When last we left Glee, Kurt had returned to New Directions, Finnchel (aka Finn + Rachel) tanked Nationals with a public kiss, and Blaine and Kurt professed their love to each other. And then we spent the summer watching behind the scenes drama run amok on Twitter. Trouty Mouth peaces out! Finn, Rachel and Kurt get axed after this season! (Psych, no they're not. Maybe.) So, last night's season premiere had everyone back in school after a crushing defeat at Nationals. Except, you know, the ones who aren't.  Read more >

But then I ask myself: When do I bring 'vagina' into my 4-year-old daughter’s vocabulary? Around here, we call it her 'toody.' I like to think it goes along nicely with 'tushy.'  Read more >

MTV Turns 30.

I was alive for four whole months before MTV existed.Prince, Michael Jackson, Modonna, Aerosmith, Nirvana and Pearl were my youth.  Not just listening to them. Seeing them. Living their music through the stories they told with their videos. I got my news from Kurt Loder, social activism from Rock the Vote, dry humping skills from The Grind, tolerance from Real World, sex advice from Love Line, and my appreciation of sarcasm and being a social outcast from Daria.   Read more >
