Hello, non-existent Livejournal community. I spent the morning at a discussion of the gender pay gap as part of my job at a social justice-y non-profit and then as I was browsing my social media sites and getting a non-stop barrage of infuriating news about the many ways in which our glorious leader is destroying this country, I was like, "Is there ( Read more... )

I was in New York City for the better part of last week. I didn't see the Empire State Building (which I keep wanting to call the Eiffel Tower, because I secretly wish I had gone to Paris), the 9/11 Memorial (it was really far away!), or the Statue of Liberty (I saw it from the plane, does that count?), but I did see Jim Parsons and Raúl Esparza in ( Read more... )

You guys, The Normal Heart. What a fantastic and ( Read more... )

James Scott is leaving Days of Our Lives! This is terrible news for me! Even though I can hardly blog about anything else, I barely watch Days of Our Lives anymore and what little Days of Our Lives I do watch is mostly James Scott as E.J. related. Perhaps this is actually good news for me as I can now stop watching this dumb show ( Read more... )

Lets gab about TV, okay? At one point I was going to attempt to gab about Days of Our Lives, but it is hard to get excited about a show that regularly features a character carrying around a bag of shredded paper (INTRIGUING!), a character whose entire personality is "I have a pile of fake ID's!"

Are we all in agreement that obsessing over that Future Islands performance on David Letterman is the only thing we should collectively be doing at the moment? I want to live in this video forever. Like, I think David Letterman can just stop booking bands because these guys won the most amazing performance on David Letterman award that no one was ( Read more... )
