My roommate made brownies. Yay roommate!
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Because books.
I'm going to be saying muumuu all day, and I don't mind one bit.
Cindy's okay, for anyone wondering. It was a bit of a misunderstanding, that's all.
I just heard the Brangelina news, and I'm shocked, too. They've been together so long! They adopted all those children! And then they took forever to actually get married! Weird.

Thanks for letting us know, Amy.

This Buzzfeed piece on Brangelina is really interesting, and really well-written. And it's Buzzfeed! [link]

Thanks, Amy, I was just getting ready to ask if anyone had heard from Cindy. Glad she's ok.
Also, Buzzfeed with a well written, interesting article? Well, how about that!
I've got one more day to decide on the muumuu question. Today I will wear my black and white striped harem pants, which are kind of obnoxious but I have been slowly desensitizing my coworkers to my loud taste in patterns so I think I can get away with it if I can stop myself from also wearing the black and white striped shrug.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's not "Buzzfeed," it's Anne Helen Peterson! She's been doing great work for years, there and elsewhere.

You want me to remember an actual name? Actually, I might: three names with three different numbers if syllables like that seem to stick in my head pretty well.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I was just coming here to post what Jesse said.

I am pretty tired of the competing-visions-of-femininity paradigm. I hope Jolie's new narrative does something about that.
I am also tired of clinging to daylight savings time when we do not have surplus daylight to move around. Maybe I should see about changing my start time to 9:15 until dst ends...

I mean, you don't have to, but she is great. Here she is on Rock Hudson: [link]
