@gertymac: Thanks! Yep, watched (and re-watch) all of "The IT Crowd" via Netflix streaming.

I just discovered (years after everyone else) the gloriousness of David Tennant in "Dr. Who" via the RSC's "Hamlet" on PBS.

@ShinyThings: This is 100% awesome. It would make a hell of a book chapter.

@mfnher: Those baffle me. Practically no one in my Twitter stream talks about any of the trending topics...and the people I follow are fairly savvy, at least in my industry. I vote for a trend piece in the NY Times explaining where the hell trending topics come from.

@Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do: Friends of mine in the humid-already-in-April South swear by primer, though I haven't tried it.

@MySandwich: I think someone started a #move tag as an umbrella for exercise Qs. Hope it helps!

@PaintedTrollop: I adore this stuff: [www.etsy.com] (I have no affiliation with the store.) It has tea-tree oil and it's vegan. My skin adores it; a little goes a long way.

@Steve Holt's Mother Part Deux: Publish it yourself! You can do it in a summer. Use Lightning Source to get on Amazon. If you Google around, you'll find out more details, or you can PM me, though I'm neither agent nor publisher. Or you can use the time to track down agents/houses. Either way, yay writing time?

@Norton: Brilliant.

@thechibster63: It can be done! I hate checking stuff in, and haven't done that in about 3 years. As long as you have no aversion to handwashing a few things, you can definitely cram ('scuse me, roll) everything in a carry-on. My staples are:

Make those pants go outta sight, please...

MC'd by Joey Tribbiani, no doubt...

Hey, fellas with the guns... Way to help a lady out.

@Tippi Hedren: Isn't she living with her grandmother? (Don't ask me why I know this and not, say, something useful.)

@ObservantUnderachiever: Got it; thanks for the advice!

@anteup: Thanks for the advice. Yep, other cardio is so not for me...

@this_charming_one: Thanks—yikes, I hadn't thought of any of that!

@CookieDoughMonster: Thanks for the tips!

Can anyone who's ever taken a spin class fill me in on what it's like? I'm contemplating diving into one, but I'm generally the shy, snarky sort. Will a class like this leave tread marks on me? What do I need to know, Jeze-hive-mind?

@MayaTheBee: Roast chicken. [www.finecooking.com]
