all evening. We went back to his, and when we woke up in the morning he suggested breakfast, so we stopped at a place on the way to the tube station. I was totally inappropriately dressed, as it…

My second date with my now husband. We’d been out to the midnight showing of Office Space as our first date but it was officially with a group from work—this one was just us. We kept it low key and cool and very Seattle, renting a couple movies to watch—guess what they were?

A trip abroad to see the concert of an iconic Berber singer. Just looked him up, now, and learned that he passed away, last year. This one is for you, Idir. And thank you for everything you brought to us. 

Back in prehistoric times when being online meant AOL, CompuServe and local BBSs, I started to chat with a woman about not much at all, really. Just the kind of small talk that I’m terrible at IRL but can do a passable job with hiding behind a keyboard. We talked and flirted for over a year, occasionally one or the…

It wasn’t a date when it started but we met at a rough little diner we both knew and ordered HUGE milkshakes while we talked. On the drive back, I was enchanted by a stretch of scenery and he pulled a very startling, very illegal, and very impressively executed road maneuver to get back to the spot so we could park…

The best date I’ve ever been on is kind of sad but

I also disagree with the premise of this article on the basis of this utterly awesome article about this film written by Charlie Jane Anders for io9 back in 2010.

I said exactly the same thing (but with more words, and less well) below! There are so many things to love about that casual act of brutal dismemberment review, so I’ll just offer one of the many glittering lines for your delectation:

“The only good takeaway” is objectively false here. Without this absolute flailing trash inferno of a movie, we wouldn’t have Lindy West’s* poetically savage and savagely poetic takedown of it, and frankly, our lives would be all the poorer. Do I revisit this review every so often just to bask in the reflected glow of…

Honestly, I am not sure how a writer at Jezebel was allowed to write a piece about “Sex and the City 2" without mentioning or linking to Lindy West’s iconic review of that movie: https://www.thestranger.com/seattle/burkas-and-birkins/

I thought the “for the children” was a reference to how all of the people are secretly in agony over their “sleeping” kids trapped by the spell.
