As a woman with curly hair, I have a new comeback to the asshats who ask me if I'd ever straighten my hair. They'll be sorry they asked.

Depression was famously compared to a "black dog" by Churchill. So if the Guilty Remnant is a cult clinging to depression, what does it mean that Jill released the black dog from their backyard? Is she releasing her own black dog upon others outside of her home, or freeing herself from depressioN/

I'm so with you. The first time I saw it I related heavily to Claire, rewatching the syndicated version I related to Brenda, and now I really feel for Ruth.

Maniac Mansion. That is and always will be my NES jam.

So glad it's not just me.

Absolutely! Though, hopefully I can mitigate that cretin status by insisting that I really wanted to like it—it has a tremendously talented cast and I live on the Gulf Coast, so I thought it'd be great. Then they killed off my John Goodman.

I read the title of this article "'Treme dies as it lives" and all I could think was "Not with a bang, but a whimper." I had such high expectations for this show.

I am praying to the god I don't believe in that this brilliant show doesn't go the way of another brilliant HBO show gone too soon—Enlightened. I don't know how a show like Girls (while good) survives when prestige shows such as Enlightened, Deadwood, and Carnivale are gone too soon.

DIMI should check out the play the guy with the disabled hand is getting on MTV's The Challenge:  Rivals II.  Not…that I…watch that.  The dude has a crap personality, but he whups ass in the challeges, one handed.  Women are impressed by people getting over disabilities and not letting them get in the way.
