When I was in 8th grade and picking out classes for my first year of high school, I decided to sign up for ‘Forensics’ because I thought it was going to be some Law and Order shit. Turns out it was just debate team, and I spent the next three years writing (awful) speeches about The Media (I did a really great one on The Sopranos and the history of mafia stories in pop culture) and...

My cat is still missing. The door to my place blew open while I was gone sometime between Thursday morning and Friday morning and he could have gotten out at any time. I expressed my initial upsetness with an Elizabeth Bishop poem and then rationalized myself into a state of relative calm,…

In theory I understand that I shouldn’t be excited about Black Friday because of conspicuous consumption and planned obsolescence, both of which can be/are troubling, but in reality I am ALL ABOUT IT because nothing makes me happier than coupons. I mean, of course Real Things make me happier than coupons, but COUPONS! hold a really important place in my heart.
You’re already aware of...

From Two Thanksgivings Ago
Nothing makes me feel like more of an asshole than making up my mind about someone and then being forced to see them in a different light. I’m not, mind you, talking about passing judgment and later realizing that I was unfair, although that has been known to happen. This is more subtle—it’s when you make up your mind to hate the SEPTA agent who yells at you for not having exact...
RESOLVED:
After he’s done trying to be the king of Art Basel, Kanye West needs to move to coastal England, feel his feelings, and lay down some tracks with Kevin Shields.
YOU’RE WELCOME.

I wrote about being an idiot for the Hairpin! Also, you can feel :-( that you missed the chance to buy a date with me.

A really fun and rewarding game to play by yourself or with friends is the ‘hot lava’ game. It’s simple, really—you designate a particular surface or object, ideally one that a person inevitably comes in contact with (doors, room dividers, etc.) as hot lava, and anything that touches it is burned, because that’s what hot lava does. For example, last night! Lying in...

So it’s acceptable for him to abuse animals as a result of the behavior of his colleagues? I’m not exactly sure how that makes one a hypocrite.
I’m the first one to admit I am biased when it…

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the wide availability of pajama sets. If I could, I’d wear a new set of pajamas every night.*
*It goes without saying that I’d rather jump into a volcano than wear dirty pajamas.

SPEAKING OF SLASH FIC, is anyone writing Boardwalk Empire stories or what? Specifically stories about Arnold Rothstein/me?
Someone (tween or housewife mom, don’t care which) needs to be writing Hermione/Snatcher slash fic.
1. It’s really fun to be Team Voldemort until a house elf gets killed and you find yourself quietly sobbing in the third row of the Arclight.
2. VOLDEMORT DOESN’T EAT AT THE TABLE WITH DEATH EATER BROS! Even Bellatrix, who wants to be Mrs. Tom ‘Voldy’ Riddle, avoids looking him directly in the eye if she can help it! Also, Malfoy Manner is not that well-lit.
