Lettuce is trash anyway. It just gets in the way of the food I actually want to eat.

Jill Scott can always be counted on to be on the wrong side of just about every argument I hear her make. Keep on keeping on, Jill.

Years of riding in cabs means that I automatically get into the back seat. Also, commuting is when I get my best reading done. I'll greet my driver, because I'm not rude, but I don't usually want to chat.

The caveat is that gossip and trash talking are the fuel on which some offices run, and not being a part of that can be a huge hindrance to you, both personally and professionally. I lasted seven months in a job like this, and because I didn't participate in the daily slanderfests that happened whenever two or more…

Also, planning a wedding without knowing your groom makes me think that you're looking for a [YOUR NAME HERE] life, which seems kind of weird. Wedding should be personal to the people involved. Maybe your dude is going to be like, "Just tell me when to show up and where," and maybe he's going to want to have more…

I think that this is a somewhat strange waste of time and brainpower, but I'm sure that there are people who feel that way about my chosen pastimes. I have a problem with the NYT's wink wink treatment of this, though. I can't imagine them giving the same treatment to a predominantly male hobby.

It's because, all jokes about parental basement dwelling aside, it's easy to forget that trolls like these are usually people who have relatives. Even the toughest Internet Tough Guy often has a relative who would be disappointed to learn of this type of behavior and who would hold him accountable for his actions. You…

Dearauthor.com and smartbitchestrashybooks.com have good reviews and recommendations of romance novels. I find a lot of good reading material based on their content.

Although I think Tim Tebow is a fundamentalist idiot, I suspect that the Duggars' Quiverfull bullshit would be too crazy even for him.

Okay, so who called the number attributed in the commercial to Kristen Bell?

It made me reassess her awesomeness. She won me back during the Veronica Mars movie promo tour, but I still don't get how the sloth thing is supposed to be charming. You are a grown ass woman crying over a rodent. Pull it together, Bell.

Extremely selective hearing.

Yes, I hated the epilogue to Mockingjay, and really thought that Katniss should have found some other person who wasn't mentioned anywhere in the book to be with, because both Peeta and Gale were tainted for me. Peeta was boring as shit, and Gale was quite possibly responsible for the worst event in Katniss's already…

I only drink soda when I'm out, so it's a bit of a treat for myself.

Erm, refills. Less outrage, more editing, self.

Now I'm kind of picturing her sliding like that Prince gif.

I do not truck with restaurants that charge $3.50 for a soda and then don't have unlimited retails. Fuck. All. That.

This is how I look after taking a shower at the gym, because their towels are really too small to cover me with any success.

Everybody's got their something.
