In an ideal world he didn’t say ‘fucken’ but ‘fargin’ instead.

Ohhh hell yeah Delia’s decor! Sparkly beaded curtains, clear plastic inflatable armchairs and furry throw pillows were in 90% of all girls’ bedrooms for a while there. I’m pretty sure I still have one of those little stuffed animals with a picture holder in its belly, featuring a clipping from YM of Ewan McGregor.

Hmm, okay, I can understand that. Still, they always make the hair in front look weird and did that horrible slow sliding creep that felt like Satan giving you a scalp massage (I shudder just thinking about it).

Ohhh it was DEFINITELY a thing, and I pray it doesn’t come back but I fear the seeds of a revival have already been sown with that ‘cold shoulder’ style coming back (from there it’s a very short jump to a higher neckline and no sleeves whatsoever). They should stay dead, along with accordion headbands, clogs and…

I like my family’s approach: digital pics for the here-and-now (ease of sharing, take a million so you’re sure to get the best of everything, convenient) then print an album for the holidays (hard copy that survives even when digital media fails, cherry- pick the best, easily archived/dated). This way you can send &…

BUT WHAT’S IN THE BASEMENT?!!!?!

You know it’s bad when even I of all people think it’s a bit much.

I love you and I love your love of Asano. If it’s wrong to be hot for him in Ichi the Killer (which it totally is, SO wrong, that character is seriously messed up) I don’t care and I’m not about to stop. Shiny pants and masochism really amplify his sex appeal IMHO.

I was narrowly averted from getting into a physical altercation with Kate Moss once (you expect her to be horrible, yes, but she exceeds expectations and picked a fight she couldn’t possibly have finished on her own).

The border collie was my pick for 2nd place! I think had the pomeranian in 3rd just for the dopey face and all the floof. It was a very therapeutic event this year, it was really nice to take my mind off everything and just giggle over pups for a while.

Luckily Bird Day is one holiday when I’m not obligated to Do Something, since between my and my SO’s families we have 6 birthdays in December plus our anniversary. That’s in addition to Christmas and New Year/s. The week of the 20th to the 27th alone includes the birthdays of me, the spouse and my mother (and SO’s…

Her voice was truly a gift to all of us, and the world is a little bit darker without it. She will be sorely missed.

I get a decently creepy vibe from the footage but honestly the pursuer(s) need some major work. As it is at the moment they look ridiculous. Personally, I find it much scarier when you can’t see at all who’s chasing you, and right now there’s too much visibility; a shitbox clown car packed with Sontarans in suits is…

I feel a little weird, because apparently everybody else feels weird buying condoms but I never got that feeling. Dang, I once had people in line applaud and cheer my purchase and I didn’t mind (I actually curtsied and blew kisses). Isn’t it something to be proud of, or otherwise just mundane?

Bubble Bobble is a goddamn treasure. The first game I looked for when the NES Classic was announced, and the ONLY game that I (toddler girl), my older brother (teenager) and mom (middle aged, only knew Pac Man) ever played together. Nearly 30 years later, we still remember fondly those halcyon days spent poppin’…

I’ve been literally crumpled on my hands & knees, alternating between dry heaves and ugly sobbing. My rare moments of lucidity are about leaving the country (for, most likely, my home in Morocco, as some of you may know) or organizing a (possibly violent [jk but not really]) uprising. Everybody says i should just…

Trust, commenting on this and related topics across various sites has sadly shown me that the right wing conservatives and left wing liberals are depressingly in sync sometimes. The right plugs their ears and tells me to ‘headbutt a carpet’ while the left just insists I’m an apologist and they know what’s best.…

Thanks for the heads-up, I appreciate it. There does seem to be an unfortunate history of poorly-written wrong-headed responses, though I try not to judge someone on anything other than what they’ve written to me directly.

I’m sorry that my life experience, and that of the countless Moroccan women I’m related to/ friends with/ have worked with/ etc, doesn’t align neatly with the ‘several accounts’ you’ve read. I’m not saying those accounts are untrue, (which ones, BTW? curious) just that they’re not necessarily representative of an…

Voter turnout in general is usually pretty low, particularly younger people. There’s a sense of disillusionment and disappointment in the political system because nothing seems to be moving forward and accomplishing anything other than minor improvements to social programs. Lots of young people actually boycott the…
