You all know that I love How I Met Your Mother. I have my issues with the show, though, and my main annoyance continues to be the metric ton of fat jokes that they’ve put out over the seasons. I covered this in my first in-depth HIMYM post, titled “How I Met Your Mother (And … Continue reading »
Watch out y’all, I’m about to get all political up in here. First, let me address the language I used for this post. The word “slut” can be used as an insult, yes, but I don’t take it like that. I don’t think there is anything wrong with me having control of my own body … Continue reading »
You guys know I love Jimmy Fallon a whole lot. I think he’s incredibly talented and funny, his show is one of my faves, and his monologues usually hit it out of the park…except for the whole tendency to tell fat jokes that aren’t even very funny. They’re usually aimed at people I don’t like very … Continue reading »
“…I have often wondered if I had the words that would do justice to her goodness, her wisdom, and her strength. In the life of every woman, there will always be the influence and teachings of one woman who stands supreme.” -The Expected One by Kathleen McGowan For me – as it is for so … Continue reading »
I found these on the streets of Napa – that city is full of exciting found art opportunities! They’re great reminders of what to focus on as you navigate the proverbial roads of life.
Usually, those words – “depression” and “anxiety” – label conditions that I have. I like that way of phrasing it, because it implies a sense of control for me. I have these things, yes, but they do not have me. Usually. For the past fifteen years, I have had these conditions. I am usually able … Continue reading »
I’ve noticed a somewhat disturbing trend in pop culture recently, wherein people suggest using two condoms at once (“double bagging”) for double the condom efficacy. Except that actually equals less protection, not more. Edited to add: Molly: Are you gonna be double bagging your junk on our honeymoon? Mike & Molly, season 2 episode 18 “Peggy … Continue reading »
I posted an update on my article “I Do Not Feel Betrayed When A Plus Size Model Loses Weight” which had some pretty scathing comments aimed at PLUS Model Magazine Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones. In my original post, I wondered whether this was some sort of joke, because it was hard for me to fathom that an … Continue reading »
UPDATE: Madeline Jones comments, explains that Radar.com misquoted her. See my new post (“Madeline Jones Responds, Radar.com Article Misleading“) for further info! Here’s her comment: Hi Corina, Radar Online absolutely misquoted me in this piece. When I was asked what types of comments we have received from our readers about Crystal Renn’s weight loss, I … Continue reading »
Last night’s episode was much better than weeks prior! Still not great compared to earlier seasons, but it did feel more like old times with gang. The Barney storyline was great – just what we would expect from him. Marshall and Lily’s long-term bets are perfect for their relationship, and Robin did the right thing. … Continue reading »
I guess these are kinda spoilery? Not sure. I am sure, though, that I don’t like where these plots are going. First, let’s review what Craig Thomas (executive producer) has to say about the craptastic ending of last week’s episode (which was, thankfully, not as craptastic as the entire episode 2 weeks ago): While it … Continue reading »
And so do a whole lot of other women. It’s hard for one little blog to make an impact, but I’m trying to do my part by sharing my story. Birth Control is NOT exclusively used for preventing pregnancy. It is also used for addressing medical concerns. Since employers/schools/etc don’t know what prompted the need for … Continue reading »
Or, as I like to call it, what tips are legit, and what are bullshit. Here’s what I’ve learned from a couple of years working both in an office and from home, and a year of working exclusively from home. Legit Tips: Figure out your optimum schedule. I’ve discovered that I’m most productive early in … Continue reading »
TheOatmeal gets it right – and requests that others “pirate the shit out of this animated gif”. Will do! I haven’t personally blacked out my site today, mostly because I can’t imagine that my tiny little blog will even be noticed amongst all the big names. But I have a solidarity banner on the top … Continue reading »
Tim Gunn is one of those celebs that I really want to hang out with on a regular basis. I mean, I want him to revamp my wardrobe and give me a makeover, but mostly I just want to hang out with him and laugh and chit-chat. Anyway, there’s a bit of controversy going on … Continue reading »
I did enjoy TLC’s new show, Big Sexy, quite a bit. But, it also bothered me at times. I give the show’s premiere episode an A minus! The ladies of Big Sexy remember the first time anyone called them fat. That insult sticks with you, and implies that your most distinctive characteristic is the size and … Continue reading »
Tonight is the premier of the new TLC show Big Sexy. It is about big, sexy ladies, living in NYC. I think that’s what it’s about at least, I’m still a little confused. They seem to be aiming for a plus size Sex and the City kinda deal, but reality, so who knows. It sounds like … Continue reading »
I know it isn’t indicative of great fame or good deeds done, but I think it represents the next step in my writing career – where I see stuff like this all the time! I really, really, really wanted any/all of my MTV condom articles to get passed around online, because I think they address … Continue reading »
Maybe you have a kid, and you suspect that they might be gay. Or maybe your kid just came out, and you responded in fear, or anger, or disbelief. Maybe they came out years ago, and things have never been quite right between you since then. Regardless, you still have time to handle this situation … Continue reading »
I’m not particularly religious, but I have read through the entire Bible. This happened when I was considering different religions, and also in college for some classes. Since I was a kid, though, this has been the part that really bothered me. Genesis, chapter 3, wherein Adam and Eve are punished for partaking of the … Continue reading »
I’ve been on a mission to determine if MTV is promoting condom use, safe sex, etc, and if not – why? I truly don’t understand. For further info, see my prior articles: “Does MTV Provide Condoms For Reality Show Castmates?” and “Update on MTV’s Real World Condom/STD/Pregnancy Contract Stipulations!“ This article on the MMAFA (Mixed … Continue reading »
In June, I wrote an article called “Does MTV Provide Condoms for Reality Show Castmates“? I’m still curious as to the answer, but I’m not sure what else to do towards discovering the truth. Ultimately I would like some answers straight from MTV, but I don’t think I’m high enough on the blogging food chain … Continue reading »
Reality TV is really, really easy to dislike – we all know this. I’m pretty tolerant of craptastic shows, movies, etc, but there are some that even I can’t handle. I’m talking to you, Teen Moms, Toddlers & Tiaras, and Real Housewives of any city! But I can’t take the high road, because I indulge … Continue reading »
Hey Sarah, I admit that I find you to be basically ridiculous, what with your playing the martyr card every chance you get, fame-whoring, not serving full terms that you’ve been elected to, shooting wolves, & trying to act like you’re a revolutionary woman in politics when women like Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, and Susan … Continue reading »
