I own a copy of the book! For the life of me, I can't remember how I acquired it, though. I don't think it's something I bought for myself when I was a teen. I'm also not sure if it's something my mom would've thought to buy me, simply because I don't know if my mom would've known it was a book that existed. ...Maybe…

Ooo! Sending this link to myself so I don't forget. Thanks!

I had a similar-to-you, sort-of-unrelated-to-the-OP question: When people win the lottery, is there an option or ability to receive your money without your identity being given to the public through news pegs? I barely pay attention to when people win lotto tickets, so I don't know what the process is for turning in…

General Kinja Question: How do you report individuals posting really inappropriate content? When I click on the downward-facing arrow in a person's post box, I don't see any options other than "Follow..." and "Share..." Is it a matter of emailing one of the writers?

Whoops, the coffee hadn't kicked in while I was typing—yes, I meant non-perishable goods. Yikes. I live in the DC/MD/VA area, so yeah, I'm usually pretty good about restocking certain types of supplies when seasons shift. So heading into fall triggers my "Do we have kleenex and medicine/pills for the next wave of…

World War Z (the book moreso than the movie) and Contagion are running around in my head right now because I've realized I am actually feeling anxiety about this Ebola situation in a way I haven't felt anxiety about other epidemics/pandemics in recent years. A number of zombie narratives have used the real-world risks…

Holy Hell, I have seen Slither but not in a while. I completely forget he's one of the main characters in that movie!

He was delightful. I've missed him since The Walking Dead. Though his teeth were more transfixing than I was expecting...

I was disappointed by Gamora, which I think is partially due to marketing making me think that she would be this really bad ass, tough assassin. I was expecting a more strategic and deadly personality, like the recent Emily Blunt a la Edge of Tomorrow or Gina Torres a la Firefly/most things Gina Torres is ever in,…

MILD SPOILERS: I'm surprised by how much I really enjoyed Rocket. I have a weirdly nitpicky spot in my heart for anthropomorphic animals in narratives as a product of watching a shit ton of Disney/Don Bluth movies as a kid; and I have a love-hate relationship for Bradley Cooper casting moments. But man. I really,…

I didn't know this was a thing that exists. I will now keep my eyes open for other occasions that this is used so I know that I may need to employ a side eye.

Obligatory "I've found Waldo" comment.

E...gads...That is some glorious movement right there.

Man. I introduced Lucy Pearl to a car full of black and white girl friends in high school on the way to the mall (I was driving, so my car, my jams). Convinced two of them to buy the album. I really wanted them to do another record. Damnit, Lucy Pearl. DAMNIT.

Similar to what MyOcean said below: When I feel threatened, I do what I can to capture footage of the person/vehicle and I send that to my brother or boyfriend. I try to be as covert about it so the person isn't aware I'm doing it to avoid inciting further confrontational behavior, but sometimes it might not be…

This is a personal opinion, but I think munting is WAY WORSE than knotting. WAY. WORSE. I've never heard of either term until minutes ago, and knotting requires my mind to imagine scenarios I'd never thought about in that particular order/connection, but hey, I can reconcile that some people are into that and you know…

I haven't read the source material before, but looking at these images, those wisps of hair are actually what make me shirk/cringe in looking at this sequence. The movie's interpretation of what her body looks like without her head is too clean-cut and void of texture of substance or weight (not to mention blood). At…

Side note: I love that the wall is decorated like Mario. That's a cute touch.

Union was in Bad Boys 2 as Martin Lawrence's character's sister who was secretly dating Will Smith's Mike Lowry. She was technically FBI or CIA (I'll be honest, I haven't seen the flick in yeaaaars) going undercover using her hot femaleness to get close to the major villain. But that means she spent most of her time…

...Is he about to strip? Because that's what the image and the title are indicating to me, like some Magic Mike attempts. And I'm not sure how I feel about that.
