Not to threadjack, but did anyone catch the premiere of The L Word? I don't get Showtime on campus.

Pictures of sleeping people aren't that exciting, unless they're babies or drunk. I say that as someone who has been photographed way too many times while slumbering. I can't help I fall asleep in vehicles easily when I'm not the driver.

Sort of related, but I don't know where else to put it. A few years ago I visited Washington for a week in January, and I happened to be there on the anniversary of the 'I Have a Dream' speech. I was at the Lincoln Memorial, and I recall looking down at a memorial stone set in place where MLK stood. Someone had placed…

Oh man, I love the DJ responsible for that mash-up. Party Ben is the best.

I went to an all-girls high school, and although it was private and Catholic, it was still pretty progressive in terms of its policies. No girl who got pregnant was ever kicked out, at least in recent years, which can't be said for other Catholic high schools I know of. At any rate, I honestly can't remember if there…

Despite the bad rep, there are some home economics-type skills women AND men have forgotten that we would do well to pick up again. I think that in addition to basic cooking skills, everyone should learn basic sewing stitches. Knowing how to mend your own clothes goes a long way in terms of saving money.

At least she matched her boots to her purse?

Oh lord, I can't remember the last time I ate peanut butter, but I'm sure it was recently because you tend to eat those a lot when you're a vegetarian college student. That being said, the other night I had the worst non-menstrual stomach cramps of my life, and I thought I was dying because my mind jumped straight to…

OMG! She is so adorable!

Not to take away the gravity of the situation, but did anyone else read this article imagining Morgan Freeman's voice in their head?

What about a magazine for gay teenagers? They're out there (no pun intended), but there are few publications, if any, catering to them. The best I can think of is the GenQ section of the Advocate.

Well, last year, I fucked my way through the winter. That worked pretty well.

Oh, Amy, I defended you against my pretentious friend who made fun of the reference to you in one of our textbooks, but you make it damn hard to continue doing so.

@thejoyofsound: Oh okay, that's good to know. P.S. I know snakes aren't so great either; there are islands in the Pacific that have major problems with non-native reptiles slowly eating all the native wildlife.

Well, I know of another way that a girl can get to the top; a friend of a friend was given a small record label for her birthday while she was still in college. Her dad owned a bigger label and decided to get her into the family business or something.

I like most animals, and for the animals I don't like, I'm merely indifferent toward them. However, my best friend has two pet rats, and while they're fun to play with, there's something unsettling about the fact I'm cooing over creatures that once helped decimate half the population of Europe. I prefer even snakes to…

Lady mechanics always make me think of the L Word. (Ivan the drag king, anyone?) At any rate, I know this is weird, but I love the way my car smells after it comes back from the garage, which is really just the odor of sweat, motor oil, and dust.

Well, the Pope must certainly be wetting himself with joy over the idea of an American National Sanctity of Life day.

I stopped reading after the bit about Barack Obama and him singing "Chain of Fools." Anyone else think he should give a rendition at his inauguration?

Wow, I saw this on The F Word last night, and I was wondering if you were going to post this. Whether done in the name of feminism or anti-advertising, it is wonderful.
