It looks like Charlotte Tilbury’s Walk of Shame which is amazing and worth every penny of its high price.

The left stick on my ww one is starting to go (Link accidentally crouches a lot now), but they have decent customer support. I should have it fixed soonerr rather than later, though. Just in case...

Nope. I’m 44 and still faking it every damn day. You just learn to hide it better.

I had thought I’d booked a BA flight (which are good) and got bait-and-switched to their AA codeshare. And then that shit happened. KLM is mostly great, but you have to watch out for codeshares with Delta (not mostly great, but still better than AA). My next long flight is on United, whose international service is ok.…

American. American won’t let you pick a seat when you purchase, and unless you pay extra all of the “available” seats on the plane are middle ones until magically right when check-in opens. And most of the time people have sucked up and paid the randomly-shifting “pick a good seat” charges, which means “pay x0% more…

I always hear/use “doe normaal” in the context of “calm the fuck down and stop doing that thing that’s possibly embarrassing me”. Not in the context above. That could reflect more on me than on standard usage, though...

I felt old, and then remembered that I found out he’d died from the Jez article and then remembered that I’m still grey. So now I’m old AND depressed..

I moved to The Netherlands in 2005 and haven’t even considered going back to the US. It’s difficult being far from my family sometimes, but the overall quality of life here is significantly better. (Also, my Dutch husband wouldn’t go even if I wanted to.)

Would Mar-a-Shithole count? That’s one of his most prized and tacky possessions. 

I’m in Den Haag. There will be open snickering and pointing if I ever see him.

It happens. Doxxing myself, but it’s my maiden name. Not the easiest one to grow up with.

I have a Civic Hybrid. Honda gaveus a 10-year warranty on the batteries, offered to change them (for free, because warranty) when the tech advanced, and then have us a brand new 10-year warranty on the new batteries. And we’re not the first owners.

Sorry. That was meant for ArmoredTitan. Old fingers fumble!

When I was nine we got an Atari, a system so old my Swype didn’t recognize the word.

Mine are plum. I figure that puts them into the “cute” category. And as someone who regularly bikes as part of my commute, I’ll pick warm feet over “actually cute” any day.

Me too! Also, I’m avoiding going into the center until after Tuesday. (In Den Haag/Delft here.) Don’t want to ruin my happy glow with tooth-clenching and loud “still?!?” proclamations.

I’ve tried pretty much every fancy brand of mascara and keep going back to Maybelline’s Full n Soft. At the very beginning of a tube it’s almost too light, but after a week or so I get ridiculously awesome, non-spidery lashes out of it.

Becca luminizing primer. I can see (and feel) a huge difference when I haven’t used it. Also, Maybelline Full n Soft waterproof mascara. It’s not sold in NL, so my mom mails it to me every so often, between family/friend trips.

I still have a Wii just for GameCube games. They can be found out cheap these days if you want to give it a go. (I also still have my copy of ED and may have to play again soon because of this article.)

I have everything Cruisie has written! She’s truly delightful. I think you’ll enjoy Molly Harper- I’ve been recommending them left and right for a few years now. The heroine is a sarcastic librarian who’s fired in the first few pages and it’s all up/downhill from there.
