Ha ha ha! My friend will be out at the airport when the Pope arrives tomorrow, working lights and sound. He has to go through like 7 security clearances.

I didn't see this post last night, but I have to comment to clear my head.

Oh, ow ow ow! One of my high school friends got shot in the neck at close range and now he has a white shiny scar the size of a quarter.

@zivah: You're the 2nd or 3rd person I've heard a "David Schwimmer tried to sleep with my friend" story from! That dude must get AROUND.

I would totally wear the off-the-shoulder lace Lhuillier. I have boobs and broad shoulders, I could pull it off, I think.

Also, someone cough*Kathy Griffin*cough once said that the PTC is actually just one very angry dude with a laptop. Who cares what he thinks?

Ha! I was just in my coworker's office talking about how she finally got her period this weekend after a pregnancy scare and how I'm having some sort of seriously painful/itchy sh*t going on in my ladybits and can't wait till my GYN appointment tomorrow.

@funnyface: Oh yeah, good question!

@AuroraVox: Yes — another book industry person here. I remember when Chick-Lit was new, fresh, and hip, but now it's an established niche, and companies are still creating whole imprints around it. I don't buy this for a second; she is purposefully writing for this market/audience.

@petuniacat:

Weird, I can't remember any instances of being told (by a parent/adult) that I was pretty or beautiful. Like others said, my parents told me I was smart/talented, etc. all the time—positive reinforcement and all, but looks were not discussed unless my mom was telling me to pull my hair back and keep it out of my food…

He's wearing her jeans!

@Jerseylicious: I'm glad everyone has the love for the wide-legged pants, 'cause I just bought some and plan to wear them nonstop.

A friend of mine keeps giving me Naipul books (because she can't get through them), and I have been turning them right back around to my dad. I've never been a fan.

If there is a kid within spitting distance of my office, my door will be closed. It drives me nuts when by boss brings her loud, inquisitive, disrespectful kids to work.

The FLDS believe the won't go to heaven unless they bring as many people into the "fold" as possible. This was an original tenet of Mormonism and one of the (f'ed up IMO) justifications for polygamy (or was it the other way around?). FLDS are NOT Mormon, but this belief is still prevalent in the regular church which…

A rare sartorial misfire for Ms. Bilson. Generally I really love her. But we should probably cut them some slack — the just ran out to the Kwik Mart and all. I've gone into my next-door deli looking muuuuuch worse.

@hortense: I immediately thought Clooney and Krasinski. But then, JKra doesn't really strike me as a big stoner. And Clooney seems like he'd be more of a coke-head.

Ha ha, I have those Converse (in purple). They are my favorites.

That's right, brides of old, hide your vadge under 467,408 yards of fabric until the absolute last moment...
