Northern AB accents also have those 'o' sounds but I've yet to encounter them anywhere else in the country.

I guess this, probably more than any sort of psychological projection. His stoner mumblecore was a gateway into what could've been a really interesting career, but has instead devolved into needlessly sillier and sillier nonsense every time.

The poet's a rising star, so far as I can tell, and while their work had really strong, quotable moments, it also read as annoying and gimmicky. I find a lot of poetry these days involves pop culture references/poet references to seem clever and it bugs me because it seems lazy.

Man, Corner Gas really was Next Level at making Canadian jokes.

I liked Chasing Amy and I always feel like I should apologize when I mention it. I know it's bad and why. I'm sorry!

I can't decide if this is as bad or worse than all of the Jaydens, Caidens, Shiannes and Addisons…

I saw it in the theatre when it came out, and I was like, 14? I enjoyed it, but it has absolutely zero re-watch value; I don't think I've ever made it all the way through subsequent attempts

Corner Gas is so wholesome and inoffensive, though!

I discovered a poet whose work pissed me off so much that I was like "THAT'S IT I NEED TO WRITE THIS CHAPBOOK" but I haven't written any poems since, so we'll see how that goes.

I've been back to my yoga and tai chi routine! It feels so good! Though I definitely temporarily fucked up my back trying a new asana after a whole summer of slacking. Why would I do that?

Is Stranger Things the only cultural thing that happened this year or?

I was going to post a comment about how she wasn't really all that different from other people I've met and known who maybe were not terribly self-aware and a bit overpraised for their work but then I remembered my poetry workshop nemesis, who is exactly that kind of person, and realized I still totally feel angry…

My eyes are tearing up from trying not to laugh aloud at work

I expected it to be like Reality Bites and it more or less was.

His was the only character that refused to be whimsical and was therefore the only one that was tolerable.

And now I have to go listen to Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain", followed by the rest of Rumours, because of who I am as a person.

I have fond memories of drunkenly watching this (on more than one occasion, even) with my husband when we were dating.

1. Maybe
2. Short answer: Yes, with an “if”, long answer: No, with a “but”.

I'm ready to join Starfleet and gtf off this planet any time now.

I think you're safe if you just don't make racist "jokes" in the first place, y'know?
