Lately I've begun to suspect that "didn't used to see the fuss about Cumberbatch, now love him like air" is actually a defining characteristic of my personality.

More red wine for us, buddy.

Right? RIGHT?!? Although red wine > champagne for me. But champagne > so much of the other booze in the game!

You just made my night - thank you!!

THERE'S GOING TO BE A SECOND SEASON?!? Sorry for screaming, but this is bogglingly exciting.

Yeah, I was a bit taken aback at how hot I thought he looked in Zack and Miri ...

Having seen cases where husbands viciously abused their wives in private after being disagreed with in public, this one sent chills up my spine. An ego that fragile often comes with violent reactions to feeling undermined.

The original Viva Glam looks like this on me, and my colouring is vaguely similar to Jones'.

Thank goodness indeed - and thank goodness there's someone else here who likes gum! I don't always chew it for very long, but I find it a way more effective breath freshener than a mint, and it's a stress reliever. And it helps people focus! http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2…

Yeah, I was about to say it appeared that they got so busy editing the upper half of her that they forgot to replace the jeans she wore to the shoot with something appropriate.

Huh, I picked all winners, at least for the time being. I've never tried ayahuasca, but I voted for it because I live where it does (Peru!) and because I've been dosed, probably with GBH, and it sucked.

In spring of the year that I clerked we received a memo from our administrators giving us wardrobe reminders "now that the weather is warming up". They were all oriented exclusively toward the women. One tip was "instead of a blazer, you could wear a cardigan." Right, because summer cardigans! Ugh. The email said that…

Yes. As a lady lawyer, I can say that my wardrobe options are basically 1) frumpy 2) slutty. I'm not quite in the right decade/size bracket/income bracket to rock the Christina Hendricks Mad Men look, alas.

I used to say I wasn't into Asian men, and then it occurred to me that I'd never been around any Asian guys my age when I was growing up (small Prairie town in the 80s!), and the Asian men I did know, or whom I saw in TV and movies, weren't likely to attract my attention. Hell, the actors back then were specifically…

You are the best.

Yes. As my husband commented once, "let me guess. You think he's really 'intelligent'".

Over Christmas I needed to go to a toy store to pick up a couple of things off my kids' letters to Santa, and my dad went with me. Then he suggested that we stop at the liquor store. In the liquor store there was a poster that showed a little girl in front of an empty glass and a scattered mess of cocktail umbrellas,…

My eldest weighed 28 lbs at a year - not overfed, mind you, just a big kid. He's been over the 95th percentile for weight and height, on and off, since about 5 months of age. Now he's 11 years old, 5'4, and 100 lbs. Anyway, yeah. That's a lot of toddler to carry around. And we had trouble finding booster seats/car…

It's just a fact. No need to apologize for not being sorry about that!

Pssst - Imodium only has 2 'm's, total.
