On Ask Polly: Why Are People Such Assholes?
Damn. This makes me happy that she's the advice columnist here, and not me. I'd probably be like, "It sounds like you overreact to everything, and fuck if I know how to cure that," which would be entirely unhelpful, and so again; good thing someone else does this job. Does it well, too.

On Ask Polly: I Can't Resist Great Sex With My Crazy Ex!
I'm pretty sure that a "caution" sign popping up in your outbox does indeed mean the piece never got sent. So try sending it again. Mind you, I know that wasn't really the thrust of the question...

On Dunkin' Donuts Finally Bringing Its Glamor To Southern California Strip Malls
My confusion about this post is this: Dunkin' Donuts already has many stores on the west coast, and has for decades. So much so that they've already gone through a boom-and-bust, particularly when the equally-overhyped Krispy Kreme finally made it here: lots of Dunkin' franchises became locally owned businesses. And now that we've also noticed that Krispy Kreme is still just a damn doughnut (except when served warm), Dunkin' Donuts is even buying advertising time out here again. Far as I know, they never entirely went away, though.

On Rarely-Discussed Subject Of Being In Your Twenties Finally Examined In Depth
When I was in my twenties, I lived in Olympia, Washington, and most conversations seemed to revolve around astrology: your Saturn Return, when Mercury was in Retrograde, how people act when the Moon is Devoid of Course. So there was some nostalgia in there for me.
Really though; you never really grow up. You just occasionally think you are.
