@BillyPilgrimisnotmylover: I was denied honors at my high school graduation because I finished my grad requirements at the end of the first semester of my senior year and decided to just go off to university. When I came back, I had the senior class advisor take away my NHS hood, my white cap and gown and replace it

The only way I could swoon more is if he was posing with Disco Grover in matching outfits.

@BrutallyHonestBabes: Awesome. I'll have "The Dude" demand you play the lead character when they auction off the movie rights.

@BrutallyHonestBabes: Seriously. And when my agent pressed that maybe, just maybe they could market me to men, they said no, because men don't read women writers.

Surgeon or day care worker.

"We can't market this to women."

Anthropologie's supposed to be French? I thought it was supposed to be Pastel Ruffle World.

Those eyes. Those cute little bunnies. Aaaaaaaaah. Nice way to survive a faux-Wednesday.

@SarahMC: Nope. Just disabusing the notion that "poor" is inner city blight or Johnson-in-Appalachia rural poverty. And yeah, these people — my neighbors — have done it to themselves, those idiots.

@crushdmb: I am a woman. Just, so's we all know.

@SarahMC: Are you kidding me? I loathe and judge them. I was just expanding on the bit about people who can't afford to shop the perimeter of the grocery store — it goes beyond the fantasy of the struggling inner city families and straight into the 'burbs.

@crushdmb: And let's not forget that a lot of "middle class" families living in the McMansions have been house poor for years, that every available cent has been thrown at the mortgage, the payment on the Escalade and the revolving debt, which doesn't leave much for things like a fresh bag of grapes for $7.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: I'm still considering sending money with you, the same way I send money with friends who will be within a 50 mile radius of an H&M.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: Oh, man. For a minute, I was totally reading that as a new Benetton store in Denver, and I was already planning a dash up there this weekend to buy, buy, buy! (Oh, and see Grandma. Hi, Grandma!)

I'm distracted by the black knit wrap in two ways — first, I want a look at it, because I've become obsessed with knit goods and seeing if I could theoretically replicate them, and second, because it reminds me of one of my former colleagues who suffered from a major eating disorder and would go out into 95 degree

I was in Cleveland for work and one of my colleagues and I stumbled upon a chop house that, upon seating, brought each of us a tasting flight of beer. Between that, and the wine bar that didn't suck and the weird Liz Lemon supermodel thing, I have a soft spot in my heart for Cleveland.

Hey Moe, I dropped out of school for financial reasons, too — except it was a fifth-tier state school, how sad is that?

@lermanzo: Miss Piggy would never be on the Worst list. Not even Mr. Blackwell would dream of putting Miss Piggy on the list. Miss Piggy would go to Alexander McQueen and demand he channel Caroline Herrera, and that would be a hot, hot, hot tranny mess and we would, once again, remember that Miss Piggy is the
