On It's Six O'Clock Somewhere
@ginalouise I don't mean to be rude, all linking to another blog here and such, but my other favorite place on the internet can fill your Walking Dead needs: http://videogum.com/398272/the-walking-dead-s02e02-is-there-an-animal-doctor-in-the-farmhouse/tv/recaps/

On The League of Ordinary Ladies
@candybeans ARE YOU ME? I live in LA, just said goodbye to grad school but have a job in the city, and half the things that come out of my mouth are Arrested Development references. Also, spiked hot chocolate would have been perfect last night, what with LA's brief flirtation with rain. Let's make friends?

On I Had a Stroke When I Was 26
The last section of this article hit me particularly hard. As a person trying to learn to manage a couple chronic illnesses which hit in my 20s, I think often about what I'm missing out on now, and what dreams I may have to give up on, either for the time being or for life.

On Have You Been Held Down and Menaced By Demons?
I have a sort of sleep paralysis like this, with the feeling of pressure, rather often, but for me it isn't malevolent for whatever reason. Instead, I frequently feel as if, in the state between dreaming and waking up, a cat is walking on my back. Whenever I wake up fully, I'm always disappointed that my cat still actually lives on the opposite coast, with my parents.

Warpaint is totally the best. And hilarious/cool/enviable live. I want to be them, man.

On The Tyranny of the T-Shirt Bra: Do You Live in Fear of Your Own Nipples?
Oh man, I am so late to this party, but I wish I could reply to every poster and exhort the importance of getting yourself fitted for a bra by someone who knows what they're doing. So many women wear the wrong size, and so many bras are nowhere near standard in terms of the size on the tag versus the actual "size" of the bra.
My extended family's old "family business" is a lingerie shop in the greater Detroit area, going back to the 1950s. So I have spent my life having old Greek women size up my chest and wrangle me into the right bra. But when they do it, the bra always fits comfortably and looks good, whether padded or not, and the issues like "phantom boobs" that some people were describing haven't been an issue, even though my chest is a little bit on the big side of things.
If any Hairpin readers are in the greater Detroit area, I will give you the address of my family store! And your breasts will thank you.
Also, it goes without saying perhaps that the crap Victoria's secret pretends are bras ought to be burned, and the earth where their factories once stood should be salted, ere that nothing else may grow there.

On Oh No, The Bachelor Is On Tonight
Is it naive of me to be surprised/angered that there is not a single non-white woman out of all 30 contestants? Jesus christ, American television.

On The League of Ordinary Ladies: Sasha, Sasha, Sasha!
@Rosemary McClure This is my question as well. Isn't chatroulette mostly a place where you have a 100% chance of seeing a stranger's penis?
