I was prepared to hate this based on the headline (because I do find it useful to understand what it means for me to be an introvert but for the niece who lives with me to be an extrovert, and how that means we navigate our relationship with each other), but it’s pretty spot on. Well done!

Yes. This. Of course people are going to try to get a documentarian or journalist to omit things that are embarrassing to them. It happened to me all the time when I was a newspaper reporter (including public officials saying DURING A TELEVISED PUBLIC MEETING “Don’t put that in your article.”). It’s the ethical duty

She’s actually Shia Labeouf.

Unfortunately, the difference is that Meyer’s manuscript was unfinished when it leaked, and the leak soured her on completing it (good grief, I know too much about this). I suspect there’s no stopping this one.

TOMMY CARCETTI.

And the villain in the classic Doctor Who episode City of Death, co-written by Douglas Adams.

I will always associate him with The Golden Child.

I have to hide my wristband every time I put my Flex on the charger, because my 11-month-old cat will take off with it every. single. time. if I let her.

I have read books by a couple of Swedish authors other than Larsson, and in each of them characters ate cheese sandwiches.

OMG, why do people in Swedish books eat so many cheese sandwiches?

My experience with the books is that they started off really slowly, but once the story finally took off, I couldn't put them down. However, I think each of them easily could have been 200 pages shorter.

I bought a FitBit because of the sleep tracking function. I knew I wasn't getting enough rest and suspected that sleep apnea (for which I have an antiquated CPAP machine) had worsened. The FitBit confirmed that indeed I am very restless during the night, without necessarily realizing it. So I took that data to a

Does anyone else think this looks like Natalie Portman?

My biggest complaint about the Dragon Age series has always been that the epilogue of Origins completely fails to tell me WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DOG.

If someone is focused on their laptop or a book, or they're having a conversation with someone else, then read those as signals that approaching them would be intrusive. If you've been exchanging glances for 20 minutes, it's probably OK to go say hi and see what happens.

I'm 40 and overweight and don't wear makeup often, so it doesn't tend to happen to me. However, my niece is 21 and very attractive, and EVERY SINGLE TIME we go out someplace in public, some guy hits on her. It happens at the laundromat, at the drug store, at the coffee shop, in line at the grocery store, sitting

Whoops. I just looked him up on imdb and MI-5 was five years ago. I also keep forgetting that he was Brutus on Rome before that, and of course Edmure Tully on Game of Thrones.

Team Tobias Menzies all the way. I've liked him since he played an impossibly young cabinet minister about 10 years ago on MI-5/Spooks.

I have never watched Everwood or Parks & Rec. Apparently I have been robbing myself of Chris Pratt all these years.

Having just done a five-day juicing thing, I sympathized with this SO MUCH. Also, I laughed. A lot. So, thank you.
