Me: Babe, you need to lose weight.
The Boyfriend: You know, in the olden days, bigger meant you were more prosperous.
Me: Tell that to Henry the VIII. He died because he was overweight.
The Boyfriend: Who's that?
Me: The dude who had six wives.
The Boyfriend: Oh, he was the one who married that Bologna girl!
Me: *headdesk* It's Boleyn! Anne Boleyn!
The Boyfriend: That's what I said. Bologna. *beams*

how to be happy
I don’t understand why people find it so difficult to be happy.
I understand sadness — I’ve been there before, I know its spot on the map, the heft and weight of it as it binds itself to my feet. I understand loss — I know how it feels when the person you love says “no”, when you are told you are not good enough, not pretty enough or smart enough, when you are...

what's in a story?
I just saw a call for submission for a steampunk anthology. Tempting, but the requirements made me LOL.

From McSweeney’s:
What concerned us most about The Newspaper was its lack of Wi-Fi. Eventually, however, we found this advantage to be overstated, even misleading. Engineers using The Newspaper typically did so 30 to 60 minutes a day. Afterward, they went outside, formed relationships, and took in what life had to offer. Those using Wi-Fi-enabled e-readers tended to stay on the...

Sacrifice
I have this working theory about a sacrifice to the gods (or god, singular, depending on which way you want to go with this). It’s one of those cosmic balance things where, if something goes awesomely right, expect that something will go awesomely wrong somewhere in the future. I think it’s fate’s way to address balance, because you can’t be happy all the time. (You...

Creamy Baked Fish and Potatoes
My cousin Laika and I ended up sorta kinda inventing this dish. :D It turned out really well — so well that I don’t have any photos because my boyfriend demolished the dish in about 3 seconds flat. It also works very well as leftovers because leaving it in the fridge allows the fish to soak up all the creamy goodness.
Ingredients:
500 grams white fish, steak-cut, filleted and...

Bad Romance: 10 TV Couples Who Should Break Up →
#1 Booth and Any Woman Other Than Brennan, Bones:
The fans who want Booth and Brennan together are more rabid than anyone, so any woman Booth dates is guaranteed to be the most hated lady on TV. Until Brennan comes around, Booth should just stay off the market.

It is a testament to my current obsession (Bones, if anyone’s been paying attention, LOL) that the first thing I thought about was “OMG, Brennan would totally want to to check out that awesome discovery because it’s a BONE!” >.< I need therapy, help.
