Comment on Masculinization of the Kitchen by Floral Joy

My husband has been spending more time at home and so I asked him to pitch in with the cooking. Being that he was a chef in college, I expected some really good food- not macaroni helper!

Oh maaan, this sounds good. One of the things I miss most about living in a freaking non-tropical climate is the ability to enjoy soup when the weather is getting nippy…but I may have to make this one anyway. Yum!

Comment on Shitstorm of the Week, or, WTF, Hollywood? by Amy

Amen! I too am sickened by the people (namely Debra Winger) saying art is suffering because Polanski was arrested. Who gives a crap?

This case has dragged on for 30 years because he made a choice to flee the country rather than stay in the U.S. and face his charges like a man.

He deserves to be extradited and to serve his time. If his name wasn’t Polanski, would people be saying to just forget it? I think not.

“For one, does any novel with explicit sex count as pornographic now?”

I think it depends on whether you read it in front of Lindsey Graham or not.

I read what you had to say about Winston Churchill’s fanfiction (something about that sentence isn’t quite right …) on Jezebel.

Am I your first comment this month?

Thanks for the mention, Amanda! I’m definitely considering what folks are saying about my use of the word ’smut’.

Comment on On spoilers, or: It’s Just a Fucking TV Show, People. by Ealasaid

OH MY GOD YES.

I actually had some folks give me shit for saying simply that from what I’d heard of the whole last season of Battlestar Galactica, I was right not to watch it. They were like, “OMG SPOILERS WE HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST TWELVE EPISODES ACK!”

Dude. If a show was aired more than a few days ago, don’t bitch about spoilers. If it’s a good show, spoilers won’t matter. GOD.

Thanks Amanda, especially for saying my actions merited celebration. I agree that yours did as well. It was a rough year both professionally and personally. I hope this year will be better.

Comment on Online shopping is the only way to keep Christmas relatively painless by Amy

I’m with you. I hate shopping to begin with and the crowds drive me insane, so I’ve been doing all my Xmas shopping online for the last few years.
