I also liked Year of The Flood better than Oryx and Crake. I hadn't had time to read the 3rd one yet, but I'm hoping to this summer.

Very excited about this. Seeing books you love get brought to life is always a little nerve-wracking, but I'm really optimistic about this. The first headline I saw didn't mention HBO just Aronofsky, so while I was excited I was a little nervous because I thought that they meant a movie or movie trilogy. I was beyond…

hahaha! this is fantastic. Over the years whenever I saw one of these suits on a website or a catalog this is exactly what I would always picture, and exactly why I never even considered getting one.

Yes! glad I wasn't the only one.

Yeah, I don't think that will help her. Once they get her marriage annulled she'll be fair game. Cousins marry all the time, an uncle through marriage with no blood ties would be no big deal.

Interesting tidbit. They mentioned in an earlier episode (after Joffrey's) poisoning that Oberyn is a suspect because he is known as a poisoner. In fact he's called the Viper because he tips his weapons with poison, you can actually see in the show his squire (or whatever you want to call him) wiping the tip of his…

I'm cool with 3 leads so long as it isn't "here's the two ladies we promised, and this dude who will actually be the star."

I think that there are tactful ways to do it. Even something as simple as saying for a wedding- "we want to go to ____ for our honeymoon please helps us do that, by contributing what you would have otherwise spent on a gift." I've also seen similar requests from people looking to buy a house -"please help us start out…

Yeah that's all fine and well if you're wearing true denim jeans, but every single pair I own has stretch in them and they do NEED to be washed regularly as is pointed out above. My only question about real denim, and forgive me for the over share here, but spot cleaning or not don't they eventually start to smell…

Super, we're behind Ireland, a country that made international news for letting a woman die rather than abort a fetus that wasn't going to make it anyway. Way to go America.

So I recently went through the process of needing a new sports bra, and I found it shockingly hard to find one without underwire or excessive straps and other nonsense. I went to VS because I had already tried a few places and I felt like I was running out of options, and it was awful. They had one that I liked, but…

Yeah, I'll have to give it another try, my initial impression was that it was just the kind of show you'd find on the SyFy channel. Don't get me wrong, I like science fiction, I'm not usually impressed with the quality of their shows.

Maybe I'll have to give it another try, I know a lot of people who rave about it and I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't get into it. The plot weak.

I'm sorry but PF is not the only gym with a dress code. Having been a member at two different PFs in two different states I've never had a problem with their dress code and I wear pretty normal workout clothes fitted workout pants, sports bra, workout tank. If you want to workout in a crop top or a sports bra, that's…

YES! Pinterest is such a weird place, I have an account and use it mainly to quickly grab recipes I want to be able to find later and design ideas I like, but holy crap there is a ton of nonsense floating around.

I thought that at first too, but then I thought about a lot of the stuff that Pinterest gets used for and some of the people I know from high school, college, etc that use it. A lot of them are SUPER waspy and I wouldn't be surprised if many of them leaned conservative. Plus I mean the site basically started out as a…

I do this for most destination/non local weddings I get invited to, but saying no isn't always a simple option. My SO's cousin is getting married in August. It is going to be a small wedding only close friends and family, we're close with both the cousin and his fiance, and all originally lived in the same state.…

Oh come on, animals cannot literally be a person's child, but everyone knows that is certainly how many people view them figuratively.

UGH, I HATE HATE HATE this debate. Wear makeup, don't wear makeup it doesn't matter so fucking stop talking about it like it matters.

For me personally I just don't think it is flattering on most people. Depending on body type it cuts the torso funny, can make you look shorter, can make your hips look wider, or just generally looks awkward. I think the top she's wearing in the video might have been okay if the peplum wasn't quite so big and flouncy,…
