Tried to attach a sweet gif, but it's not letting me. Anyone have any advice on what I did wrong?

I made two pies this year: pumpkin (duh) and a tradtional apple with the lattice crust. Folks devoured all but a slice of the apple, but I still have a good 1/3 of the pumpkin left. So naturally, I had pie and […]

I've tried all the foods here except balut, Turkish delight, and alligator. But I've heard rattlesnake and alligator are similar, and I've eaten rattlesnake. And I never want to try balut. Marzipan is way more […]

Unless they can get Rider Strong (he grew up nicely), I have no interest. Who watched that show for Corey? It was alllll about Sean Hunter.

I’ve pretty much been plastering that all over the internet since I first saw it. And making everyone cool in my office watch it.

I had a very similar experience to you. Terrible bullies in junior high (one of them gave me my first and only concussion), but then I got to go to a 2000+ kid public school in the center of our city. So I was […]

Ditto. I came over from the site-that-shall-not-be-named when I decided I wanted good content again, and not blithering gossip and snark (I snark on my own time, in good fun, don’t get me wrong). There is just a […]

Just watched the premiere of Merlin and….hey it’s Davos Seaworth!

Also, anyone else notice how grown-up Mordred is way too old to fit into the timeline? He’s foxy though.

I’m an atheist Jew (did not grow up kosher) who lives in fake America, so i am going to google this to learn more. But when I first read it, I was like “hey, I’m on that diet!”

“Maker’s diet” mmmmmmmmm goood.

I fucking love this movie. One year, a friend of mine was David Bowie of Labyrinth, complete with extra padding in the crotch of the stretch pants.

Anecdote time: I live in a really nice neighborhood in […]

I am a bigger size than I was in high school, but I have a skirt I purchased at the Gap in 1998 that for some reason still fits me perfectly. Maybe I’ve stretched it out? But my Bratmobile shirt from the same era […]

I’m spending all morning working on yet another “audition” for the job I’m trying to get. This is the third document they’ve sent me to work on, and I’m getting a little antsy since this hiring process has been […]

After years of watching various (adult) roommates grow science projects in our fridges (ah, the joys of being a New Yorker), my one piece of advice is this — look in your fridge! Before you buy anything, look in […]

Hello, my name is redpensplease, and I am a Fall addict! It is my favoritest season — for the weather, the foliage, the food, the sweaters / the re-introduction of colorful tights into my wardrobe, the Halloween, […]

I have so, so many things i would tell young me if I could go back 10 years (aka when I went away to college).

1) Don’t have a serious boyfriend/girlfriend, and if you do have one, do not hole up in your dorm […]
