I thought you were talking about Sexually Transmitted Diseases at first.

Thank you, Iceland.

It’s ok if Uma’s character talks about her husband in pulp fiction. A lot of people think two women talking about a man means a movie fails the Bechdel test, but that’s not true.

Ok, I stand corrected.

One of my friends recently moved to Reykjavik, and she was appalled by how much money basic things cost, especially electronics and appliances.

I’m sure people will, though. People will say that Philippines “stole” the crown.

Yep, she did one with Torrid. It kind of bombed and all went to clearance (in stores) but did ok online. I’ve heard they’re doing a second collection sometime next year.

Yeah, the jeans are nice! Seven7 jeans are nice in general.

I don’t think it would raise any eyebrows. It would be more masculine without the fringe, but the colors and the chunky squares both read as menswear.

Oh man, that’s tough.

I like the fact that he’s not super (traditionally) masculine.

That's everybody, though. Everybody has fucked up traditions.

Off topic, but what you just said reminded me of a book I’ve read. It’s a fantasy novel where there is a class of spirits (magical entities) called “mortal spirits” which are created by ideas. If an idea is emotionally charged and relevant to a lot of people, it definitely has a spirit.

That’s a really good video. I’m still going to be aghast when bikers blow through red lights, but I’ll be more forgiving when I see somebody yield at a stop sign.
