That would be every night, unless Mr. Woolie decides to cook. I dream of being able to afford to order Nutrisystem so I can be skinny like Marie Osmond.

Morrissey (Almost) Reveals His Arsenal (NSFW) →
Have you ever wondered what Morrissey looks like nearly nude? Thanks to the inner sleeve of Mozzer’s single for “Paris,” your fantasies involving him, and his backing band, wearing nothing but a few inches of vinyl can have actual images to go along with them. The (probably NSFW) shot after the jump.

I’ve been making it a point to watch weird-ass movies, lately. You may (or may not) have recalled that last week-end was particularly stimulating, with some of the more… visceral entries from Japan’s film canon gracing my nightmares for days afterward. Well, Tumblr, I...

Okay, so the boss just sent out a company-wide email about the upcoming reorg, and sent it to everyone in the office except me.
This either means that my boss forgets that I exist, or the upcoming reorg does not include me.
Both are bad.
I’m sure it was a simple mistake and nothing to be worried about!

She looks like a real woman and I didn’t even mind the mom jeans.
And how horrible is it of people to even criticize her because she doesn’t look like the typical anorexic celebrity? I mean, really, how does someone sit there and pass judgement on somebody’s weight? How is that relevant to their lives? Does it do anything for their self-esteem to attack someone’s weight? Where...
