She was fortunately alone when she discovered that dry-scrubbing a temporary tattoo works as a painful yet effective depilatory.

I can’t help but think that, were snot to be glittery by nature, people would be less shy about wiping it on their sleeves.

Thank you, Netflix!

I will admit that the note I wrote to Netflix customer service regarding their decision to kill their Profiles feature was probably far more ire-tainted than it needed to be. In fact, while I still believe that their attempt to do away with this beloved-by-the-fringe functionality was ill-informed and lamely defended (especially when a good majority of its users seemed to be tech-savvy enough to see thru the smoke), I was shocked at my own wrath. Anger management being another topic altogether, however…

I would like to thank Netflix for taking the flood of subscriber comment to heart and reversing their plan. Outside of this recent kerfuffle, I have had nothing but good experiences with Netflix: Their selection is top-notch, they have fantastic customer service, and they are tons cheaper than cable. I am glad that my family and I can continue to get what is not available legally anywhere else, and hope to add the new Roku box to our arsenal sometime soon.

Esther felt that she was all-thumbs at life and therefore, lest she ruin it for everyone, she decided to divorce herself from it entirely.

There’s a word we need: “Disembard”. Or, even more importantly, “Embard”. Our world could use a bit more embardment.

Do long-defunct bands really find joy in rehashing the same shite that made them famous 20 years ago? Or is it the money?
