@Richard Bo: yep, I really wish I'd paid attention in my maths and science classes back in school. Sigh.
I am a journalist working in a dying industry and aware that any day now my newspaper could fold underneath me. This, coupled with the tragic realisation that I should have spent my twenties doing something more useful, which might have led to a job with actual benefits and stability, as opposed to a job which may leave me unable to feed my kids does tend to leave me feeling a little bit down at times.
@AthertonMerriweather: it is indeed. When I first saw it I though oh it's rather sweet, then I realised that the reason I liked it was because it strongly resembles a dressing up dress of my mum's I had as a child. I'm a bit on the fence with it - like the structure and the 60s references but would have liked a different colour and I do think that Alexa can be too whimsical for words.
@hollygirl: oh absolutely I remember it, I just also remembered some snippy articles about it because of her background which seemed unfair at the time because I liked Cheap Date.
@hollygirl: wasn't that Bay Garnett who was also a socialite IT girl type. Or was her publication something else?
@cats420: Go Housing Works. I love Housing Works, they supply my books, my clothes, my shoes. I am not an ironic shopper but rather a broke one. There are lots of secondhand shops that have some pretty good stuff in my personal opinion.
@Diziet_Sma: True, I think the MTV show didn't exactly showcase her wit in the right way. She was great in Popworld. Also I don't know that she really deserves the IT girl dismissive tag, she's worked hard, she's not a socialite who gets free clothes. She always seems pretty down to earth.
@Diziet_Sma: Exactly. I might not buy her as a fashion goddess but she was great and very sharp when she presented Popworld
@AristotlesCrab: True although as someone who is permanently broke I tend to describe my shopping style as 'cheapskate'. Which you know translates I can't afford to shop anywhere that isn't second hand.
@Hexapus: completely, it drives me utterly insane to the point why I wonder just why I'm still watching.
@marciax3: I would stand on a table with a sign saying "WHY ARE ALL THE WOMEN DEFINED BY THEIR RELATIONSHIPS (OR LACK THERE OF) THIS SEASON. FFS RYAN MURPHY GIRLS DO WANT THINGS OTHER THAN BOYFRIENDS IN THEIR LIVES. NO REALLY, THEY DO."
Then I would sigh and sit down again, exhausted by the all-caps rage.

@nellienellie: ha - I'm sure I read it in a book when I was young, although maybe I just imagined that.
Somewhere a tea party slave is making use of that college stat to illustrate why Barack Obama is bad and Sarah Palin is good.
Y'see it was Sarah's empathiness that left her unable to graduate, while the cold-hearted Barack scaled the greasy poles of academe in his bid to control the American nation.

@bluebears: I agree. (She said, empathetically). No really I do actually, it's a subject that depresses me a great deal.
Don't be silly the rich don't have babies, they eat their young in order to keep their skin fresh.
@BlackCloudNurse: stop talking sense. Don't you know that there's a no-sense rule in mother threads. Good lord.
That blogger with the natural way to give birth, natural way to parent crap should quite attend a course on how to spend her time not being a judgmental witch.
I think this is a stupid issue personally. My daughter slept in my bed for the first 12 weeks because she was a pain in the arse who wouldn't sleep. Then she slept in a cot next to me because I was a lazy cow who didn't want to get out of bed. Now she sleeps in her room and occasionally wakes me up to get in if she has nightmares. My son slept in a cot in our room for the first eight months and now shares with my daughter. He can't come into our bed at night because unluckily for him he hasn't worked out h0w to get out of the crib.
Each to their own I say, I don't care how other people raise their kids and its none of their business how I raise mine.

@Ipomoea: don't worry I don't think Gap in the US is actually stocking this stuff, just Europe and the UK.
@lawlover: ha - I didn't know that, that's brilliant, and it does indeed make it even more funny.
I know its different in America but actually in the UK if you have a BA in Communications the one guarantee is that you won't get a job in journalism. (an MA is a different matter, but generally Media degrees in the UK are a bit of a joke).
