All great choices. The movie version of Much Ado About Nothing sold me on Beatrice - witty dialogue and singing while swinging in a Tuscan like setting.

Brad Pitt was born with very good looks. A lot of men born with good looks age well, I just don't think Pitt is one of them, but that is subjective. The man playing the Elementary character could also give his kids just as good attention and care, you just don't see it played out paparazzi shots that show up in…

What fictional character - movies or books - would you want to live their lives for a month? I pick Luna Lovegood (I want what she's on) or Anne Elliot of Persuasion (to be pursued twice, get an actual second chance at love, piss off awful family members and a horrible would be suitor, be valued as smart and sensible…

Maybe it'd help to write out what you want to say in a letter first and then practice saying it out loud, making sure all the (admittedly painful) details are there, before sitting down and talking with him. If there's any way you can research what steps would help to even just start to correct the problem…

For my friend's sons, their Scottish last name and one son's bright blue eyes would help give them away, but I don't know otherwise.

I never understood the extremism of Japanese nationalism until a became friends with a Japanese woman living here, married to a white American. They met in Japan while he was working there and had two sons who attended an American school. She said they felt it was necessary to move to the US because their sons would…

I used to pass by a fiftiesh looking dress store in Larchmont, NY where they handmade dresses these women would die for. The dresses in the window display always looked so nice but I could never figure out where I would actually wear one except for a vintage themed party or something. Plus, I didn't enter the store…

I know. You'd think on paper it'd end up looking tacky but it turned out really nice,

Of course Angelina Jolie wouldn't base who she dates or divorces on how charismatic they are on screen...but since I would, and I could watch Johnny Lee Miller in the better than I expected Elementary show any day over one of Brad Pitt's movies, I say, you traded down, Ma'am. You traded down (after the hop over Billy…

Yeah, cause allowing more than one child wouldn't help children shoulder that burden at all.

Wow, I just wrote the complete opposite. I'm no voice expert but I thought it sounded like she had pretty good control and had obviously practiced this a lot.

Not only was that enjoyable to watch but I appreciate her voice control and the fact that unlike so many singers you don't hear her gulp huge breaths of air in between each note.

While I don't feel sorry for him that the information about what he did is out there, at the very least he recognized he couldn't go on with the entitled victim route. Maybe someone in his family has savvy enough pr instincts to craft this statement, or maybe he actually means it, but it's out there now and I'm fine…

Her nose looks like my nose. I like her.

At least he went out on a happy note.

Everytime we have playdates for my toddler son and with another boy who is either an only child or has no sister(s), they almost always go for the dollhouse, kitchen or other 'girl' toys, not because they're considered girl toys but because those boys don't have them in their own homes to play with and are too young…

I hate to say it but I think he's kinda right. George W. Bush amazingly said that reversing Roe v. Wade wouldn't be a litmus test for Supreme Court nominees and didn't make his being pro-life a huge campaign issue. And yet as president, we all know what his policies and who his nominees were, and I have a feeling…

I totally get this video. I'm surprised they went for such a deep, well thought out concept when they could have just put any ol' images up with a couple of celebrities and called it a day. But I'd be really annoyed if too many people got it too. 'Cause then I would totally be over it.

When I met my husband he had grown up in a house of Republicans and voted for Bob Dole. Politics was never a huge topic of discussion for us, but over time I got him to understand why gay rights is so important, why Democrats can be better for the economy for all types of earners, and why being pro-choice is…

I have to try this from now on! I wish my full name had more than 4 syllables.
