COME ON.
I am an Oscars apologist. I dress up every year, I watch as many nominated films as I can, I buy into the dog and pony show. I bite my tongue and breathe deeply when others call them irrelevant, out of touch. I accept the politics as a necessary evil. I let the Gwyneths and the Sandras slide, because I’m willing to suspend disbelief to enjoy the show. This year?
Oh, this...

Unrelated, The Iron Lady is a TERRIBLE MOVIE. So terrible. So many montages. So boring. I guess this should be two posts, but you know what? It was so bad it doesn’t deserve its own post. TAKE THAT, Iron Lady.

SIU clears police in death of ‘gentle giant’ →
But of course the SIU cleared police in the killing of Charles McGillivary. Of course they did! Isn’t that the job of the SIU? To clear police of any wrongdoing, ever, no matter the circumstance?
Doesn’t matter that they had the wrong guy - he “roughly fit” the description of the person for whom they were looking. Doesn’t matter that he couldn’t respond...

We have these literary heroes on the Internet. They are, to us, celebrities. They embody all the silly, romantic ideals we have of writerly types who live in Manhattan. To correspond with them is to feel somehow validated. And the very easiest, most surefire method to begin correspondence with a male writer is to appeal to their vanity. You are intimidatingly hot, one might say. And if you...

Yeah, but they don’t have the same stuff for sale! I actually think I might have solved this with an ebay purchase though. Cross your fingers, Internet!

we do not ship to Canada at this time
My kiddo is getting one present from me this year – a sewing machine. Well, she was supposed to be getting a sewing machine. The one I want does not exist in Canada and cannot be shipped to Canada. UGH. I’m about ready to give up universal healthcare in exchange for amazon.com shipping to Canada. What am I going to do now?!?!?
I just want to be cool.

story of my life
me: I have this weird crush on him and I can’t explain it. friend: Eww, him? Really? What is wrong with you? me: I know! It’s so weird. I see him, I know he is gross but I just LOVE him. friend: Ohhhh nevermind, I know why you like him. He said no to you that one time remember? Textbook JL! me: Oh, right. Yeah, I guess that’s it.

Some new praise for Ivyland:
“Ivyland is a harsh, spastic novel about drug-addled misfits clawing their way through a wrecked future that feels disconcertingly familiar. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s also got evil caterpillars, flung jellyfish, great prose, new drugs, sharp jokes, a stolen ice cream truck and a miracle tree.” —Justin Taylor

Subway groping prompts police warning →
Awesome, the TTC continues its strategy of NOT informing the public about the sexual assault suspects roaming their trains and streetcars. If the CBC didn’t routinely report these incidents nobody would ever know until it happens to them.
