Wow, the room I'm sitting in is suddenly really dusty.

@poppy: It's a big restroom with ten stalls and a pretty constant flow of people, so I think they just assume that no one is paying attention to their conversation.

@jespree: Totally agree. But the Meryl Streep part was SO GOOD that it made up for the Julie Powell part. Also, I read the book, and she's even more annoying in full-on prose form.

More than once, after meetings with female clients/prospective clients, I have snuck into the ladies room, sat in a stall, and listened to them talk about the meeting/what they would do/how they think it went/what their plans were. Honestly, about 50% of them will use the restroom before leaving the office. It's

True story: I watched this twice on a long-haul flight from India and was quite happy. I just fast-forwarded the Amy Adams parts.

Christine, just fyi...Elizabeth Edwards is hanging out with your friend JC right now, and they both want you to STFU.

@I'm Ron Burgundy?: True, and I'm not saying that we know for sure he didn't get it that way, but he was already doing stuff that's much riskier than oral, so it seems like there are much more likely scenarios for HIV transmission than a blowjob (esp a porn-style blowjob where the dude comes on his face or chest but

I hope his girlfriend's okay. Since he was making porn and had been picking up other STIs even before he was diagnosed with HIV, I hope he was extremely candid about what he was doing and used protection when he was with her.

@jfpbookworm: If women got boners that made men uncomfortable, we'd be told to hope it goes away too.

@Cimorene: I will make us some little needlework pillows. And maybe I will find out if he's single.

@DramaClub: When society celebrates women's overt sexuality the same way it does men's, I imagine.

Evolutionary biologist Justin Garcia FTW!

@RedLantern: If I don't see my grandma again when I die, I am going to be PISSED.

Very sad. Although in my particular personal version of the afterlife, you get to be reunited with your lost loved ones, and seeing her son Wade again must have been incredibly joyful.

@Tirannie: Gotta read The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. Or you can rent the DVDs of the HBO mini-series based on it. Both are awesome.
