The main problem with New Jersey
Is that I’m alone and hungry and out of wine, and nothing is open because I’m in a vacation town off season.
I am sitting in my hotel room drinking wine and watching hulu instead of trying to understand accomplice liability for Crim Law, obviously. I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy (feel free to make fun of me forever), and gotta say, I am digging the scene where some jerk tells Kepner that she got the job he wanted because she’s a woman and maybe slept with the doctor who gave it to her...
New Jersey is terrible.
They won’t let you pump your own gas, you have to have a badge to be on the beach ($50 deposit at the hotel for one), you can’t buy wine at the convenience store, there are 10 tolls to get anywhere, and people are jerks (not everyone, obviously. There are nice people here including friends and family of mine. But there are a lot of jerks). It’s also famed for being ugly, which...

This actually sounds like a decent margarita.

No, it’s cool, I appreciate it! Also, the fact that I’ve asked 12 people about it has convinced me that even if it is totally fine, I am going to worry too much about it not being fine to be comfortable in the dress in that situation anyway.
Verdict on the dress
I think I’ve gotten feedback from 11 people. So far I have one “I don’t know,” one “hell no,” and 9, “yeah, that’s totally fine and super cute”s.
So I might just go with the dress I’m less enthusiastic about for fear that the bride or someone in her family will agree with the one “no,” since that’s all that really...
Wedding fashion etiquette?
Hey friends, I fell in love with this dress today. It looks good on me, is a great length, covers up my bacne, and has pockets. Check it out: dress
Question: I don’t know have much experience with wedding fashion etiquette. Is there too much white there to wear it to a wedding? What if I wore a dark cardigan over it?
Fishes!
Mike and I are officially contractually bound to each other for the next year. I mean, we’ve made sure that if necessary, we are financially able to split up before then, because we don’t want to ever be in a situation where we’re staying together because we can’t afford to break up. We’re not that reckless. But both our names are on a lease for May 18th 2012 to...

I want a caterpillar CHANGE poster.

Finally!
Transfer papers are signed. The apartment is for sure ours, and the lease will be drawn up by Tuesday, so all we have to do on May 18th is pick up the keys!
:D
The never-ending saga of getting this apartment is almost over. All apartment managers have all the forms they need, my buddy has been approved to sublet Mike’s place, and all that remains is for the manager here to review and sign off on everything, and the assistant manager said everything looks fine. I’m a worrier, so I’m not going to break out the champagne until she has...

THANK YOU.
Okay, don't judge me
but I sometimes watch Grey’s Anatomy lately when I need something mindless going on in the background.
WHY ARE ALL THE FEMALE SURGEONS WEARING EARRINGS ALL THE TIME?! I mean, sure, this is not the show’s least realistic thing, but I couldn’t wear earrings in the BAKERY for fear it would end up in the food, and I didn’t even work in production. I mean, come on.
People...
I hate you, Tucker Max.
And I HAVE read some of your stuff, and it IS anti-woman. Lots of women subscribe to sexism, too, because that is how our culture trains us all to be, and that doesn’t make sexism pro-woman, so fuck you.
This, and this. (Not linking to Tucker Max, but to Feministe’s summaries of the situation. They deserve the traffic and he doesn’t.)
Right behind your friend, crippling anxiety.
Oh, stress eating.
You are always there for me.
