I bet River's hair is up for the entirety of The Eternity Clock because if it was down it'd be too much awesome for the graphics of the game to handle.
Indeed. Her hair is amazing - I would give anything to have hair that awesome.
Why are the law school equivalents of Booger and Lewis sitting next to me having an inane conversation about 80s metal while I try to read?
I am so sick of my parents being passive aggressive with me
Every single time we get in an argument, they’re all “Well, we won’t talk to you anymore then, if that’s what you want.” Which is such bullshit since I have never once said that to them in my life. It’s so manipulative - It’s an empty threat and it’s not as if they can really think that’s what I want. They just can’t seem to understand that we can have a loving relationship even if we don’t agree all the time and sometimes say hurtful things to each other.
But no, they’d rather that I never, ever contradicted them or got mad at them, or, you know, had an independent thought that they disagreed with.

That’s pretty - Hayden is more like a creamsicle coral color. I don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for, or if you wanted something closer to Macbeth, but orangey….
Damn, I just gave my Zoya Shawn to my sister for nothing!
I remembered to wrap the tips of my nails this time! So we’ll see if that does any good. On the downside, it feels a little weird and I keep wanting to pick under my nails, even though it barely goes half a mm around the edge.
Wearing this polish, but it’s too dark in my room to take a photo, so this is someone else’s:
(Zoya Zara)
My nails are so long and pretty right now. On the downside, I can’t get lip balm out of the little round tub anymore without making a mess of it.
I really, really want this color.

It’s a 1970s show about veterinarians in the English countryside in the 1940s, and it is strangely compelling. Based on the James Herriot books, if you know them.
That’s funny that you would mention that, because one of my roommates has just started watching this, and…
They show that episode! Seriously, part of the fascination of the show is how much real veterinary work they do on live animals. I sometimes wonder if it was ethical, since the people who ostensibly do all of this are just actors. Still, it’s really a great adaptation.
I also read the books also as a kid - my mother grew up with a lot of British lit from that era, and I was obsessed with animals, so I lived on James Herriot and Gerald Durrell for much of my childhood.

Hecatombs ftw!
I am so glad that you are my friend on tumblr. I need someone outside of my particular academic bubble who gets the random ancient stuff.
One minute I'm reading 18th century legal commentaries and the next a book on Ancient Greek animal sacrifice.
My academic life is weird.

Holy shit, I didn’t know about Fassbender beating his ex-girlfriend in 2009 until five minutes ago. I will now keep from reading any of the comments on the (2010) TMZ article because I’m pretty sure they will only…
I have a feeling that people’s reaction to this and their reaction to, say, Chris Brown, were very, very different. Just sayin’.
Blehhhh. I need to just stop eating sugary stuff.
Ever since I had my appendix out sugary food really upsets my stomach - anything more than a little jam or something like that makes me feel horrible. So of course tonight I went to a friend’s birthday party and ate a huge piece of chocolate cake, and now I am miserable.
NYT - "Meatless in the Midwest: A Tale of Survival" →
nytimes.com
This really does not apply to Minneapolis or Minnesota in general. I can’t substantively speak for other Midwestern cities though.
I’m just going to leave this without further commentary.
Jesus. There is so much that’s fuckin’ WRONG about this article. I don’t even know where to start.
Pfft, I won’t. I’m just going to say that carnivores have NO issue with the fact that “meat” is muscle and fat and tendon and all that other shit. NOT.A.DAMN.ISSUE.AT.ALL.
My hometown, small town in Iowa, has several restaurants and only a couple are really worth eating at. Every one of the worthy ones has vegetarian options from pasta to portabella burgers to fish (always fish, which I know isn’t “technically” vegetarian). And almost any decent restaurant can throw together a bean/vegee concoction if you ask nicely enough.
The reason meat is so prominent on menus? Maybe because it is was, is, and probably always will be sustenance for humans—a small amount goes a long way for energy and to fill your stomach for a fair amount of time. For many people, being a vegetarian is a choice* and gee, last time I checked, if your choices make life difficult, you either suck it up or change your choices.
*this does not apply to people who obviously have medical/health conditions that force them to adhere to dietary restrictions.
PS—VERY FEW places cook with lard anymore. The most prominent place you’ll find it is in Mexican restaurants because lard makes those tortillas and beans AMAZEBALLS!
Obviously I will go into it…I just couldn’t stop myself!
Ok, all I want to say is that it frustrates me to no end when people act as though fish is somehow a vegetarian option. It’s not even just not “technically” vegetarian. It is not vegetarian at all! If you eat fish you’re not vegetarian. I think everyone should be able to decide on whatever diet they think is best for them, but fish are still animals, and eating them is not being vegetarian.
Colbert Leads Huntsman in S.C. →

So this happened/is happening.
I’ll be honest: I’d vote for Colbert over Obama.
I am actually really unclear as to what Colbert actually believes about anything. He is in character pretty much all the time!
STFU, Conservatives: So, wait. →

The premise of “Work It” is that men can’t get jobs because women take all the jobs so these men dress up like women to get jobs selling pharmaceuticals to doctors because doctors are men and will only buy medicine from women who are beautiful? Because there…
This totally ignores the existence of the hottest drug rep ever, Burton Guster.
WOAH SHIT! When did this happen? I’ve been mostly off line for work stuff for a few days. :(
It was totally sudden. Monday night I had a stomach ache and felt shit all Tuesday until I gave in and went to Urgent Care. They basically just shunted me to the ER and by midnight I was CT’d and in surgery. I came home this morning. It was all over really quickly and I actually feel a million times better. While I was in hospital I was on 4ccs of morphine and STILL felt like shit, so the soreness from this really minimally invasive surgery (I had laparoscopy) is not bad at all.
if anyone was wondering, i am home and well and on percocet after an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy.
yay drugs.
