The High Woman In The Castle

I don’t know what my idiot coworker does, but his set up is such that the camera is at a very sharp and low angle far from his face.

Some entrainment magazine did a cover story on Mindy Making. The interview took place at a restaurant over brunch.

I remember when Mandy Moore "bravely" announced she was a size eight and proud of it. Oh please. 

You mean tough on non-existent crime. Crime rates had gone down by the time Clinton came around, largely credited to Roe vs. Wade. Freakonomics explains it. 

It’s not a purity test to expect leaders to keep their fucking hands to themselves and treat women like human beings.

Because overweight men never, ever get the scrutiny women of any size do. Plenty of overweight men get juicy roles and attention and accolades. And those men never ever have to explain or defend their bodies. The roles they get? Body size is irrelevant. 

Thank you. It’s especially disheartening when those messages come from people who already fit the beauty idea, and you know damn well THEY would never let themselves look any less hot than they do now.

This is why I hate the phrase "blood is thicker than water." The worst things that have ever been said or done to me were my family members. Why should I have to put up with that? 

I know she meant well, but I really hate this mentality that the high road is the ideal place to be.

An expert on Jez (please come out wherever you are because I can’t remember your name) explained to me that he didn’t have as much money as I thought but he has more that one would think.

Fucking good.

Sooooooo did that guy die of COVID-19?

I still don’t understand that. So Howard Dean did a rallying cry that someone isolated and circulated.

Thank you. I do not understand the desire to paint a more complicated picture. This entire family is about as deep as the puddle in my driveway.

I’m reminded of the time Ted Kennedy opposed ocean wind farms because one of the proposed areas was off the coast of Hyannis Port. Keep in mind the farm would have been several miles away, but Teddy didn’t want them in view from his house.

OMG I love you, and I don't know why. 

Well they’ve been doing it for literally centuries so....

Your last sentence is spot on. It’s very, very hard to identify with a person who is/was so prone to rage and violence. I’ve often wondered if something happened to her, and my parents were the type to not consider something like that. She was a straight A student with an intact hymen, and that’s all they cared about.

She is probably one of the most unhappiest people I’ve ever met.

When I lived with my sister, she took our sibling status to mean should do and say whatever she wanted whereas with an actual roommate she couldn’t do hardly any of that stuff.
