    More insufferable than obnoxious. Everything is just so melodramatic and shes a bigger egomaniac than Kanye.

    I'm sorry but this isn't possible.

    That's like saying something is bigger than infinity.

    Kanye never claimed to be bigger than Jesus, unlike that narcissistic prick John Lennon.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Yes but he at least admits he's an egomaniac. Beyoncé keeps pretending she's humble.

    He said The Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

    So a local film festival wants to showcase one of my films from last year, but I gotta decide which one to submit. Thoughts? You guys think I should submit Dream Girl? http://cwiddop.blogspot.com/2015/03/dream-girl.html

    Or should I submit Breathe? http://cwiddop.blogspot.com/2015/08/breathe.html

    My personal thoughts? Dream Girl's more solid, but it's also a lot simpler. Almost TOO simple, perhaps. Breathe is more ambitious and has more of a story, but it's also a lot more overall problematic.

    So you can see my dilemma, lol! But any help or feedback would be much welcomed and appreciated!

    My pick: Breathe. It might have more issues, but it's also lot more interesting.

    Do you (or anyone you know) actually believe in the bad luck of Friday the 13th? As in, refuse to travel, follow normal routines, get married, etc. on that day?

    I probably wouldn't get married on that date just in case, but other than that, nope. Just another day.

    I use it as an excuse to watch a Friday the 13th movie, and that's about it.

    I tried to think of any existing reference made before the movies came out, then this:

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...luck/10376945/

    Friday is bad because Jesus died. 13 is bad because Judas. Apparently, not many combined the two until 1980.

    I feel like it's one of those superstitions that everyone knows about, but nobody believes. I mean I'm sure somebody, somewhere, believes, but not the majority of people.

    I appreciate the input, Irish! That's the one I ultimately decided to go with. Taking everything into account, it really is just so much more interesting, despite all its flaws. Sure, Dream Girl's probably the safer option, but it's also probably the more boring option as well, and has less of a chance of really standing out. Besides, no risk, no reward, right? And hey, if this one doesn't turn out so swell in the theater, well, I'll know for next time.

    It is kinda funny, though, of all the places I inquired, people I know IRL all exclusively said Dream Girl, whereas all of my internet friends were very much on Team Breathe. Those people I know are gonna be pretty disappointed to find out my choice.

    I kinda been expecting it. They've been sort of dwindling for a while. It's sad, but I've been enjoying Reductress more lately. And I'm sure we'll be able to enjoy Mallory in the form of her book deals.

    Nicole & Nicole, both of whom I adore, also freelance quite a bit and probably will do so more now that their schedules will be lighter.

    And Mallory is Dear Prudence now, which is fun.

    But I'm going to miss The Toast. I've never been this sad about a website ending before.
