Oh man, I’ve always wanted a movie version of The BFG but doubted it would be done well. Now I’m getting my hopes up. Mark Rylance was a wonderful choice. I just hope they keep it dark enough.

Wouldn’t it be great to just get the whole bus chanting ‘turtle! turtle!’ at increasing volume until the backpack hit the floor?

Well, a friend of mine was earning over twice as much as me straight out of college for the same job. Of course, all of that went to the higher cost of living, but it can be done.

“That seems...great for people starting out (especially because there are no credit checks or brokers fees)”

No one should shower in sandals past the age of 20.

Uh, so, I have a room for rent about that price... but no yoga studio.

I’ve come across various setups like this. Some are very social (usually smaller ones that are organized by the renters themselves and they can vet the roommates and select a certain type) and others are not at all. I think it’s actually much easier to isolate yourself in the anonymity of living with a large group…

I do think it could be a good temporary situation. Move there while you learn the city, maybe meet some friends and then go apartment hunting together. It could be better than the Craigslist gamble for a newbie.

Sharp cheddar? I call foul! Also, now I really want a pizza.

But it’s so much easier to leave passive aggressive notes and ignore them!

“a wonderful 100 year old bungalow in Cincinnati. Our mortgage is $700 a month. It’s urban but we still have a yard and I can walk to work.”

I wonder how much the communal space is actually used versus people holing up in the bedrooms with their gadgets or only being home for sleep.

They do make a travel sized if you don’t use it often enough to warrant a full bottle!

Also, if you find yourself ‘hungry’ (but not actually in need of food) and looking through the cupboards, a quick cup of miso broth can satisfy your cravings.

I love chopped kale salads. I use the curly green kale, chop it fairly fine, then add a small drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice, then ‘massage’ it into the kale and let it sit while you chop the rest of the stuff. It makes it more tender and distributes the dressing without using a ton. I’ve done many…

Have you tried hyaluronic acid? That stuff is amazing.

What color did you order? I’ve had my eye on that...

I love Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer. I have dry, sensitive skin and it just blends right in. It’s worth the splurge since it’s going all over your face. I haven’t tried it yet, but this RCMA powder gets rave reviews and is really reasonably priced. I think Sephora’s eyeliner is really good for the price: goes on…

I can’t remember the last time I felt such pure lust as during the rowing scene. All of the rhythmic straining... and the hatred in his eyes was kind of working for me too? Might need to reflect on that.

I want to know, too! I’m so tempted to order!
