a strawberry tart.

"Have you ever lived alone?" As someone who has lived alone for *cough* more than a decade, some of these comments are blowing my mind. How could you be afraid of living alone? It's kind of THE BEST.

2012.05.03"We've been hearing a lot about the war on women, which is real enough. But there's also a war on the young, which is just as real even if it's better disguised. College graduates, then, are taking it on the chin thanks to the weak economy. And research tells us that the price isn't temporary: students who graduate into a bad economy never recover the lost ground. Instead, their earnings are depressed for life."

Dear future football stars: The NFL is about to destroy your life. "After negotiating your contracts, you both will surely buy a house in an affluent suburb where no 22-year-old would be happy living. Your new neighbors will be rich as well, facelifted, lipo-sucked, Xanaxed and dripping in diamonds, simply delighted to welcome you to the neighborhood."

2012.04.24"Last night on The Voice, Adam Levine had a plan. It was a crazy plan. Contestant Tony Lucca had made it to the quarter finals with a sort of gently burly masculinity that came out in songs like "In Your Eyes" and "Beautiful Day," but judge Christina Aguilera remained unmoved. Considering that she and Lucca spent time in the trenches together on The All New Mickey Mouse Club in the mid-1990s, this was a problem." I want to not watch this show but ugh, I TOTALLY AM.
