FINALLY. The number of times I went, "Okay, it says gluten-free, and there's nothing on the label that should make it not gluten-free" and then gotten a blinding headache, fatigue, and stomach cramps is probably in the dozens. It hurts like hell, and I have been known to gripe loudly in the middle of the supermarket…

We kept the wedding to immediate family-only because my family is huge, and I didn't want to have to invite 100 first cousins I barely know. We gave everyone ample notice to book rooms at a group rate, and 48 hours before the reservations had to be in, I got a call demanding that I get the hotel to push out the…

And I am again struck by how much I miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

I'm not 100% sure what's collected, but here's the link to comic vine that has her appearances listed. And I completely forgot she got fridged during an event. Crap. But she really is great! http://www.comicvine.com/big-barda/4005…

Barda is my current favorite. She ran a special ops group of all-female soliders known as the Female Furies when she lived on Apokolips, where she was born and raised. She then went to Earth to track down Scott Free (Mr. Miracle), who had escaped their planet, and she finds she does not want to return to Apokolips,…

I believe Netflix is tackling at least part of that storyline in their Jessica Jones limited that's going to fit with the Iron Fist, Power Man, and Daredevil limiteds they're also doing.

The current Ms. Marvel comic is about a young woman who was inspired by Carol Danvers to become a superhero. Carol was, of course, inspired by the original (male) Captain Marvel, but it's a start. Also, in Runaways, they're all first generation street-level superheroes who get their powers from their evil parents, but…

That sound amazing. Might I suggest the Spider-Man Noir mini where she is not quite that badass but is a pro-socialist social reformer in 1930s New York?

From the Latin, meaning "snake oil."

I think it speaks to how badly this thing was organized that I'm pretty active on tumblr and involved in a couple of these fandoms and literally heard NOTHING about it until it all went to shit.

He has a tumblr, so I guess they thought since he has a tumblr, he would understand their pain at being at a badly organized hot mess and somehow magically make it better.

I need this immediately. I need it so much. And then I need Rifftrax to get hold of it.

Well, this news just drastically improved my week.

I need the second version. I need it so much.

I feel like that says everything you need to know about the interviewer. Like, why is it so important she doesn't know the fake bands names? Why would it be important for her to know actual bands you know? It feels like "makes me like her" really means "She validated how clever I think I am."

Thank you for putting quotes around "selfish" because I've gotten that one so many times. "Oh, you're just being selfish!" "Yup!" [crickets] [more crickets] Because I'm supposed to feel bad to know that I'd rather spend my time on me than on a child? There's also the variation of "I'm glad you're not having kids!" "Me…

Pho is the nectar of the gods and how dare you. Also, I am impressed you don't consider it a meal because I can't find a single place that will serve less than 32 ounces at a time, so it's always a meal for me.

I...I might need to eat that. Or at least buy a cheesecake, cut it in half, cover it in salty junk food and chocolate sauce and then eat THAT.

"Why didn't you answer whore" is the perfect encapsulation of dudes who expect to get their dick touched and think not getting it touched makes a woman easy.

I noticed ModCloth was doing a lot of plus sizes the last time I visited, and I got super-excited for friends who I know will look great in their clothes. And then I felt bummed because I was excited because, wow, what's that say about the state of it all? Then, I lusted after shoes for an hour and felt better.
