I had to put The Postal Service on after that last song. Oh man, my apartment with the nag champa, Kathryn swinging by en route from Italy or South Hadley, cigarettes by the window in the green chair… That was a real good lease.

I’m having so many issues with Christianity lately. But at least Chick-fil-A is disgusting on so many other levels, so no problem slashing it off the list.

– From a Chowhound thread about people’s favorite Silver Palate recipes. Lukas pointed out that this would be a great audition monologue. (via thingsiatethatilove)
This seriously is the kind of thing I do in the bathroom mirror.

Not to be all dire, but do I know you? When did you all start taking an interest in football? I’m starting to get verklempt.

I know I’m not the first—and only for about a minute will I be the last—person to point out how tiresome Jezebel commenters are, but: Oh my God, Jezebel commenters are so tiresome!!
I think for my birthday, we’re going to sample every single one of these.

Except for not considering myself “brilliant,” this (stolen from squee-gee’s HP horoscopes) might be the best, most succinct description of my personality that I’ve ever read.

Today was the first time my Issues of Race & Gender in the Law class met, and my professor asked a few of us directly to identify ourselves generally, with the characteristics we thought gave us privilege or took it away.

My friend Colin and I had a Facebook relay and he sent me this link, Marian McPartland’s 1992 interview with Rosemary Clooney. Every minute is pure bliss, as things usually are when Marian McPartland is involved.
Witnessing tweets on both football and outfit-evaluating is making my brain feel like it might explode.
At some point today I was motivated to dig out my yoga mat, which was in my closet and covered with cobwebs. I unfurled it, set it down in the middle of my apartment, and then went right back to my computer to work. Every time I took a kitchen-run break I had to walk around it, which might have been the subconscious intention because finally I noticed that my body feels like shit from sitting at...

Maybe this means you’re the more high profile type? And I’m the scout leader type?

In her later years, Ms. Whiting was known to many as the unlikely wife of Jack Wrangler (originally John Stillman), a star of gay pornographic films in the 1970s who went on to become a cabaret and theater producer.
Ms. Whiting and Mr. Wrangler, 22 years her junior, met in the 1970s, lived together for many years and married in 1994. She wrote about their relationship in an autobiography,...
Hair Report
I’ve lately taken to running a comb through it, which I haven’t done since I was in high school. I’m learning that one of the rules is that I must comb it back right when I get out of the shower, not 15 minutes after I get out of the shower, in which case the unruly expansion goes into effect (see above). Sometimes with the winter comes the dilemma of: Is it cold enough outside...

Describe your most spectacular kitchen disaster. Right after I moved into my current apartment (about 4 years ago), a pot of oil I’d been heating on the stove for deep frying spontaneously combusted when I lifted the lid (NEVER heat oil with the lid on, people!) and created a column of fire. It was so hot that I couldn’t get close enough to it to put it out (mistake #2: having...
The children are back in school! And at 3:00 PM on weekdays, we’re back to our regularly scheduled chorus of bloodcurdling screams, each afternoon inciting in me a fear of some nearby murderous rampage, but nope, just kids.
