Idris plays Heimdall in Thor. I know it's not the lead by any stretch, but I'm hoping that he makes more appearances in the Marvel world. I believe he'll be in Thor 2 and hopefully Avengers 2.

For your "Midnight in Paris" orgy, F. Scott Fitzgerald is mine. Oh, yes.

True dat! Also, a fellow NOLA jezzie. SMDH, New Orleans.

I've had that happen before and I thought everything would be cool ... and it sort of was I guess, but when I touched down at home (New Orleans), I went to the luggage carousel and my bag was nowhere to be found. Instead it was just sitting outside of a security office. Just chilin'. Outside. By itself. For anyone to…

As I get older my anxiety with flying has gotten much worse. I long for the days when I actually enjoyed a flight, dreaming of my destination while listening to my Tori Amos cds. Now I can't breath and I'm always super-paranoid that if I'm not the first person on board in my group, I won't be able to fit my carry-on…

Confession ... I watched Rock of Ages on HBO the other night and couldn't get over how hot Tom Cruise was in it. I was like, WTF. How did this happen? And then I watched Interview With The Vampire and was reminded how awesome he was as Lestat. I have mixed feelings about him. He's obviously insane, but he's a damn…

Some businesses left or shut down after Katrina, also, New Orleans hates chains that are not local. There is definitely a market. I'd probably keep a Target open single-handed ;-)

The rightest Bush administration abandoned the area. Asshole. Quite frankly, when the zombie apocalypse happens, I'll be happy right here in New Orleans. We know how to survive.

One thing that will might safe-guard it is that New Orleans hates chains coming into town. Stores like Walmart and Target are usually banished to the suburbs. Hell, there's not even a Wendy's or a Taco Bell anywhere around where I live. It's a good thing because it supports the local flavor, and it's bad because…

I know you're just being a dick, but in New Orleans? No. There's a severe lack of grocery stores in both white and black neighborhoods.

I just meant that my bitching about a Target being a half-hour away was a first-world problem.

This is so awesome. New Orleans might be known for its food, but there is definitely a shortage of grocery stores. In a lot of areas, if you don't have a car, your grocery store is the Family Dollar or a corner shop. Hell, I have a car and it's a pain in the ass to get to a grocery store with decent affordable produce…

Weird Candace Bushnell/JSP squabble aside, I actually really like The Carrie Diaries. I think it's a cute show. And there's really nothing else on on Mondays anyways ;-) Also, the music is fun. And last night she ran around NYC trying to deliver a wig to Andy Warhol. Also, in a weird crossover, the chick that played…

Word. After having watched the Makers special on PBS, I'm all like ... WHAT ABOUT THE ERA, PEOPLE?!

Man, I've had this insane crush on Jason Segel for forever, well ... since I fell in love with his Freaks & Geeks character, cause Nick Andopolis was pretty much all the dudes in high school that I had crushes on, complete with daddy issues.

Yep. Down the rabbit hole I went ;-)

I was kind of hoping for a Loki sighting! I love me some Loki.

Used to watch this movie all the time. Me and a friend once counted how many times throughout the movie he touches his face. It's obscene.

I'm 34 and thinking maybe this is my year. I've done a lot of traveling and sleeping in (loved how you described that). I think it's a different kind of selfish to have kids before you're ready for them ... because that will inevitably impact them, the unlived life of a parent. That's how I've always looked at it. At…

I totally agree. What's so wrong with Lord Anthony? They seemed okay with it in season 1 before Mary intervened (I think) ... also, every time he comes on screen I always think "Hey it's the British Jeff Daniels!" ... and I've always loved Jeff Daniels ;-)
