Do it, do it, do it!

My favorite issue of Vogue is the Body Issue. Beside the obvious hilarity of calling it "the Body Issue," the last one I read taught me how to dress for each of the five body types: Short, Tall, Curvy, Slim, and Pregnant.

It pretty much subscribes to the "Declutter . . . so you can buy all this new stuff!" philosophy. Sure looks pretty, though.

There's an Extreme Makeover house near me, too. It looks nice, but really weird considering the houses around it. The family still lives there, but there was major fund-raising the week the show was here to pay off the mortgage/set up a fund for property taxes. It probably helps that it's in a small town with

Yeah, it seemed like Bourdain was trying to get away from the "drug warrior" talk that Maron kept pushing. To me, at least.

This is a truly beautiful moment. I love you all.

This will get buried, but I really want Annie's reindeer sweater she wore at the end.

In my defense, they sound the same. Sort of. I am glad your birthday wasn't overshadowed, though.

Look into One Day, a romantic comedy(?) that takes place over 20 consecutive St. Crispin's Days.

I think my brain just exploded. Good work.

don't forget public school teachers! Didn't they cause the recession or some such?

I hate that. I work at a public library and say happy holidays because my job is funded by the city and state government. I have way too many exchanges that go thusly:
"Happy holidays!"
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
And I'm pretty sure they don't want me to have a merry Christmas. I think they want me to suck it.

Zork is coming. They didn't even mention build-a-movie!

Little Saint Nick makes me stabby. I hate that song so much.

True. I'd hardly heard anything about the Great War (yes, I'm calling it that) before I took a literature class in college that focused on British war poets. And then I was fascinated; there really should be a Band of Brothers-style series about it.

Sounds like home. Only it's my grandpa and uncles fighting about Civil War muskets.

I don't get you, man.

I really didn't get the Best Show at first either, but I kept listening and now I never miss it. So yeah, try the Four Loko episode. The show gets funnier the more you listen.

I've always liked that one. Not because I think Davy Jones is an inconsequential figure, but because I can't picture David Bowie being who he is and being called David Jones.

I think he took Mickey out of the Hate Pit earlier this year, though. And he played the Monkees this week!
