I wonder how rabid the get-out-and-vote-people would continue to be with me if they knew I just write in the members of the Scooby gang or Fleetwood Mac, then vote a blanket no on all measures unless I happen to feel a strong yes.* I'm really depressed my attempt to get the Mystery Machine onto the supreme court…

I was found wanting this morning for giving him kibble instead of canned food.

By age 9 I looked anywhere from 15 to early 20s, depending on who you asked. It caused practical issues as well as a great deal of emotional anxiety. I couldn't order off the kids' menu or pay kids' price for admission to anything without it becoming a thing. And every time it happened I got more anxious about it.…

J. Crew?

If I hadn't given up already and stopped dating, I would make this for every guy I went out with just to fuck up the average.

I mean this in this nicest way, but I love when someone says "I don't exercise/work out, I engage in such and such physical activity outside the context of a gym/group fitness class." Hate to break it to you but... . ;)

Between Christmas swallowing Thanksgiving, the news about Black Friday lines and fights (I'd chew tinfoil before I'd participate myself), and not being able to say Merry Christmas OR Happy Holidays without someone thinking I'm trying to make some sort of Political Statement TM, I've really fucking had it with the…

After playing Animal until it figuratively wore out, I rediscovered it again just this weekend. This story makes me sad.

Pegg's facial expression here is possibly my favorite part of that movie. And it's one of my all time favorite movies.

I'm gonna see ads no matter what. Can't escape them. May as well see ads for stuff I actually use.

I spent a while diligently telling Hulu which ads were and weren't relevant to me. I was quite proud of it the day it ran in this order an ad for hair dye, then liquor, then antihistamines. Well done, Hulu.

My second or third grade classroom had two books where the words were all spelled phonetically. One of them was set in China or Japan.

Our dopey setter who walked up to everyone and licked their hands was aggressive once in her life: when a guy stood in the sidewalk blocking our path and looked at me creepy. Dogs know.

How well will I dial 911?

I have made these and my version is fantastic. I season ground pork, wrap it around hard boiled eggs, and roast them in the oven (I skip the traditional bread crumb coating.) They're especially good cold, sliced and served over green salad.

No mead? What's the point of going to a Ren Faire if you don't drink mead?

I realized recently that I've never seen a single episode of any of her shows. It wasn't by design, but now that I've noticed the trend I feel obligated to maintain it.

I read the details and wondered if assault wasn't always his intent and whether this would have happened regardless of her reaction.

Don't have kids and may be talking out my ass, but I have parents and observational skills. I believe that parents who are decent people who treat others with courtesy and respect usually instill that behavior into their kids via demonstration and probably don't need to go out of their way to proactively teach it.

No one talks about that. My agent: woman. My editor: woman. My publicist: woman... . That discussion doesn't really come up when it's the other way around.
