@sarah.of.a.lesser.god: Whattabout young Alec Baldwin in The Hunt for Red October???

After a day that started with me getting sad on the train because one of my close friends is moving in a week and ended with finding out that an Amazon order that the post office dropped off filled with books and a DVD that I wanted to watch this weekend was stolen by some punk kids, I sincerely thank you for that…

@jenalicious: Zing!

@jenndavo: My future father in law has one of those on their front porch....because he sincerely believes it somehow will protect them from the bird flu. How? I have no fucking clue.

Did Dina just say that prior to The Osbourne's show airing, there were no weekly tabloids? Did I really hear that correctly? Because if so...wow.

@Archetype: Apparently when she did the big fall at the fashion show, she ended up with a ton of bruises until they got the best take. I have nothing but respect for actors who will do real physical comedy (see also: the cast of Scrubs). And the fact that she was inspired by AbFab makes me love the show just a little…

@Archetype: I think you're thinking of "Evolution" where Charlotte realizes that she hasn't "evolved" enough to be with the straight gay man after he freaks out about a mouse in the kitchen. Is it sad that I remember that so clearly?

I lived at home for EIGHTEEN months, and it was utter hell. My parents did the best they could, but with a touchy situation with my mom taking care of my grandmother all the time stressing her out, my own very long commute wearing me down, a job that paid but that I had only partial intrest in, and a powerful sense of…

@funnyface: So true—my fiance (then boyfriend) risked the ire of his advisor one day when I came home early from my internship (which was driving around to grocery stores) to take care of me when I had baaaaad food poisoning. I was going at regular intervals, but he was there armed with the Gatorade to make sure I…

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: We ran into friends at Target on Sunday and their 1 year old was being fussy, so as a last resort his mom gave him a dark chocolate Hershey Kiss (from her "secret stash") and one minute he's chomping away at it, and the next it's somehow all over his face.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: Probably because her character is always in dresses like this on Gossip Girl.

@bellethellama: Sorry for the multiple comments—Explorer was being stupid this morning.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!!!!!! May your day be filled with copious amounts of cake and champagne!

@BowlingForDollars: You're referring to the delicious CA red, yes? In our household it's referred to as "ed truck" (as in the old boss from The Office) to the point that the fiance takes a grease pen and colors out the letter "r".

@amy1971: Comment of the day nomination!

@katekate: The worst is at Christmas, specifically Christmas Eve—the church my parents go to is huge, but not large enough to handle everyone who only comes at Christmas and Easter (and I am a member of that group now), and combine the incense with closed doors and an over-capacity congregation radiating body heat,…

@Jerseylicious: I could watch a loop of Jeff's descriptions of things on a loop and be happy, myself. BBC America is now sandwiching a new show about dating between reruns of Coupling and AbFab (and it looks like the first three seasons, and not just the newer shows! Yay!) starting tonight, I believe, at 8.

@flackette is frustrated: I agree that she looks great and fresh-faced. It's funny—I tend to lust more after her film wardrobes than the clothes she wears on an everyday basis. Think A Perfect Murder, Sliding Doors, Talented Mr. Ripley, etc. And I loved pretty much everything she wore in Iron Man as well.

@Jenloveshercurves: @Brigit: Many people don't really like the gaminess of the meats you both listed, and not enough has been done in understanding how to best cook them to tone down that aspect of their flavor. Look at one of the episodes of Top Chef from season 3—the cheftestants bristled at the prospect of having…
