All I'm taking from these pictures is that nobody should ever wear that dress.

I am obviously so excited!

For years I wondered why Matt Damon put up with Ben Affleck, who seemed like the ultimate bro, but everything I've heard from him in the last few years has made me rethink this. He seems like a thoughtful, intelligent guy whose movies I still never want to see.

In for $40 because fuck Dan Handler, it's payday, and I really want the tote bag.

Right? The bar is so low. It used to be that taking responsibility for your fuck-ups was literally the least that one could expect from a rational person go messed up. Apologizing is not a "advance directly to forgiveness" pass. It's the starting point in a conversation that could very well still end with "Your…

Clearly I didn't watch enough episodes of season 2. Rectifying that TONIGHT.

I see it.

I didn't get that feeling. I'm pretty sure that it would have been a better strategy for her to approach me, anyway, if that was what was on their mind, since he was an absolute stranger to me and she was a close-ish friend. I think she was genuinely tickled at his weird reaction to me (contextually speaking) and…

I college a couple of my friends and I bought full-length mirrors at the local Target because our rooms' mirrors weren't long enough and nobody wanted to have to visit the communal bathroom in order to assess an outfit. Lo and behold, we somehow bought skinny mirrors. We routinely looked taller and better in them than…

Most days I have my ear buds in, but sometimes, I just want the right to exist without having to take defensive precautions like ear buds or sunglasses. I should be able to sit on a bus, reading a book, without having to worry that turning my head 45 degrees will open me up to unwanted advances. I want to be like,…

Not that I could tell, no. This was even before the serious drinking part of the reception, so if mind-altering substances are to blame, he consumed them out of sight. I saw her tell him to go talk to me, but I will admit that I don't get her motivation, either. That must be one very secure marriage. Or something.

Nothing says romance like giving somebody the creepy crawlies.

I had some guy stare unblinkingly at the side of my head yesterday on the bus home, trying to get me to look at him. I could see him out of the corner of my eye, and never once looked up from my book, but the weight of his expectation was hard to deal with.

My friend's new husband (who I'd met for the first time the night before) came up to me AT THEIR WEDDING RECEPTION and told me that I was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen before and he thought that I was his soul mate. Had we met before (No). He also said that I was the first black woman he'd ever been…

Worse, she won't shut up about that fucking baby.

Sorry, you're right. I gave up on Scandal earlier this year, so I started but didn't make it through the whole third season. That episode where they played Ben six trillion times broke something within me.

Ha! Poor dead Paris Gellar. Simpler times, indeed.

I think you're right. People would still have called the speaker an asshole, but I doubt that the public mockery would have been so virulent. But I found Katherine Heigl annoying since the Roswell years, so I feel okay about my contempt for her. The only interesting thing she's ever done is My Father, the Hero (with…

MY PEOPLES! That was my initial take on Shonda Rhimes shows, but I think that they're getting unwatchable earlier these days. Grey's went to pot in season 3. Private Practice, same. I couldn't even get through the whole second season of Scandal. I didn't make it to the third episode of HTGAWM. It's all just too much…

16/20. I just couldn't figure out that white guy's expressions.
