Yeah, Osha is a formidable opponent - if Ramsay thinks she’s going to go as quietly as Sansa (or even Theon) he’s in for a surprise. I just want to know who’s going to be ultimately responsible for Ramsay’s spectacular, gory demise - Osha or Jon Snow?

Well, but when Arya corrected herself and said half-brother, she didn’t get smacked again by the Waif. Which is interesting because maybe these Braavos people don’t know everything after all.

Not long after Al and Tipper split up, I saw an older couple at a restaurant on what was clearly a first or second date, and it just made me feel so tired. I mean, my parents got divorced, obviously I know it happens, but thinking about going through an entire multi-decade marriage and then having to start all over…

Mark, this was so great, and brave of you to write. I have a similar fucked up relationship with my dad, and am not close to my mom—neither of them should probably have been parents. But here I am, just trying to make the best of it. <3

Somewhere, H.G. Wells is rolling his eyes...

Land’s End clothing is not my style but I love their bathing suits, which are made well and last for-fucking ever. Seriously, I had the elastic replaced in my favorite LE swim bottom because the material was still in such good condition.

Crotch Crickets is the BEST EXPRESSION.

Trying to work my way through putting my hair in a ponytail with only one hand kind of blew my mind. One of my close friends wears a prosthetic leg and things can definitely be difficult for her but it’s so much harder to imagine not having two hands.

I was thinking she’s going to have a tough time with those heels in her NASCAR car.

Those four young lads with the pretty lady in the low-cut green dress are staring ahead like they had the sternest lecture ever about keeping their eyes looking up while on the red carpet.

Agreed. Calorie counting also is what works when you’re already eating a healthy, whole foods-based diet. It’s frustrating to hear from people who are like “I lost 30 lbs just by making changes to my diet!” and you know it’s mostly because they stopped drinking Coke 3x a day and started to eat kale instead of french…

Yeah, I struggled to get through the second book. The French stuff was SO. BORING.

I said to my viewing companion last night, when he remarked that we didn’t see Danaerys at all—I feel the same way about her storyline as I did about Gaius Baltar’s in BSG. Every moment spent on her is a moment taken away from people I’d rather be seeing more of.

“I feel like” is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. It’s as bad as ending every statement in a questioning tone. As someone I respect said to me, “Would you say ‘I feel like the sky is blue’?” If you’re stating a fact, you shouldn’t soften it with words that basically tell the other person, “this is just my opinion, I…

Her comments about herself also have a ring of false modesty to them. Amanda Peet is a beautiful woman and a talented actress—why dismiss herself as an over-the-hill “low-tier TV mom type”?

What I think of whenever I read anything about Mr. Marshall: “Please, call me Garry!”

That’s a full lid, people.

That is good to know - thank you! (I mean, I know we might be totally different but I always just assumed it would be the same hormonal response.)

To say nothing of diving!

That’s why it pleases me that the British men’s swimsuit is *so much skimpier* than the women’s!
