Mad props to you. I work in local govt. and I know how hard it can be dealing with these self-important assholes day to day. Meeting the rare politician who isn’t ruled by his or her ego and actually cares about doing the right thing is like finding a goose that lays golden eggs.

Back before I was firmly in the “no kids for me, thanks” camp, my biggest fear about getting pregnant was the idea of how big my boobs could potentially get. I’m a 34F, and cannot IMAGINE trying to find bras that would fit, not to mention dealing with boobs that are constantly fluctuating in size. The closest…

The only thing I ever found kinda scary in any of the films from my youth was the Gmork from Neverending Story. The Skeksis from The Dark Crystal were kinda scary, but certainly not nightmare-inducing for me. But I was a weird kid who LOVED all that dark shit-Watership Down was my favorite cartoon as a kid. My parents…

I love that fucking movie. Always have, since I was like 6. It never scared me, I loved how it didn’t pull any punches and was realistic. But I was a weird child.

Bowie will forever be my version of god. Therefore I love you for this.

No, no, no, no, no, NO.

I honestly don’t understand current sneaker fashion. That shoe looks ugly as fuck to me, as do most of the sneakers/running shoes I see now at DSW. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised-I pretty much hate all fashion right now. This cropped paper bag look has got to stop.

Anyone have experience with using a menstrual cup with a tilted uterus? My uterus is tilted back towards my spine (thanks for passing that down, mom), and I sometimes have issues getting my Skoon cup to properly “attach” itself. Sometimes it works just fine, other times it just won’t happen (don’t know if maybe this…

YAAASSS. Those two are so good. Though I prefer Bowie’s Storytellers performance of “Word on a Wing,” I think it’s more moving.

Agreed. I felt pretty gutted the first few days of this week, but I think listening to his music has helped me a lot, even though at times it hurt. I listened to Blackstar a few times last Friday, but listening to it on Monday was so different. It was like “oh god, that’s what he mean’t by this.” I just feel so…

I have a feeling it would be vastly different than what the rednecks I’m surrounded by envision (for one thing, I doubt I’ll see Jesus there offering his input). Though from what I’ve read that summer was brutal, and I’d hate to be covered in all that wool in stifling summer temps with no AC.

My “stranded on a deserted island” album. One of my favorite songs is “Eight Line Poem.” I have no idea what that song could possibly be about, but it doesn’t matter at all.

Glad I’m not the only one this happens to.

I fell in love with Bon Iver while my husband and I were staying in a cabin in the woods for our anniversary. He had randomly loaded one of his albums onto my iPod. It was fall, kinda rainy that week, and we just sat in the hot tub on the deck watching leaves fall in the woods while listening to Bon Iver. So perfect.

I love the Thin White Duke as well... I know it wasn’t a great period for Bowie on a personal level, but that character was so fucking suave.

I always remember envying the guy in that scene... like, who gets to just walk up to David Bowie and just kiss him repeatedly?!

Bowie has always been in my life (thanks mom and dad), and I’m a child of the 80s so Labyrinth had a big impression on me. I love the songs off that soundtrack so damn much I special ordered it through a record store (ah, back before the internet). I admit I didn’t get heavily into Bowie until I was about 15, and…

All great choices. I got fired once for applying for a job at a rival company, and on the drive home I kept hearing Bowie’s voice in my head. “I’m home! Lost my job!”

I think I’m one of the few people on here that agrees with you on The Revenant. I love very gritty, realistic westerns (I know it wasn’t technically a western, but it had a lot of the same themes), and I thought it was a terrific movie. Leo and Tom Hardy were both so good, but to be honest if I had to pick, it would…

Oh yeah, totally worth it. The hubs and I don’t use the music/TV aspect that much either, but damn is the fast shipping nice. Great for those “shit, my nephew’s birthday is in three days” scenarios. I definitely think it’s paid for itself.
