That makes sense to me...and I'd love to hear what a Montanan accent sounds like...but I think the New York many accents are hard to absorb for most post college transplants because we are mixed in with such a diverse group of people with accents from all over the world. JGL may be spending most of his downtime with…

Yes, in certain lines of work.

Yeah, that's true. Some folks are sponges like that. Madonna and her temporary English accent comes to mind. Also, I remember a teacher telling me about how when she came back to the US from studying in the UK for a year, her family teased her for her "weird" accent.

I guess. But I think it's a bit more deliberate and not naturally absorbed. I'm a transplant too and have lived here a whole lot longer than he has and have not picked up a native accent - hell, no transplant I know has picked it up. And my ear is pretty attuned to it, so it just throws me off when I hear it from…

Thanks for the partial edification, but the term doesn't exclusively refer to those from the South, but because words can have multiple meanings and uses, I was using its secondary meaning. My apologies for confusing a portion of the readership of Jezebel.

I love Joe, but what is up with his vaguely New Yorky accent? He grew up in CA. He sort of sounds like my brother in law who puts on an affected Bronx accent to, presumably, fit in better with his good ole boy coworkers.

Yes, very good point! To me, the two woman really travel in two vastly different spheres.

Nor do I. But then again, a lot of people don't get my outright hatred for Adrien Brody.

Yes, she really is much more talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops, I forgot to mention this was Central Park's production of Into the Woods last summer. And yup, it's a cool park ;-) But one I don't visit nearly enough.

Yes, AGREED! I adore, but per my comment I just posted about Anne, I actually have heard Amy sing Sondheim live (yay Shakespeare in the Park) and, I really, really hate to say it, but she just didn't have the technique and pipes. Not that doesn't diminish her in any way to me, but I just really, really wanted her to…

No, Madeleine, we cannot agree. Anne has more class in her cute and stylish pixie cut than the whole of that Break-Up Girl Singer Swift. Plus, Anne is a million times more talented (a better singer to boot - 'Hey Swift, how about YOU try singing some Sondheim.')

I'm also very much part of this world, and I agree as well. Scott Synder's words didn't sound out-of-place or gendered to me. It's all about context. Laura, it sounds to me that you don't spend a lot of time in the world of comics.

Sweet! One of the 4 locations is right outside of my office. But I already ordered some boxes....BUT, I have to wait weeks for them. So, a box or two this Friday is totally ok, right?!

"Our last exercise class was surrounded by senior citizens in the YMCA's swimming pool. (And it was awesome.)"

I'm going to miss his seemingly ever presence on NY1.

My husband begs to differ. He believes cats are convinced that people are just big unfurry cats.

I thought women's limbs were generally cold(er) because most of our circulation is concentrated to our core - our baby makers. My hand and feet are constantly cold in the winter (and year round in my office) and I'm not anemic and I don't have low blood pressure.

I have this router [ http://support.netgear.com/product/WNDR3400v2 ], does anyone have an opinion of what is better for it and/or easier to install and maintain?: DD-WRT or Tomato?

I *heart* Joss. And I love that he's both giving his hetro female and gay male fans some eye candy while also turning the tables a bit on the gratuitous lady tit and ass drawings in superhero comics.
