Jessica Biel looks outstanding. Too bad she's become completely irrelevant to Hollywood.

Aw. The poor logger.

It's not very heavily addressed, but quidditch becomes increasingly peripheral as the books go on.

The quidditch one always bugged me, too. Game creation isn't just about making some rules and arbitrarily assigning point values. There are good reasons you can only score 1, 2, 3, or 6 points in football. Quidditch just gives you something to watch before the real game actually starts.

Yeah the more I look the more wrong I see with the look. Her hair is too light, yes, and her lipstick clashes really badly with it, and her eyebrows have been shaped to frame her face weirdly. Is OINTB season 2 currently shooting? That could explain the eyebrows.

Taryn Manning looks to' up. Just a bad night/look for her? Because I know I've seen her look much, much better.

Verb-ing the word "son," as used disrespectfully in slang, is something that I've noticed terrible and stupid people doing of late.

I'm not saying you should or shouldn't, just that casinos always report tournament payouts, but aren't required to report chip cashouts up to a point (mostly 5k these days, but 10k used to be the standard).

Sponsorships are the reason that top players are bothered to play major tournaments these days. The massive fields mean that simple variance has made consistently cashing nearly impossible, but television changed the game dramatically.

I've been playing live seriously for about 10 years and I started off as a "tournament specialist." There are myriad reasons not to even attempt to make a living playing tournament poker, not the least of which being that tournament winnings are automatically reported to the IRS. For me, now, the only benefit of…

I'm having to wonder when, exactly, pharmacists started thinking it was remotely appropriate to start moralizing in re. performing their fucking jobs. You don't want to dispense birth control, plan B, or whatever? Don't become a fucking pharmacist.

It's almost definitely the latter.

First thing I thought, too.

There's not enough Ativan in that hospital to get me to calm down for a "few hours" before surgery, knowing that there are maggots living in my cranium.

What's disconcerting about that? Sex is often charmingly bizarre.

The only important takeaway from this is that Prince just only does "secret" shows anymore, right?

Nation of Carlson?

He's got a mean streak a mile wide!!!

Yes. Most of the collection is decent - if not Star Wars-themed in any way - and the Vader pieces just strike me as lazy co-opting of a pre-existing and well-known icon.
