Heh! I love it.

I love that story. I'm not a huge NFL fan, but somewhat ironically, I do play fantasy football. I do draft on stats, but I also like to go with nice guys because otherwise it's just not worth it to me. I think I'll add Brees to my prospect list.

Yup, and I was a blubbery mess. I gave my cat tons of snuggles as I was reading it.

I adore Neil Gaiman, even after he disappointed me in not coming through on something he initially committed to do for my husband. Although it was super disappointing, we also understood why he couldn't do it. Plus, Gaiman was super nice about it. I just think he stretches himself so thin because he's a super nice…

Oops, I didn't realize the above was an actual song from the show (as opposed to a little promo video). I LIKE it! It's certainly Sondheim-y dense, but not quite a Sondheim-esque patter song. It's definitely not as speedy. But, in any case, it's awesome and I now want to listen to the full album.

If it's clever (and Minchin is certainly known to be) this sounds right up my alley.

Well, part of it is exposure. American see/hear far fewer British shows, movies, radio programs, etc. than visa versa. I think that's a shame, but I'm a big Anglophile. Also, as other pointed out, just as there are some British dialects that takes my ear a bit to attune to, there are some American dialects that I…

I'm right there with you. I LOVE my seltzer and a very certain and inexpensive brand of bottled water because (unlike tap and most bottled water) it has this smooth non-mineraly taste - sort of like Evian. I recycle. And don't own a car or use CFCs, and I compost so I feel ok with my carbon footprint, so suck it,…

I had no idea there was such a thing. I'm currently saving up for a down payment on the house, so I will be sure to leave room for this miraculous-sounding steam washer and dryer!

As a person who's currently just about ready to make the jump into trying to make a child (who knows if that'll happen - I'm trying to prepare myself for being ok with either turn-out), this list terrifies me. None of it was very enlightening, but then again, I'm an aunt and have seen lots of child-rearing close up,…

Perfectly said. Also, huge ::eyeroll:: to the OP. Swift's ignorance, and yours OP, is embarrassing. It's reductive and damaging to the REAL issue of ACTUAL slut-shaming.

YES! I had that same thought re Molly Ringwald. Weird.

Swoon...indeed! But I do wonder what was going on with his hair. It was like they just threw some peroxide to the top layer of his hair and the underneath it was still his Sherlock brown.

I have yet to watch any of his interviews. But it sounds like he's even more appealing than his characters. I must get on that.

Yes, please!

The Travelocity Gnome? Boo! No, it's the adorably awesome and original Amelie Gnome.

I'm a migraine sufferer so I commiserate with other migraine sufferers by sharing horror stories.

I never saw Shia "cute" and/or "promising" because I caught him on the first/second (?) season of Project Greenlight and he was an entitled little shit. I really can't stand him. I guess I have a really low threshold for obnoxious, self-important actors because, once upon a time, my job consisted of wrangling…

Thanks, Aimee!

My problem with exercise isn't that I hate it or that I lack the aerobic capability of doing it, but that I don't know how to sustain a healthy exercise regiment. When I exercise, I don't know how to take baby steps to build up endurance. I just dive right into the deep end and it's just not sustainable. I either…
