I also hate CMR. However, I think in Spokane it’s not just a matter of the right candidate but public support. The area outside of Spokane proper, and huge chunks of Spokane itself, is conservative. The fifth […]

I think it’s also common that there are cleanliness issues that one person cares about more than the other person (or even realizes that they could exist), like dusting the blinds or cleaning out light fixtures or […]

I was a snot about Gatsby when I read it in high school because a friend of our family English professor mentioned that it gets taught a lot in high schools because it’s “easy to teach,” which I interpreted to […]

I agree with it being a little icky to call young women “things,” but I think since it has dual meaning, referring also to the underwear/bras/t-shirts/etc. they’re trying to sell, it’s not out and out awful (for […]

Good topic for discussion, AA! I might soon be an “expert” in Modernist American poetry, but it’s totally possible that a person without the degrees I (will) have will be MORE of an expert on a particular poem or […]

I unironically and un-trendily like a lot of stuff from my childhood like My Little Pony. Now I guess there’s a new My Little Pony show and they’re popular again in a sort of weird, self-aware way? I don’t know […]

I have been lucky–I think when I had random roommates usually I was the bad one. I had an ongoing house-wide conflict one year in college when three of us thought the house was unlive-ably freezing and the two […]

Claudia was a mess. She didn’t listen well, either. The “Ask the Price” advice is good in a general sense: know the details of what the client wants AND the details of what you’re providing. Especially if that’s […]

I finished! I didn’t end up focusing on what I’d planned (like usual) and I struggled more than usual, but I did write 50k words that I could keep typing at when the creative impulse appears, so that’s a fun […]

I like the idea of having a “signature” scent, but I just love variety too much to wear the same fragrance all the time. Maybe I should have a signature note in all my smells. Fragrance is hard.

I'd add that if you're going to be involved in other people's traditions, maybe get someone to tell you about them as a heads up. Some of our own traditions we just assume are what everyone does, when they're […]

My boyfriend and I are doing dinner one night at his family's celebration and another night with my family. My mom is taking this opportunity to skip turkey and stuff–she finds making the same meal boring–so […]

I've also heard the theory that women in positions of power generally come to them with a lot more difficulty, so they're less likely to risk them. It's not super uncommon for powerful men to come from places […]

Probably occasionally someone will notice that it’s basically the same as Green Bay’s QB Aaron Rodgers. I wonder what it would be like to share a name with a famous person. Total google anonymity!

I don’t. I have a LinkedIn page, but no blog or anything. I worry that any ideas I put out now will sound really amateur in a couple of years. So I haven’t done anything. Not sure if that’s the solution…

I’ve not done it, in part because people I know who do it tend to be obnoxious about it/paleo eating. My concern besides cost is safety–it sounds like your gym made you take some classes to check your form, which […]
