On Look, We're Gonna Talk About the Gatsby Trailer Now
@Carrie Ann I didn't read it until grad school. That was the perfect timing.

On In the Walls
The house at the end of Devil in the White City--where the serial killer shoved the kid up the chimney and buried some of him under the floorboards--is in my neighborhood, a short walk from my house.

On In Case of Snakes
@Errin Julkunen Pedersen@facebook Kiss the Girls? Totally ruined Westley from The Princess Bride for me, and I didn't even watch the whole damn thing. (And I think the somehow involved milk, somehow.)

@The Kendragon Your friend has a terrible case of bad taste in men. Several of my friends and most of the women in my family have it, too. It is usually incurable, sadly.

@beeline96 I place one hand gently in the middle of my husband's back when he starts up and leave it there for a minute or so. This wakes him up just enough to stop the snoring, but not all the way. It almost always works.

On The Reproductive Quadratic Equation
@Kristen Abstract speculation and discussions of one's personal preferences really, really don't belong in the same conversation. The world will be better off without *my* children, who would probably be hopelessly fucked up. That it would also be better without the children of a number of terrible parents I know personally probably isn't in question, either. None of this has anything to do with whether one person ought to or ought not to create offspring.

@Third Wave Housewife My husband and I have both been called "selfish" to our faces by relative strangers when asked--rudely--when we plan to have kids and answering honestly, "never." On multiple occasions.

@disgruntled co-worker Good luck. I'll be 38 this summer and have been married for over six years. You've got at least five more years of fielding ridiculously intrusive questions, probably more.

@parallel-lines Commenting late here, too, but there's a very big difference between people who do no want children and identify as child free, like WaityKatie (and me!) and people who are ambivalent or reluctant or uncertain. You're talking about people who haven't decided yet, not people who do not and will not reproduce.

The idea of listening to Tobey Maguire narrating anything, even for a minute, makes me full-body cringe. I don't know if I'll be able to sit through this if there's much voice-over, despite liking pretty shiny things.
