She was so awesome in "Lone Star".

And I loved you so, Jayne Cobb.

I am a liberal southerner and I LOVE seersucker! I will NOT let conservatives ruin it for me!

I am really looking forward to her artistic response to the audience reactions to the piece. Monumental art has for so long been the sole domain of the powerful- having a subversive statement writ SO large without an "authorized" interpretation of it is fascinating.

I'm getting a very Lady Catherine de Bourgh vibe from all this... "I cannot see understand why you have younger sisters in society, posting their engagement season photos on Facebook, when the elder sisters remain unmarried. In my day, it simply was not done."

Eesh. I think of people in ER's with compromised immune systems (chemo, etc.), and I wonder how many of them were sent home with fluids and a low-grade fever, perhaps exposed... but not panicking!

Looks like he not only originated the role of Billy Flynn in "Chicago," but those of Julian Marsh from "42nd Street" and El Gallo from"The Fantasticks"! Kinda puts his "reunion" with Angela Lansbury in "Beauty in the Beast" in a new, Broadway-style light.

Wasn't he in the original cast of "Chicago," too?

POWER PUFF GIRLS 4EVAH!

I hear you- Mr. Dotty probably wonders why I'm "suddenly" angry all the time about sexism, but he hears and reads the same news I do (except, ahem, Jezebel). Where he sees an ocean of laughable right-wing ideology that's aging out of relevance, I see the erosion of very PERSONAL hard-won rights over my own body. He…

I feel like I'm living in some kind of fucked up alternate reality these days. I've always considered myself a feminist, but I used to kind of laugh off the idea that men could feel threatened by women, particularly the power of women's metaphoric "voice". But between the official efforts to restrict women's…

John Kelly's The Great Mortality is a fascinating account of the Plague in Europe, and how it exacerbated xenophobia. Frightened people do frightening things.

That said, I absolutely take your point about the culturally loaded word "hygiene" when it comes to colonialism. The media is playing into the public's wishful…

The first thing I noticed about Terminus was how few people there were, total. It seemed like an awful lot of space for a few people to be milling around in, when there had been signs up all over the place telling people to come. It should have looked more like a refugee camp. There seemed to be a LOT more people when…

Glad I'm not the only one. I can understand if a sense of purpose kept them together at the beginning, but as feckless as he is under pressure? Either they really do believe him or there's some other reason they want him around, because otherwise he is totally dead weight. He shot up their truck!

Is that the guy from "Xanadu"? More importantly, what important fact about my life have I forgotten to keep his face in my memory?

Yes, there's just this nagging feeling I have... keep them working while they're cheap (in their twenties and thirties), and then have an excuse not to make them partner in their forties because they took maternity leave. I have discovered a very large cynical DNA chain in my genome, and it's called "women in the…

THAT is interesting! Makes me wonder why they'd be so gung-ho to protect him, if they know he's full of shit, though. I do actually think he's full of shit because of the way he talked about what he planned to do when he got to DC. "Flip the switch?" Uh-huh. Sounds legit. There is no scenario in which flipping even a…

Beth's going to have to have 100% less annoying when/if she comes back, if they're going to make me- I mean, Daryl- choose her over Carol. I know her character works as is, but not as a partner for my Daryl.

Hershel et al weren't evil. Misguided in their views on the walkers, but not evil.

Why is my first thought that this is to make sure they work their asses off and don't have "an excuse" to take maternity leave? I can just see someone's boss saying: "You know, we've got a pretty long-range product development in the works. Everybody's cool with just freezing their eggs, right? The company will cover…
