Who else is pumped for the World Cup? I can't wait! I am a die hard Spain fan so I will be rooting for La Roja even though I know a back to back win is a serious long shot. Are any of the Jez sub blogs sports oriented, or is there a group of Jezzie football fans that wants to discuss the matches? Who are you guys…

I can understand liking some of her songs but I cannot fathom going to one of her concerts.

Maybe it means those around us don't notice it as much as we think? One can always hope....

I do this all the time and it drives me nuts. I have a weird thing where I'm almost incapable of getting through any sort of doctors appointment without tearing up, even when nothing (physical) is wrong with me! I always feel like such a weirdo.

Just curious, did you read the translation or the original?

I was not feeling Savage Detectives but I liked some of his shorter novellas. I also managed most of 2666 (it was for a class so we skipped parts for the sake of time), mostly out of spite because his books always give me the impression that he would hate me as a reader and not give a shit about what I think or if I…

Yo, magical realism is a distinct literary tradition, you take back those quotes.

Cool, I will check out that link. I wasn't looking forward to spending money replacing my old uncomfortable bras with more of the same but if I find some properly fitting ones I wouldn't mind investing.

Oh blargh!

I had a type of palate expander (someone above linked to more info) before I had braces because my teeth were really crooked from being too jammed together. It wasn't real fun, but the other option was having one or two teeth pulled and that's pretty much my worst fear. I had to have speech therapy when I was even…

That sounds potentially very obnoxious. I've definitely been in the room of older professionals making jokes about how no one knows what they're doing in their 20s and been secretly dying inside because I was 22 at the time. (Spoiler alert, I didn't know what I was doing, but I was super insecure about it, so it felt…

I found this potentially life changing bra fitting video on Tumblr:

geez, that's a lot of nerve. Surely people realize you have to pay employees well and treat them well if you want to keep them...

good luck, I hope you get the job that you want! I don't see why they would call you out on it, even if they suspect... If they do, just one more reason to say fuck it.

puravida! I've never been but it's near the top of my list!

Still feeling pretty sad because I had to make the decision to put a horse down at work yesterday. (I work at a farm for aged and rescued horses... Worked there for years and came back as the manager on a temporary basis, so this was the first time I had to make the call myself.) He was not the most graceful or…

surprised I missed that. I always found rickrolling funny. When I was in high school i wanted to be a tv writer, and in the series that I partially outlined/wrote, there was a character named Rick and it was my intention to frequently invent weird reasons for him to roll down hills.

Ah the classic, refined elegance of the Rickroll. They just don't make internet pranks like they used to.

damn, I'm forever in awe of people who can come up with the on-the-spot scathing comeback... mine always occur to me 5 minutes-5 years later.

I'm looking forward to it, as long as Will's dogs still make appearances. I'm not sure I blinked for the last 15-20 minutes. So intense. By far one of my favorite shows ever.
