On The League of Ordinary Ladies: Short Dates

AHH. You Did Well. He graded you on your date?

Some people believe my sister and I are not biologically related? Even though we are. They insist one of us is adopted because we look very different. THANKS GUYS, I think we know the truth though.

On Game of Spoons

The comment on the article may be one of the most intelligent internet comments I have ever read! (outside the 'pinosphere) It says it's odd that this experiment was done with Indian food, because it's typically eaten with hands and not with utensils. INTERESTING.

@angelan AH WHERE! I am studying in Italy right now. Actually I leave in less than two weeks. But you will have a fantastic time. Eat all the food and if you see frutti di bosco gelato, GET THAT STUFF IN YOUR MOUTH!

On Why Do We Still Live Here, in This Repulsive Town?

"Good Woman" by Cat Power is excellent when you know you have to leave someone that isn't good for you, as much as it hurts... "And this is why I am leaving
And this is why I can?t see you no more
This is why I am lying when I say
That I don't love you no more

"Braille" by Regina Spektor, which has maybe not much to do with breakups but is SO FUCKING SAD. Oh the number of tears I have shed to this song.

The album Dog Problems by the Format, I think, is a great emotion chart of post-breakup feelings... from really upset and wanting an explanation to saying, FUCK IT YALL, I am GOOD and if you don't want me anymore you can just LEAVE and I am OKAY WITHOUT YOU.
("If Work Permits" is this "peace out bitch" song and oh my god do I love it)

Jens Lekman also has some nice mopey songs, and I am a wee bit embarrassed to admit the Death Cab that has played in my moments of heartache.

But, "Graceland" by Paul Simon might be the number one heartbreak song. "Everybody sees you're blown apart, everybody feels the wind blow." Damn right, Paul.

@olivebee It was SO GOOD. I laughed a lot, and then for bonus points, laughed at every Law and Order title screen/"chung chung" cut take.
