That would be dope. If you also live in Nor Cal, we can make this happen :)

I would love to have my hair french braided. I try to do it myself, but it's so damn thick, my arms get tired after a while.

The only people I know who watch those shows are corny, white sorority-type girls, the type that they cast on the show, so the producer may have a point.

Yes, Girl Archie is way cuter. I'm a girl ginger and I am kind of freaked out by boy gingers.

I miss Freaks & Geeks.

You're right, but I wasn't talking about parents merely pitching in. That isn't wrong for a parent to do. What is wrong is keeping an adult child in a protective bubble to the point where they have no concept of reality. Hearing an adult child whine to their parents is absolutely cringe worthy.

Even part-time work? I worked at Whole Foods during college— not the most amazing job, but they hired a lot of students and they based our schedules around our availability. I'm sure other retail situations are similar. It's worth a shot.

Exactly. Not all of Gen Y has had the luxury of living off their parents' teat while enjoying creative pursuits. A lot of us work jobs we don't love and do pursue our passions in our off hours. We aren't all lucky enough to have trust funds so we can wait for that fulfilling dream job.

Am now following Blaine Capatch for that little gem about Nugent.

UO also donated to Prop 8. And now they're trying to sell us a sanitized girl-love moment. Lovely.

This made me laugh. My mom does the same thing when I watch movies with her (my boyfriend sometimes too), but I always tell them "just watch and find out!" haha. A lot of the time, it's a movie I also haven't seen before, so I don't know why that guy is looking at her that way, or whatever.

I just want to say that my bedroom wall looked like the background wall in the photo of this post when I was in high-school. I thought, at first glance, this article might have something to do with Myspace style photos.

Yeah, I was that girl who had Psycho ruined for her. By my own dad. I tell the story in another comment on this post, actually. It sucked because I was 15 and was genuinely interested in watching the movie spoiler-free, but my little sister got scared so my dad blurted out the ending to us. I turned the movie off and…

Oh, that was complete hyperbole. I don't think I'll ever read The Hunger Games :)

I still haven't seen Psycho in its entirety because of that incident, and I'm a huge Hitchcock fan. My dad's not malicious, but he can be a jerk with things like this. He also likes walking through the room while we're playing Trivial Pursuit at Thanksgiving and blurt out the answers. Smart ass, I wonder where I got…

But what about people who are incredibly late to jump on bandwagons? I reckon I'll be 40 years old and reading the Hunger Games for the first time, to finally know what everyone was squacking about 15 years before.

My dad is a walking spoiler. He ruined Psycho for me when I was a teen, ruined The Great Gatsby when I was reading it for pleasure one summer. I have no idea why, but it's exactly like that Swiffer commercial where the mom is reading a book and the daughter walks up and says "Can you believe the twin was the killer?!"

Right on.

Or, we're watching people who we are forced to interact with on a daily basis, and hate it because we watch TV at night to forget about the shitty people in our lives :)

Comparing The Wire to this slop is kind of silly. I think you have a good point that you can't judge a show based on the first episode, but even in the first five minutes (that conversation with Snot Boogie) of The Wire you could tell something incredibly thought-provoking and revealing was developing. This... not so…
