@brendastarlet: Agreed, agreed, agreed. It would have been so refreshing to see her move on, instead of retreating back into old habits. Of course, they screwed this up with Aidan, so why not Alexsandr too?

@brendastarlet: I hated that! I loved Alexsandr, and one of my favorite episodes is when they first started dating, and he makes Carrie pancakes, and becomes all bashful when he says that he likes her. It's one of the more genuine moments of the show. The second Big reappeared in the second-to-last episode I knew…

Whenever I hear Les Moonves, I immediately think of Moon Vest outside of CBS—you know, Kenneth the page's friend.

@FullSpeedLohan: That was my favorite scene of the first season of that show.

@katastic: So, so true. There were guys and girls back when we graduated HS who attempted to "lock in" a future spouse for themselves while they lived it up in college. One girl tried to do this with my now-fiance—tried to break us up by insinuating that they were all-but-betrothed (keep in mind, we were freaking 19…

@ilikenoise is revising: Completely agree on Northanger Abbey (was fun and lighthearted), and though I didn't hate the 2005 P&P (it was beautifully filmed and scored), I hated that they sidestepped all of the hilarious social commentary. My weakness for Johnny Lee Miller and James Purefoy is the only reason I tolerate…

@ilikenoise is: The more I hear about her, the more I like her. Yeah, her boyfriend may be sketchy, but she at least seems like a fun person to hang out with.

@tscheese: My poop horror story involved a nasty case of food poisoning one summer—my internship entailed visiting food stores to merchandise my company's product (i.e. make it look like it was freshly delivered, in a prominent place, properly priced, etc.) and I had to visit the bathroom in every damn store and take…

@PinkSoxHat: I never tried Great Harvest, but when I saw that it's sold at the Ardmore Farmer's Market, I got very sad. I spent many a time walking through that place and it always smelled AMAZING. Which means I must try to get some of this bread the next time I'm visiting my family.

@PinkSoxHat: Oh yeah! Very familiar—I'm sure my mom picked out a present for my godmother there a few times over the years. There is one fun place in Wayne specifically—The Reader's Forum. Completely filled with books, not terribly easy to navigate, but the two guys who work there pretty much know every single title…

@PinkSoxHat: Yep. That whole stretch of Lancaster Ave is quite the area.

Say what you will about David Brooks, in one of the early chapters of Bobos in Paridise he profiles the Main Line town of Wayne, PA and says the following re: Anthropologie (roughly paraphrased): it's the store where you can aspire to look like a peasant from Provence, but you need a 6-figure paycheck in order to do…

@Macloserboy: There is a great 90's Peanuts comic where Lucy reflects that by the time she's grown up, there will probably have been a woman president. And proceeds to get pissed that she therefore won't be the first.

@lilredpanda: Ugh. The Catholic Church makes it SO FUCKING COMPLICATED (irritation at the church, not you!) and they felt pressure to mitigate certain sins by making them venial or mortal, because, I dunno, EVERYONE WAS PROBABLY COMITTING THEM!! Nautrally, this didn't include molestation....much to their chagrin…

@ineffable.me: That's because Vatican City is its own city-state kind of deal, I believe (but am not sure if this is still the case). Which is good if it is, because it separates it from the rest of Italy.

@bellethellama: Though still not so aware as to say BC is OK...::sigh::. And there are some who wonder why I refuse to attend Mass anymore...

@sybann: At least the Jesuits take the poverty vow—the former president of my uni lived in a teeny cottage next door to me (sophomore year). The current one wanted to be more accessible to students, so he's on the top floor of one of the apt. buildings, and was sincerely worried that it was too "lavish" in comparison,…

@stoprobbers: Love that PS is pushing the envelope on the runway collection now that they have the resources (thanks Valentino!) to do a more retail-friendly pre-collections. I also love me some Marc, but I will never stop lusting after a real PS bustier (the Target one is a good substitute for now as I don't have a…

@gluecake: When can we expect read the results in an upcoming JAMA? Because that sounds like a fun study to read about!

@LaComtesse: And fat is very important in the absorption of nutrients (as you mentioned earlier), especially with salads. But we never buy processed dressings—our normal salad is a big bowl of baby arugula with lemon and a little oil and balsalmic vinegar with shaved parmesan cheese.
