It goes downhill in a few seasons (so few shows don't, right?), but TVD was a really well structured and compellingly written show for awhile! Haters be damned!

I was gonna say - does James have an EXTREMELY HOT TWIN that I need to know about?!

I feel like no matter how old I get, a part of me will always be the chubby kid sitting miserably on the exam table, watching in humiliation as the doctor pulled out the height/weight percentile chart to walk my mother through exactly how fat I was compared to all the other kids.

Was it that one on third near Union Square? Because those bastards have dashed my bathroom dreams multiple times. I think it's so so teeny (there's some law about # of chair minimum) they aren't required to offer a bathroom to patrons.

It probably goes beyond just skin, right? Going back thousands of years into mythology, white/light has generally equaled goodness, purity, God, heavens, happiness, etc. Black/dark has generally equaled evil, impurity, death, hell, whatever, etc. Maybe it all just permeated so much into society that it expanded to…

Almost everyone I know with kids in NYC falls into a few categories: a) someone (mom or dad) quit the job to stay home, b) VERY specific job circumstances give them free rent, c) family money and hired a nanny.

I think there are obnoxious parents and poorly raised children everywhere. Regionally I haven't seen a difference.

I can tell you know a lot of people who actually live in NYC.

If you want, you can dislike them because Brady was kinda-probably-obviously cheating on Bridget Moynihan with Gisele? Bridget and Brady's son was born August 2007, and he started dating Gisele in December 2006, sooo....you do the math.

David O. Russell also directed The Fighter. She was thanking him for casting her in that, which started their working relationship and resulted in him casting her in American Hustle.

I think maybe because before The Fighter, she was best known for playing a princess in Enchanted?

That was definitely the poorest planned seating chart since my cousin's wedding where my racist great aunt was seated next to someone's date of color. HEYO!

To be fair, Steven R. McQueen is actually the grandson of that "original" famous Steve McQueen.

I remember feeling this way as a kid too - that I hated adults felt they just had the right to touch me or move me somewhere. (Not referring sexual touching.)

My family has NEVER done this, so when I first saw other families doing it as a kid, I was extreeemely weirded out. But I got used to seeing it eventually; it's not that uncommon.

I am exactly the same way. I really don't prefer to be touched. It also leads to some fucking weirdness - I have done that "Oh which side are you going-oh-I was going that side too-haha-oops-which side-" and then ALMOST ACCIDENTAL LIP KISS thing with older male cousins, and it's so awkwardly terrribbble.

Yessss!

If someone more skilled with Photoshop can just replace "Sharepoint" with "Because," that would be great.

I always found Mo'Nique's "no I won't campaign" to be kiiiind of a campaign in itself, though. She was the clear frontrunner, and made such a big deal about no campaigning, that her lack of campaigning became the story. Nobody forgot about her during that awards season.

He was nobody's favorite before, I agree, but nobody was outright calling for his resignation/termination/whatever until the Chris Brown thing. That really put most people over the edge.
