I would wager that many a boy bands have endured some degree of gay rumoring because trolls don't know how to look at groups of (typically) young male singers who are (stereotypically) attractive and who sing songs that (many times) are pop-based, "oooh gurl" without going, "...Yeah, they're compensating for liking…

Seriously. I often wonder about celebrities and their friendships with non-celebrities over time—how it must be difficult (especially depending on one's level of celebredom) to just hang out and have fun with people who aren't in the spotlight, all while being photographed/stalked. I could see it getting annoying. But…

I'll jump on your bandwagon. It was really bizarre to watch Britney's life unfold from pop star princess to wth-is-she-going-to-do-now, and I'm glad she seems happier with her kids and more stable than previous years. I was all about Dawson's Creek, so it was also really bizarre to watch Katie blow up in such an…

Good point. I think I took to it better, in part, because I recognized it shared its character design/artistic direction with Anastasia, which I totally loved as a kid. Though watching some of the CGI today gives me a bit of motion sickness.

One of the things I actually like about the writing this season is that characters seem more likely to drop snarky meta-moments of owning how messed up a place Bon Temps is. Sookie still annoys me, but I'm actually liking her more now that she's been exposed to (1) people telling her how much her meddling mucks up…

He was freaking out so much, it was understandably adorable. Like those videos people post on YouTube of their dogs whimpering in cars, which humans think is cute, but the dogs are pretty much going, "Holy shitballs, what the hell is happening? I don't...I can't understand!"

We didn't see Meloni burst into a puddle of sticky goo. We did see that vamp sucking on Hoyt earlier in the ep burst into a puddle of sticky goo. I think that's a foreshadowing moment of, "HEY, REMEMBER KIDS, vamps liquify when they die!" Since Meloni was just turning grey and veiny, I think he's not dead-dead.…

I'm wondering about this since he didn't turn into a literal goo puddle upon being staked. And yet, earlier in the ep, we see the male vamp sucking on Hoyt in the alleyway turn into goo puddle. I'm wondering if that was a foreshadowing "Don't forget—a vamp's dead when it looks like runny strawberry preserves!" to say…

Their bloopers are my go-tos on YouTube when I need a pick-me-up. They're such ridiculously silly and fun actors, I would totally love to see them at a (smaller/more intimate) convention and enjoy them being silly and fun with their fans.

I actually don't dislike this movie! Maybe it was just released ahead of its time/at the wrong time and could've done better with the right kids watching.

I love that someone dressed up as Nala. Nala always gets shortchanged considering she's an animal and all, but she did end up becoming Queen. So it works. ...Actually, technically speaking, wouldn't she have possibly been princess anyways because we never see any other male lions in Mufasa's pride; so it's almost as…

I'm traveling to Europe in early September, and my connecting flight is in London. I'm glad the Olympics will be over by then b/c I can only imagine the insanity of the airport + security + number of bodies everywhere...

Is it just me, or is the 3:13 mash up is super awesome? The harmonizing, THE HARMONIZING!!

At the beach (where it keeps kinda raining so we keep going in and out and in and out). Boyfriend's napping on the bed. I'm trying to compose a 250-300 word abstract to submit for a call for articles. I've chosen the piece for my close reading; struggling to figure out the angle I want to analyze. Drinking tequilla…

This is good to know. I was wondering if the Con has any kid-friendly sections and, if not, why not? I totally understand how con-goers don't want to trip over/be butted with/be run over/be blockaded by stroller-movers. And I'd imagine this could probably be said for both people with and without kids. I'm one of the…

I was there and somehow managed to avoid stroller frustrations. But that's probably b/c my friend and I were too caught up in the "holy crap, there's no cell reception, how are we gonna find our other friends coming from the blue line?!" frustration/concern.

Pizza rolls and bagel bites are now on my grocery list since I needed to go tomorrow anyways. But now I want them now. *stamps angry foot at work, office mates confused by sound*

You know, I'm not the biggest Gervais fan. Nor am I the biggest Elmo fan. But this video actually made me like Elmo. ...I also still need to watch the documentary on "Being Elmo" on Netflix and keep putting it off.

So then she'd be part vampire, part shifter? Could she only shift into vampire-related creatures like...well, I guess vampire bats? Or things with fangs?

I'm under the impression that shifters can only transform into animals they've come into contact with. ...I don't know if that means touching them (how do you end up touching random birds IRL?) but your comment made me think. Couldn't a trip to the zoo square this away? "Oh hey, I've come into contact with a lion. Now…
