I also hate the crap about how thin she is just as much as I would cringe over someone ragging on Melissa McCarthy's body.

Me too.

She honestly looked like she was having fun.

Plus, she wore lipstick that wasn't bland beige. So many outfits ruined by that today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For some reason, I like the phrase "free reign" as much as I like "hare's breath", which is quite a bit. This thought brought to you by something else.

I just had to take down a picture off my fridge because that would mean I had three pictures of this guy up in my apartment and a) I didn't take all three pictures b) he's not related to me c) we never did the dirty d) I only have a threepeat up of one other person, and he's 1) a baby 2) related.

I'm trying to imagine the guy's wife, or a guy who likes me scanning my walls and thinking "Really? Really?" and how I couldn't just defend it with "He looks really good doing those things?"

Then again, if I put up one more picture of Noah and Grace, they threepeat and they're not related--I suspect it doesn't count, though...

Why, consultant, are you not familiar with Visio? What is your job, if doing system diagrams never comes up, and you don't know where to get the "symbols" from? Jesus. If my boss finds out I'm doing this for you, he's docking your pay.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh Kat, I'm just getting home from work (and back into signal) and just heard. I gasped when I heard the town! So awful.

It doesn't count, ita. My kids can TOTALLY threepeat on your fridge!

It is awful about the shootings. I think everything is mostly calm there now, but yikes!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I didn't think Jolie looked bad, I just thought she looked better at the Golden Globes. But I loved her Golden Globes dress.

Art Crawl!!!

I think she was doing the pose because she thought it was funny.

Also, one of the student's whose leadership statements I am reading just said that the experience he gained was "incomprehensible." Hahahaha.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Seriously yikes, Kat. The SO sends peace wishes in your direction, the school's, and your folks.

Angelina is my total blind spot ever since Hackers. I just think she's so great.

Hah, sumi.

Man, it is super windy here. Classes today went really well, but the commute was apocalyptic. I doubt we'll have school tomorrow and I think they called it early today. The principal had us text her from the road to tell her what the conditions were like.

I need to haul firewood, and instead I ate lunch and had a case of the doanwannas, but I just looked out the window, and I can *see* the snow heading over the horizon. So I better get my ass out there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think my Jolie love came about when I watched an interview with her about the Oscars where she talked about just leaving after the show to go to In and Out. The people behind the counter asked, "what, they don't feed you?"

And they don't have food until after the show, but they prefer to just get takeout and go home. It struck her as funny to be standing in line at a burger joint wearing a ridiculous dress and jewels. When they do stuff like this, they just tell their kids they're going to work and they'll be home in a few hours. It made her kind of likeable to me, in that, "I don't know you and maybe you're a terrible asshole but that was a cute story so maybe you're cool" sort of way.

I think she was doing the pose because she thought it was funny.

It appears as though she thinks the whole idea of her being the most beautiful human on the planet funny, and sort of appalling, but it pays a lot of money.
