@LiLiLi: Oh really? Sad! My former roommate worked for Crown (the publisher). She brought that one home to read and loved it. Guess I won't be borrowing that one!

@foree: Paul T. Anderson who I believe is now babydaddy to SNL's Maya Rudolph...

@petuniacat: Ha ha — I was just going to say that I couldn't believe no one had mentioned High Fidelity yet. A guy once told me that he wished men could prevent women from reading that book (Because it reveals that men are just as sappy, sensitive, and romantic as women, according to him).

Stupid Macy's. I heard a Chicago woman interviewed on NPR yesterday who said that when they sent her a Macy's card to replace her Marshall Field's card, she cut it up.

Michael Chabon. Not ala Yiddish Policemen's Union, mind you, but Wonder Boys. It's in my top 10. Ohh, and Wallace Stegner.

Ooh, another great book for getting away from "Fairy Tale" stereotypes: Dealing With Dragons (and subsequent sequels). Love love love it! The princess runs away from home because she doesn't want to marry the handsome prince who only cares about prowess in battle and marrying her because "it's proper." She becomes…

@cupcakesofdeath: Ugh, I know a grown woman with two children who has a tweety bird tattoo on her NECK.

I'd like to give that lawyer 2000 lashes. And Wahhabi, whoever he was.

@NoInheritance: Thank you for this... bookmark!

Sixteen Candles.

The expressions on the dudes' faces are the best thing about this clip by far. Wonder how much the producers paid Vanessa to attack Brandi...

Katie Holmes? Is that you?

And she has what, 2 or 3 kids? Good for her!

A bit of true-life gossip regarding one of these dudes. Make of it what you will, in the context of this conversation.

Please Jezebels, I need this feature at least once a day until January. I have been laughing steadily for 15 minutes.

@BiscuitDoughJones: @foree: With you. Haaaattteee Princess Coldstare.

@beppolina1: Ha ha ha! My friend who works at the nexus of evil (Conde Nast) went to Allure's beauty sale and bought me a MAROON Betty dye-kit. 'Cause I'm only 27 and I DO have a few grays down there. (And more than a few on my head).
