Have you seen the Japanese game show “Slippery Stairs”? A bunch of greased-up people try to climb a big staircase.
There’s also the matter of what do friendship and loyalty mean today. Anything? Of course she’s going to back him, that’s what friends are supposed to do, even if it’s difficult. That’s how you know they’re real friends.
I think this is a little different. Lena knew that guy for 4 years (ish) Diane has know Woody for 40. I can imagine that its hard to accept that someone you’ve known for decades isn’t who you thought he was. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. Seems like Diane is holding tight to her delusion.
She dated him, he directed her in career defining roles, she loves him. Ergo she has a massive blind spot regarding him.
Oh shut the fuck up with that “women of a certain age” bullshit.
Exactly. It’s a little tone-deaf to tell people “going out alone is so FREEING” when you can summon a house-party with a single tweet. People who are actually lonely day-to-day don’t experience the same level of exhilaration.
Less GOOP and less GOP in 2018.
I mean, yeah, my cancer was a “virus + toxins = cancer” thing. The virus was HPV and the toxins here the little bastard cells the virus released that morphed into cancer. Know what got rid of it? Actual medical treatment. Fucking science, goddammit.
I have always loathed GP and GOOP and then recently I realized I’ve totally bought into the same wellness trends, just from different brands and that made me sad. Sad that health is being turned into anti-aging, sad that wellness is becoming a luxury item and sad that I am so easily am duped by it the same way I was…
I feel super weird about going out to a restaurant alone. If I am eating alone, I will just get take out. Bonus: the beer is cheaper if I eat at home.

That enjoyment level completely depends on the person. Lots of folks, even though happily partnered and friended, still prefer to do those things solo—in fact, I wish we’d reinforce this more so people will stop complaining about having to do stuff with their loved ones that they don’t enjoy.
Love solo travelling. I went to Miami Beach last year, did a food walking tour and a boat tour and talked to some nice people during those, but mostly kept to myself with my book, my music and my beach towel. It was heaven.
I literally keep a book in my car at all times for those moments when I want to grab a meal by myself. Even if you don’t read the book, it doesn’t give off the same “midday alcoholic” vibe as staring into your drink.
I eat solo meals all the time. Day off and I want tacos? I walk on down to the local taco place and set up shop at the bar and have my three tacos and a marg. Since doing that, I’ve made friends with a couple of the bartenders there and we sometimes go to concerts and whatnot.
Eat at the bar - that’s what it’s for.
Worked off site for a few months which meant many dinners alone. Perfectly enjoyable. But almost no one approached this slightly above average looking person to talk in that time. Maybe it was the location. Maybe I was too pathetic and repulsive (I did eat expensed for 2+months with no kitchen of my own). Am not…
