Interestingly enough, being German myself, her being female was definitely not the first thought for me while reading that she was named.

This. A nice (and yes, well-hated in the Gawker network, but I will link to it anyways) TED talk about this subject was this one, which I quite enjoyed and used to my advantage to get out of a two-year slump. Thanks for the post!

Haha, my boyfriend gets all giddy when he has a run of 70-hour weeks.... ;)

UBC is my Canadian Alma Mater, if you want to call it that way. Although I enjoyed my time at the University, and learned a lot, I am not that surprised by these news. After having live 3+ years in Canada, and mostly in BC, what struck me as a European there the most was a fairly blatant sexism. At the same time you…

AHHHH! I just moved to the Netherlands last week and found the flyer for this yesterday! It is really, really awesome festival. Such a bummer I missed it this year, but next year I'll be there for sure!

So, I just looked through most of the posts here to find out WHY Dominic Monaghan is supposed to be a noted asswipe? I am really wondering, he always seemed kind of... well... cool? I might be wrong, please, enlighten me who can.

Okay, I just found this series for myself, and am just reading myself through a boring office-shift with these amazing interviews. Do you think you could try to interview Josh Clark and Charles W. Bryant from "Stuff You Should Know?" Those two are my absolute heroes. :)

Good call. I recently re-watched the third season for the first time and am actually glad (now) that Piz made it into the movie. So I'd probably buy any explanation anyways.

My internet connection was wayyyy to slow this morning and I actually YELLED at the screen for the video to load. YES advanced backer-emails though!

Mark Duplass. Mark Duplass. Mark Duplass. Mark Duplass. ...

Oh man, Lindy... This is so harsh. I hope you, personally, just needed to vent by posting these comments (next to the more overarching issues you address, of course). This being said, I hope you know that you are one of my favorite bloggers, of Jezebel and in general, and that there's probably a huge number of people…

double post

I just thought something around these lines, too. The laughter in the end is right up there as well...

Uh-oh, it was way too early for me to post...

Me too!

I love Matt Damon, don't get me wrong, and he's gorgeous. But I'm sure those are spray-painted abs.

EST-posting. Just woke up after a night dreaming of being on vacation with Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. They were so kind to me! Invited me to a spa in Costa Rica and all. During the entire time I was wondering why they were so open and kind with me, taking me around like a little pet friend. And Justin was so…

She looks gorgeous! Her natural facial features suit her so much better than the botox-freeze she sported these past few years. So lovely!

She reminds me of a good friend who is bipolar. All I can think of in this case is that so far no one seemed to have bothered to call for help, psychiatric or police, or both. I don't know. We had several instances were my boyfriend and I had to call the police on him, and (luckily he wanted to go with them so they…

Very good! After supporting the kickstarter I recently did a quick run-through of the 15 best-ish episodes of the first season. I can't wait for the movie! VM ftw!
