I call shenanigans - Newark isn't one giant red ring.

It's not the hardest Zelda game (though I've been stumped in a couple of places so far), but I'm getting so much nostalgia out of it and enjoying the updates and the music so much that it's completely worth it.

Kentucky is where you get cheap gas and cigarettes on your way to somewhere else. For me, though, that "somewhere else" was Indiana. I can't throw stones.

Little prince George. Bumped his uncle down one, adorably. :)

I would advise finding out what the required courses are for the degree program you want and taking as many as possible at a local community college before moving on to a university. You don't even need to be on an AA track to do it, you just need to take and do well in courses that will transfer and that your…

YES. I spent an entire transatlantic flight so squashed that the flight attendants apologized for not being able to move me. The woman in front of me kept her seat fully reclined, even when sitting upright or leaving for the toilets and not actually using it. When the meal came, the flight attendant had to ask her to…

I couldn't read them either, but it all comes down to my inability to connect with (and lose myself in) any book written in the present tense. On very very rare occasions I can get past it and enjoy a book/series, but this wasn't one of them.

I'll get random feathers, but there are also often poop traces (not big chunks, but smears? Sometimes small chunky smears.) that make me cringe. Especially if I don't think about it before cracking one into whatever I'm making.

A celebrity's weight is always 98 lbs. according to tabloids. (on a related note, weight is always lost in 25 lb. increments.)

I have a few: Maybelline Full n Soft, Chanel Inimitable, DiorShow, and Lancome's Doll Eyes (all waterproof). I keep going back to the Full n Soft, though - somehow it keeps being the best.

I was half hyperbolic and half thinking about the construction in the area around the station (also, I'm holding a grudge because they've changed the trams and a 15 minute trip now sometimes takes 45.) It's been interesting to watch the digging and moving the windmill.

I just turned 40 and pencils have started skipping and making things look really messy, so I've moved solely to liquid or gel pots. With some practice and the right point it's super easy!

I pass through it at least once a week and have really loved watching it develop and change over the last couple of years.

I think it's mostly because there isn't as much of a stigma here about it as there is in other places, so people are more likely to get treatment for depression and/or burnout (which are linked in the system here) than in places where culturally it's much more frowned upon.

Legend is always worth an evening in Richmond - I've heard they're branched out a bit since last I was there (graduated VCU in 1998) but their beer was awesome. I'm assuming it still is.

Bridget was the one who reminded me the most of my friends, and I would have totally hung out with her any day. Kendra? She was annoying and Holly was too focused.

Here in The Netherlands, I've been introduced to people named Floor and Joke (Yo-kuh). They're not common names, but aren't uncommon, either.

I'm too lazy to peel sometimes and it turns out ok. You just end up with mushy peels in your filling, which isn't as good but isn't bad, since apple crisp can't be bad.

At least 95% of my book purchases (paper books) are through Amazon because the Dutch market has this bizarre price-fixing thing where books are twice as expensive here as in neighboring Germany. With English books it's even worse - I refuse to pay 12 euros for a paperback when I can get it from Amazon.de for 6 (and…

I don't see the problem. When I've visited a mosque (the Blue Mosque in Istanbul is incredible) I've honored their traditions and covered up.
