Aww, my cat's been on two multi-hour road trips and he was fine as long as we didn't keep him in the front seat in his carrier. After a while he climbed on top of a suitcase and settled in to watch the road.

He's like Eastbound and Down personified.
Jezebel should be paying YOU to write the articles. Seriously, can our ladybrains not handle a nuanced issue any more?
but....but pageviews!
I think it really depends what the culture is like where you live - in a European city with a lot of outdoor cafes, I'm totally comfortable sitting alone with a book and a coffee or meal and watching people go by. In New York, I feel highly self-conscious unless I'm walking and eating like I've got somewhere really…
I would steal the dogs out of her yard and tell her they escaped. "What? They're just ANIMALS, remember?"
In college, my chemistry major friend put together his own stovetop distiller to make grappa out of Carlo Rossi. These kids are just a step (and an explosion) away from running their own meth lab.
Yes! What's with all the creepy people sex? And ALWAYS doggy style! Between that and its complete lack of humor I gave up on the show after three episodes.
How do you make friends at the gym? I'm honestly trying to figure this out - do I have to hang out in the weight room with the guys or something?
Aww! It's amazing the transformation an animal can make with the right environment and people around. When I got my cat a year and a half ago, he wouldn't leave his crate and would run if you picked up a broom or walked toward him wearing shoes. Now he's the friendliest, happiest little man in the world!
If you like short stories, PRI's Selected Shorts and the New Yorker podcast are both free and terrific. Selected Shorts has professional actors reading and the New Yorker has an author pick one of their favorite short stories from the New Yorker and they discuss it after the reading.
What are you trying to memorize? When I took Italian last year for my language requirement I used this little tool: [ankisrs.net] Anki lets you make your own flashcards or use ones other people have made, and when you quiz yourself it asks you how difficult each one was to answer. Based on difficulty, it then decides…
And yet Max has such a perfect midwestern accent!
My husband :/
heehee! If you walk into a store and the club music hits you like a ton of bricks, you know you are NOT their demographic!
I'm almost 27, and definitely remember trying to wear a lot of baby tees and being SO UNCOMFORTABLE and self-conscious! WHY was it so fashionable to show your love-handles area??
Hahaha! So many glittery tops! And airbrushed jeans (at least in the 90s)!
It feels weird, like not going to your prom - did we miss out on something?
Seconded! You have a great perspective on this.
My hips aged me out of teen brands like Aeropostale by about 15. I was shopping only in misses by 17. Nothing hotter than mom jeans in high school.
