On I've Become an Amazing Mom in the Six Hours I've Been Sober
might have been funny about sleeping pill mom, given that probably more people read Sunday Styles (admit it!) than Salon.

On How to Quit Your Job
resist the temptation to write or tell your boss/superior/colleague everything that is wrong with them and the company and that's why you're leaving. Unless they ask for it, it will just sound like sour grapes and you will leave with a bad rep. No one learns from their mistakes, so don't try to point them out.
(learned the hard way, obviously)

On Beirut, After Osama
it's cool to hear your perspective and you should definitely be writing about it.. but do yourself a favor and take out at least half of your adjectives when you're editing.

On Understanding Your Unemployed Friend
@Kim L@twitter Wouldn't it be better to get advice on how to get a job from someone who has one than who doesn't? But I guess the unsolicited part might be the main problem.

On You Sneeze, Therefore You Are
I agree, and wish only to add that it's 10x worse when it's a dude (they are out there, and god help us if we end up in bed with one of them).

thanks for that Tyler. I agree, and I am also fine with going back to yesterday when I had never read that blog.

On All the Ways That "Waiting for Superman" is a Fraudulent Piece of Propaganda
well, I think that's the thing (and Ravitch would agree) - some small number of charter schools are doing a great job. But a lot of what they are doing is not telling students that they are bound to fail, plus they are doing it with all these fresh societal resources (not just $$ but media attention, community eagerness etc). When they then turn that model around on existing public schools, and hammer home over and over again how public schools are failures and "devastating", it compounds the problem - treating those students, as you said, as unlikely-to-survive purple blobs.

On 'The Hunger Games': Bloodless, Sexless and Not Very Hungry
@cherrispryte you are so right about the shaky cam. I thought i was going to hurl for the first like 30 mins, especially the reaping. I also thought the camera work really took away from the intensity of fighting, with all the fuzzy closeups instead of just seeing arrows hit flesh or people hitting or whatever.
