    Dear Car,

    You are an almost 13-year-old Taurus. I am putting $1400 into you because your front struts are toast, you need new front tires, and your oil gasket is leaking. This is your last warning. You pull any more shit, and I'm trading you in. Are we clear?

    Sincerely,

    Your Very Annoyed Owner

    @la.donna.pietra: I had to part ways with mine when she was twelve. Thermostat and parking brake were both borked and if I wanted to accelerate, she would *take a moment* and then *lurch*. Crabby old lady car, she was.

    I just found out that I get to go see the alma mater play tonight for free. It's against some U that I've never heard of, but I'm stilled pretty excited. It's impossible to get tickets normally, but I think it's finals week and they've released some student section tickets. GO ZAGS!

    @token_illiterate_commenter: It's true - I think that happened my senior year. That was quite the surprise. They're both ranked this year - it's nice for UP to finally have a real rivalry! Also, my BFF who is a GU grad got tickets to the GU/UP game and isn't taking me. I'm pretty jealous.

    I just went on wikipedia to look up some minor plot point in Pride & Prejudice and when I searched for "Pride & Prejudice" I was automatically redirected to the article on the Kiera Knightly movie, not the book. This made me very sad.

    Verbatim quote from student presentations in Gov. class tonight: "Until the 1960's, women were choosing to have "Klanden-Stine" abortions, which were preformed underground with "K-Nighting" Needles. Roe vs. Wade made this sort of abortion illegal, and you have to do it with a doctor."

    I'm pretty sure she didn't pass.

Turned out after the match, I asked to see her case. My opponent's example was Mussolini's fascism. She had been pronouncing it "mah-zuh-leening fax-eye-zum." I kid you not.

    Hi Jezzies!

    Anyone have advice for self treating a bad cold? I don't think it's anything else, hence viral, so I don't want to waste money going to a doctor. But my head is a balloon, my ears really hurt, and my nose is a faucet.

    Thanks!

    @portia_sue:
    1. Cold Eeze or Zicam. Zinc is proven to work.
    2. FLUIDS
    3. Vitamin C and Echinacea (available in Celestial Seasonings tea form, see next step)
    4. Hot tea with honey, as it is proven to soothe a throat.
    5. Alternate Tylenol and Ibuprofen every 3-4 hours or so.
    6. Avoid actual cold medicine unless you want to feel drugged.
    7. OTC Claritin D should clear up the sinus pain that is causing the ear pain.
    8. Avoid blowing the drippy nose as much as possible to keep from pushing mucus back into sinuses and worsening the ear pain.
    9. If you're home and no one can see you, stick kleenex in your nose tampon style to contain the drips without having to blow your nose.
    10. Sleep as much as possible, as your immune system works best when you're sleeping.
    11. Feel better fast!

    @funnyface: I've done wrong by blowing my nose too much. I'll definitely do the kleenex tampon up the nose thing. And I'll do hot tea with honey (can I add booze?). I think I have a CVS knockoff of Claritin, which I'll try. And I think I have Vit C somewhere. oh, and seriously, can I drink something before bed? I can't sleep because I can't breathe, and one drink usually helps a little.

    Thanks! I'm going to take a hot bath now, try to open my head up.

    @portia_sue: Green tea with honey is awesome when you're sick. Make sure you're getting plenty of your essential vitamins and nutrients, and try to avoid food-like substances and unhealthy foods (ramen, candy, cookies, really salty things) because eating them can trigger an inflammation response (especially when you're already sick) and make everything even puffier.

    @portia_sue: Throw every strong smelling thing you have in your kitchen (but nothing noxious) - herbs, tea, vinegar, etc - in a big pot. Add water. Put on stove. When boiling, turn down to simmer, place towel over head and pot (do not light self on fire) and lean over pot and inhale deeply through your nose. Courtesy of Grandma Plothole.

    I would also totally sell my soul for Afrin when I'm sick. Don't use it too much though or it backfires.

    I need some help... accepted an invitation to a formal wedding for this Saturday (eek!). I'm going with one of the groomsmen and will be seated with him at the head table (double eek!). I have my outfit set (as much as it will be), but I'm panicked about my hair. I'm a pony-tail, jeans, and t-shirt girl. I have armpit (sorry, but it's a reference point!) length light brown hair and bangs. What's appropriate? I can't afford a hairdresser, but I know I need to do SOMETHING with this rat's nest!

    It's cold in L.A. :(

    So, anyway. I have social anxiety disorder and mild agoraphobia. Currently, I am trying to find a job. I've gotten a hold of a lot of applications and such. The only thing I'm worried about is, well, the interviews. When I'm nervous/anxious I tend to sweat, get pale, and tremble. A lot. Is there anything I can do to stave off (at least) the sweating? It's really noticeable and I know it puts people off. My resume isn't really this grand thing, either, so I have to do well on these interviews. The only places I've "worked" are at my family's businesses and as a TA at an elementary school (the only reason I got that job was because of, erm, parental forces). I've also done a bunch of volunteering at hospitals and animal rescues. If anyone has any suggestions on how not to get nervous at interviews I'll be really thankful.#groupthink

    @Evie Havok: First of all, I'm in LA and cold too :( I'm huddled by my space heater and still chilly. Secondly, I'm looking for a job too and feel your pain.

    As far as interviews, it's stupid but I practice being confident and animated in the mirror and using those power words/phrases like "experience delegating responsibility to junior executives" and crap like that. I find the more I get used to acting confident the easier it is in person. I'm a nervous sweater too.. I just load on the deodorant/antiperspirant and wear something that won't show it. Good luck to you, lady! PM if you want to commiserate more.

    @Evie Havok: I don't know if it's possible to not get nervous during interviews. The best advice I have is to be yourself and if you start getting overly nervous just remind yourself that it's no big deal if you mess up. I always try to remind myself that the worst thing that could happen is that I don't get the job, which sucks, but isn't entirely Earth-shattering. There are always other interviews and no one is going to know what happened in your previous interview. As for the sweating, perhaps carry a washcloth in your purse and dab yourself off before the interview (if you need to). Good luck!

    @Evie Havok: I have interviewed a lot and I still get nervous. So, first know that 99% of everyone gets nervous when interviewing.

    The obvious things to do are be prepared and trick yourself into thinking you don't "really" need the job. But, if you have social anxiety, I would really recommend trying Xanax. Half of a pill can really help take the edge off. I use it for flying but I have also used it socially (I also have social anxiety) and for interviews.

    I do have a lot of tips on juicing up resumes and cover letters, but I will spare you here :-) Send me a PM if you want.

    @Ailatan: If you're into proto-hipster gloria then I'd say "Reality Bites", if you're into quirky French romance I'd say "Love Me If You Dare". My favorites change every day though.

    @Ailatan: Rushmore, Run Lola Run, anything by Christopher Guest, anything by Jean-Luc Godard (but esp. Pierrot le fou and Breathless), The Double Life of Veronica, so many more!

    What do you feel like?

    (Thank you for this thread by the way, instantly lifted my mood)

    @Ailatan: Everything @PaigeTurner suggested is totally solid and if you're looking for a departure The Birdcage is always good. Broken English is alright, I really liked Away We Go when I saw it and personally can't wait till Medicine for Melancholy shows up in my Netflix queue. Just depends on what you're in the mood for. Can't go wrong with 90s teen romances.

    Oh, I watched Christmas on Mars (by The Flaming Lips...what kind of hipster am I?) don't watch that...ever.

    True about 90's romcoms.

    @Ailatan: That's what I said! They also tried to lure me in with Fred Armisen and Adam Goldberg, and I said "Ok". Then, a marching band on Mars turned into vaginas and I didn't know what to do with myself.

    @Ailatan: I will give you the music, and the ending...the ending pulled it all together for me and was actually kind of sweet and made me not totally hate it. I would probably watch it again...but I would never actively suggest it to anyone. While I may think Vagina Marching Bands are all the rage...I can't be completely sure someone else wouldn't come to my house and sock me in the face with a Furby after seeing. But, now I know you like it, and somehow that makes me like you more.

    I put a lot of stock in people's taste in movies.

    @Ailatan: I love Once, but others have mixed feelings. It's super slow, not much plot, but if you're in the right mood, it sucks you in.

    And I cried at the end. Which is always nice, if you need to cry.
