I'm convinced that Columbia House is how everyone ended up with that Wallflowers album. No one I know remembers buying it, but everyone had it.

Wait…what? Is this what The Offspring does now? My high school boyfriend must be so disappointed.

Yeah, but as a half-Native woman who passes for white, it's just like…it can be done. We exist.

Just finished Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chogyam Trungpa for nonfiction. Day job's been crazy, as have my editing projects, so I've been takin' it easy with YA fiction and recently read Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake and American Girls by Alison Umminger.

Holy macaroni, I forgot about The Gadjits!

I had a rough day and resolved to spend the night trying not to be cranky while binge-watching something on Netflix. This was such perfect timing!

Yeah, I feel like if she was more contrite - like "Yeah, it's fucked up, but I love the friend that gave it to me, but it's probably shitty to have at all, right?" it might have worked better. I mean, it'd still be a deal breaker if I'd personally been in that situation, but, y'know, in general.

This episode made me wistful for my Italian New Wave cinema class and made me wish I'd done better at my Italian language class and also that I could move to Italy.

I like the idea that Jughead might have been so miserable less because he was an artsy outsider and more 'cause he had to hang out with a bunch of rich kids all the time.

Failing that, I'd be fine with Grey Gardens.

Yay! More Reggie in Season 2!

I feel like such a pretentious jerk saying so but hot damn, the first list is comprised of such better bands than the second.

She can pick up where Gap left off with its "Manifest Destiny" T-shirts in 2012.

It would be so nice if it was really an embedded code telling the reader to put this garbage down and read Toni Morrison instead but a) I doubt it, and b) it still doesn't make this less egregious.

I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl in '05 and it was the best show I've ever been to, full stop.

Well, that's good! Best of luck with the planning and congrats!

My hubs is Catholic and at the time we married I was a Buddhist; neither of us wanted to have to sit through Catholic marriage classes so that was out. The Unitarian Universalist church directed me to a lovely Justice of the Peace who was also a Religious Studies professor. We read Rumi and Khalil Gibran in the…

I don't know why I'm surprised that The Big Bang Theory is still on, but I am. Are they renewed for a trillion more seasons or is it ending relatively soon?
