I've never heard anything against makeup out of the Catholic Church. I had a pretty devout, shame based Catholic upbringing so if it was a sin I damn sure would have heard about it.

I read the tagline about Robert Mitchum seducing a young single mother, and my mind went straight to Night of The Hunter.

I dunno. That sounds 100% plausible and if he knew it was loaded, acting like he did is pretty understandable.

I feel like I can hear the contempt of the women singing the jingle.

I had the same thought and edited. You're absolutely right - and for the record I in no way believe that it's only 12. Nor do I believe that it's only 21.

According to this article, 12 of the first 13 were anonymous, and some of the women who are now coming out publicly may have been among those 12.* But by my count it's 12 anonymous and 9 public.

My response every time I hear "But she was so great in Mean Girls" is "No, Tina Fey's script was so great in Mean Girls".

For a hot second I thought that was Emma Watson.

I liked Heart Shaped Box, but I really enjoyed Horns.

House of Leaves is the only book that has actually managed to give me nightmares.

Conversely, I had to use my citrus zester to grate cheese last week and it was kind of a pain in the ass.

My Corn Stripper. I only use it maybe 3 times a year, but it's by far my favorite kitchen gadget.

The Shining Girls is my favorite of hers so far.

Hmmm... I really didn't like Boneshaker at all, but this sounds pretty good.

Yup. Volume 4 releases in early December. And then I have to decide whether or not I'm a single-issue comics kinda gal.

I read Saga 1 in about an hour and spent the next 3 days stressing about when volumes 2 and 3 would arrive on my doorstep. It's a fantastic series.

I like to stock up on the horror novels for October. In the "to-read" stack so far:

I just want to reiterate the yellow ribbon idea. I see it making the rounds on Facebook every few months, so more and more people are starting to know what it means.

Ya know, Twilight actually has some pretty interesting characters and plot ideas.

I pretty clearly remember when the Sacajawea coins came out, and there was a lot of pushback about the utility of the dollar coin in general, but I don't remember hearing any controversy over who was actually on the coin.
