@serenada: I like to think that Dean is a functioning alcoholic. And that at no point, ever, will realism intrude and affect his motor functions.

Cheshire! From Alice in Wonderland. Later makes an appearance in the Thursday next books.

Does anyone know if it's possible to alter the rise of jeans? I bought two pairs of jeans second hand because I loved the wash and the way they fit, but they're men's jeans and they are too high of a rise on me. There's a bunch of extra fabric in the crotch. Gives me polterwang.

@Zulkey: Thanks for the recommendation! I live in Chicago and I've been looking for a tailor that I can trust.

Is it bad that all of these comments make me want to try one?

@evility: This whole scene was pretty fantastic. I was worried that I wouldn't like an episode where Sam/Dean were sidelined, but I actually think this is easily the best episode of the season.

@mekki: The show has really enforced the concept that death is a negotiable state. It would make a lot of sense to bring Gabriel back, especially since he ended up on Team Free Will towards the end and Cas could really use some help in that area.

@galanix: I would LOVE to see Supernatural pursue story arcs involving the restructuring of Heaven and Hell.

...and unmarried pregnant women with live-in boyfriends

@DepecheNode: He looks positively gleeful.

I enjoyed this episode but I felt like it's been rushed - the writers knew where they wanted to end up and so they just... got there.

I work in an engineering school. This flowchart is posted in the kitchen of about half of the departments. I have a sneaky suspicion that it's less of a joke and more of an informal how-to.

I loathe "news" like this. Why don't they ever interview men and ask them if they would ever rape a woman, or what they would do to avoid being raped?

@Moretta: From what I understand, the models really can't afford to turn down the shoot, especially a shoot as prestigious as this one. Also, I doubt they get advance notice of the artistic direction of the shoot.

@Death_By_SnuSnu: Every time an episode opens my mouth drops in amazement. I don't know who did her wardrobe, but they had it out for Buffy.

@Keen314: I'm so glad to hear it's not just me!

I'm watching Buffy (and Angel) for the first time. And I have got to stop reading stuff like this because I get spoiled and then I get all pouty, even though it aired over a decade ago.

@yvanehtnioj: I wasn't sure how to read that either. The impression I'm getting is that Avery's defense was asking for leniency in the form of a shorter sentence since he'd already spent 18 years in prison on a wrongful conviction.

@Etoiles: I like the distinction you make between the wardrobe/jewelry/manicure and haircut, and makeup. My boss wears the expensive clothing and jewelry and very little make up. So maybe investing (ugh, I hate that term when referencing clothes) in a few classic pieces and getting a regular manicure would be more…
