I have the same problem. When I cook, I like to cook. I always struggled with weeknight dinners until I realized that I could make soup a couple times a week and have leftovers. A slow-cooker just makes it that much easier. I am thinking of investing in a fancy-pants Cuisinart one.

My parents divorced when I was 8, and I lived with my dad for the next four years. He wasn't much of a cook, so we went out to dinner or had takeout almost every night. The nights we went out, in particular, are a really good memory for me. I was always a daddy's girl and we would always have fun going out to eat…

I think it's pretty cool that she told him about her "old nose" and that she and her BF had a sense of humor about it. That's the way to do it.

We did a semi-elopement beach wedding, and the $500 included the photographer, who served as witness, and a cake. Got a $200 wedding dress from J.Crew. I don't regret doing the low-key, no guests thing at all. We're both introverts and my family is way too dysfunctional.

Another commenter just pointed out that Bill Hader would be perfect as Akroyd, and I agree.

You should be a casting agent. That is fucking brilliant.

I would like to say something nice about Nicole Kidman: Yes, she's had work done, but I don't think she's as plastic as the tabloids make her out to be. She seems like a genuinely nice and down to earth person, as well as one of the best actresses working, and The Paperboy taught us that she not only has more To Die…

That's pretty impressive. And here I was all proud of myself for getting married for $500. And that was in 2004. I guess you can't beat the value of getting married at the courthouse.

My completely non-expert but somewhat informed opinion is that he suffers from a lack of impulse and emotional control due to his traumatic brain injury from his car accident a decade ago.

I'm no big fan of Kanye, and I find him tiresome, but any time he's really gotten on my nerves, I think of this and a small part of me has a soft spot for him.

"Walking snore." Nailed it.

Yup, Posh is far more down to earth than her couture-clad appearance and general bitchface would suggest. As a fellow sufferer of chronic resting bitchface myself, I get it. I've always liked her.

Agree on all points.

I totally agree, and I plan to have a plan. I was just wondering if the possibility of a mental "boost" from having the placenta made into capsules might push it from "dumb" to "perhaps, just perhaps, worth a shot." I get that the research around the benefits of placenta consumption is nearly nonexistent, but I…

*claps*

The phenomenon you describe is precisely why Pedro Almodóvar is my favorite director. He's very, "hey, why can't this psychosexual insanity and death be fun?"

I see your point. It would be that last step that Ben Affleck needs to take to cement his place as a "real" director. Since he only acted for so many years, it's probably a bit of a habit to break. I'm sure it started as "hey, I can act AND direct!", but now that he's gotten so much positive attention for his…

Honestly, I don't think Ben Affleck suffers from a lack of credibility as a director at all. He's done a pretty damn good job proving himself on that front. And while his acting range might not be on par with Damon's, he has come into his own where that is concerned as well.

a) I would never, ever consider this. However....

Agreed. I saw Ravenous in the theater when I was a senior in high school, and though my best friend and I both loved it, the rest of the group of (incredibly lame) girls with us complained and said "ew" the whole time. It's nice to discover that others are as enthusiastic about your favorite things as you are.
