    I’ve spent a not insignificant part of my day looking at clothes on the internet. Please tell me about your recent internet shopping scores so that I can enjoy the feeling without actually buying anything.

      I got a sweater/sweatshirt hoodie from Title Nine for $30. It was originally $89. It’s a bright greenish color and I love it.

      I also bought a dress from Modcloth that's pretty but so unflattering to my figure I had to laugh. It was tight in the wrong places and so low cut my nipples were escaping.

      I bought one of those Phillips light alarm clocks that gawker media keeps pushing on us through daily deals. But I picked up a used one for half price on eBay. I’m so excited about. After that and the new (to me) car and purse I bought myself for my birthday, im trying not to buy anything else ever again. I desperately do not need or want any more stuff in my house.

    Hey Jezzies, whatcha drinking? Odd Side Ale’s Fight Milk Stout for me! It’s a stout that is “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” themed, so I just had to get it. And it’s not bad! So my paper got graded and I got a ::drumroll:: 100% The professor said he was looking forward to mine the most, wasn’t disappointed, and that I was the top of the class! I was expecting an A, but not that high of an A! Also finished my second to last exam for the class today, it’s on the Reagan 80s, and man is my class filled with dumbasses. When I did the evaluation, I had to give high marks to the professor but admit that I got absolutely nothing out of any of my classmates. I didn’t say they were stupid, exactly, I just said that they made it hard for me to find things to respond to for my weekly posts.

    And now for something completely different, here’s another selection from Mindymoo’s Mix Tape. It’s a song from the fantastic Electric Light Orchestra, off of their concept album El Dorado.

      I’m having a Spotted Cow after having a Surly Hell (lager) with dinner. We had ribs. It’s stupidly warm here today so I went running earlier. Now, I want to sleep after beer, meat, and shower.

    Hey Jezzies, on Monday I have my first meeting with a divorce lawyer. This may get contentious and the cost is scaring me. But my ex is expecting me to roll over like I always used to, because he was ‘always right’, and I can't do that anymore. How I still hate that phrase. Anyways, any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Jezzies! So I was sitting on the subway last night and overheard an actual MRA talking. It was amazing. It was a guy talking to a girl he was with, though no idea of their relationship. He talked about how only men take risks in romance because women can call the cops if they don’t like his style in hitting on her, so therefore “Guys take all the risk.”

    He tried to use as an example the fact that he thinks one of his female coworkers hits on him at work, and will give him light touches and she can get away with it, but he’d be the one risking being accused of sexual harassment if he slapped her on the ass, so clearly it’s men who are the ones at risk.

    He then continued by talking about how he smacks guys on the ass and that’s a bro thing but he can’t do it to a woman because he’d have to ask permission first, so societally men have all the risk because they’re the ones initiating touches. She was just trying gently talk him down. I have no idea why she was indulging him. They left before she throttled him.

    What craziness have you overheard lately?

    Edit: “It’s a bro thing” was an actual quote.

    My spouse went to 3rd shift recently and our schedules are all kinds of fucked up. I made a nice dinner and I'm listening to him snore and waiting for him to wake up to eat. I'm not mad, he stayed up all day and did fun stuff with me, just bored and excited for SNS. So send me your Netflix, Hulu, HBO, anything that you can watch on demand with a generous cable subscription recommendations.

      Also does anyone have any tips for dealing with a dog with a cracked toenail? Mine cracked two last night in an accident that was mostly my fault and I feel fucking terrible. She won’t put any weight on her foot and she’s extreamly top heavy so she looks like a drunk trying to get around. I spoke with the vets office and they said we’d probably just have to give it time and to check in a few days if she's not any better.

      Ugh, I’m getting ready to return to nights, so I can empathize! When I’m bored at all hours and the normal people are sleeping, I like to watch The Americans on Amazon Prime, and I recently started catching up on early aughts HBO series that I was too poor to watch at the time - The Wire and Big Love being the most recent. Good luck to you, it’s hard to make that work, but it can be done!

    Guys I am so upset!

    So when i first moved in to my appartment in November I was paying 450 a month. Then after two months my roommate said I could just pay 400 because I do all the dishes and clean the bathroom and stuff. Today i found out our total rent is only 800 (I thought it was 900) and he was letting me pay more than him. When he lowered it I thought he was paying a little extra because I was doing extra around the house. Turns out we were paying the same and I felt like he was doing me this big favour.

    I had the stomach flu over the weekend and I was feeling really guilty I couldn’t clean the kitchen (because I couldn’t get out of bed) Now I just feel fucking angry.

      If it makes you feel better; I have been on the phone with my phone service provider for over two hours, as I am every single month. I am bleeding hundreds to this company, and they keep promising to lower my bill and threatening a charge if I leave them. And the bill never gets lowered. I feel so ripped off right now, and so powerless. Handed over from one department to the next; and never any resolution. Promises from one department, reneged by the next. Half the time I am just disconnected.

      Last month, I finally negotiated a better deal, and the ordinary bill came right on through...

      When I called, the service representative, today, told me that it had been a ‘discussion’ and not a confirmed deal.

      It makes me feel so damned powerless.

    I have an appointment at Ye Olde Crotch Doc on Monday and I am less than thrilled. So I’m watching Age of Ultron and eating a lazy dinner. Paired with more avoidance of cold weather with tea. And Twitter. I’m stepping a little back on FB because it’s a hellhole.

      Your beautiful dinner made me look at that cold slice of pizza I was about to eat (it’s almost 0100 here in England) with sadness and shame. (Still ate it though.)

      Ye olde crotch doc made me laugh though - there’s not much that can make them pleasant, is there?
