1. Looked up the Gummi Bears theme song on Youtube. (Go do it. Seriously. It's literally the BEST THEME SONG EVER ( Read more... )

You know I hate Black Friday. I rant about it every year. But this year, I actually bought something on Black Friday. Don't clutch your pearls too tightly, I never even left the house. I never even left the sofa and I sure as hell didn't even get out of my pajamas. I bought Zeus, Inc., a book on Amazon that a friend of mine wrote. In honor of Black ( Read more... )

With permission from the wonderful Eyelid, who wrote it, I bring you possibly the best thing ever written. It should be required reading for the entire human race.

How To Make An ApologyI was thinking to myself, people generally do not get how to do apologies. There should be a tutorial. Apologies are a major life skill ( Read more... )

Ok, first things first. I'm gonna talk about sex, ya'll. Specifically, the bestselling trilogy "50 Shades of Grey." I'm not going to get uber graphic or anything but if you are a parental unit or family member of mine, or just a friend who prefers we not discuss sexy books, bow out now. No harm, no foul, I'll see you at the next family dinner and ( Read more... )

I've become a little bit addicted to the .99 cheesy romance novels for my Kindle. They're so dumb and yet, somehow, so satisfying.

But they're really messing up my recommendation list.

So how'd I do on my Oscar predictions? I called 5 out of the big 6. Pretty decent, I think! Of course, I still stand by all my "should have won" opinions but nothing enraged me to Braveheart winning proportions. Not even Meryl Streep winning Best Actress. She shouldn't have won, but she's Meryl Streep, probably the greatest living actress around ( Read more... )

Or, as close to the conclusion as I can get, anyway. I have to say, I think I did pretty well. If you've forgotten, or never cared in the first place, the Oscar Death Race is an idea I stole from Sara Bunting over at Tomato Nation in which I attempt to see every Oscar nominated movie that's shown on the broadcast. Not just the Best Picture nominees ( Read more... )

Before I get to the movies that were nominated and who will win and who should win, I just need to take a moment to rage in defense of the movies/people that were not nominated whose absence on the ballot is a travesty of epic proportions. Where, for the love of all that is good, is Michael Fassbender's name on the best actor category?? The man ( Read more... )

So. I'm officially unemployed. It is a really, really awful feeling. I feel like a failure and I am intensely embarrassed, even though there is not one thing I could have done to prevent this from happening. I filed for unemployment the other day, and even though it was relatively painless (I did it online) and easy, the process made me feel very ( Read more... )

In about 2 weeks, I will be unemployed.

I am terrified on so many levels.
