@JinxyMcDeath: Agree. Leanne was robbed. Every week my crush on her grows a little more—I'm hoping she wins it all.

@Cuteasabutton: Perhaps there will be lots of blank pages inserted. Symbolism!

I'm totally late to the party, but my heartiest congratulations to you! Having gone through some heavy shit just in the past two days, culminating in my ass getting laid off, it really is a comfort to have someone there who will drop everything, and come be by your side, administering half-hourly hugs and not being

@TaraIncognita: Totally. You can tell the showrunner learned much from David Chase—he built that tension in an amazing way.

@maude_flanders: And adds a whole weird twist to this quip from the first season:

@badmutha: We got to read that in AP Lit senior year—loved it.

Good God. Prayers/thoughts/wishes with her, her family and her friends for a safe return...

@hfree: @badmutha: Now, the real question is—what edition do you like? I prefer the classic original Genus edition, because every third question can be answered with "The Soviet Union" or something similar. Also, I once got a pie piece on the question "Where is Yale University located?"

I'm so happy my man isn't obsessed by the Grand Theft Autos of the world (he has Liberty City Stories, but doesn't play it that often) and instead is happy playing Wii MarioKart. It's great—sometimes we'll play together, other times he plays on his own, and other times I tell him to back off and let me play Wii Sports

@LaComtesse: Well said. Most of mine had to pay full-price for my J.Crew dresses (but one lucked out and got the long version and had her master seamstress aunt hem it down), but none of them have yet to grumble (and in fact, I've already been thanked for not choosing satin sausage casing). Hair and makeup is optional

I lust over Leanne's dress to the point where I want her to do a version just for me, in white, for my wedding that's literally a month from today. I love how she's stepped up since the sustainable fabric challenge, and I'm rooting for her to win it all. I hope hope hope she and Korto make it to Bryant Park, because

@rmric0: It's interesting—there are ratings out there that measure a show's ratings versus the internet chatter surrounding it, and usually the shows with much more of the latter do not reflect the top rated shows in terms of ratings (for example, The Office gets massive internet chatter, but you wouldn't know that

@The HZA: "The Infanta" by The Decemberists, the leading track off of their Picaresque album.

@Lizawithazee: Loved the opening montage, and I loved the use of the Decemberists—their lyrics tend to be lush and delicious, and it worked really well here.

@Archetype: The man is a genius. And while the new prices are a reach, the fact that they stepped up in quality is very apparent. Case in point: when trying on the J.Crew suit for our wedding, my fiance looked like an Italian version of Don Draper. When he tried on his Men's Wearhouse tux rental last night for the

@BabyJane: You know what I like to do? Play real board games like Monopoly where I buy up all the railroads and become the game's railroad baron! Then I twirl my imaginary mustache as my friends keep forking $200 bucks over to me, wondering exactly how I am able to clean them out so efficiently.

@Archetype: Gore always seems vastly more entertaining when he's on Futurama—his one daughter who used to write for the show (don't know if she's on the staff working on the new movies) should really be his speechwriter.

@Archetype: @KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: You can contact Campbells directly and ask for a thingy that helps prying off a pull tab easier, or you can just use a can opener at the bottom. So are the things I learned going to the world headquarters in Camden twice a week for about a year as I worked on spreadsheets

@Marsgaret @formergr: THANK YOU. I also found the shape of the coat to too similar to the silouhette of other things she's produced on the show. It was made well, but not terribly innovative. Leanne deserved the win here if nothing else but for seriously altering those seatbelts into feather-like detailing. That was

@brendastarlet: If you haven't heard her sing "Lush Life" from Living Out Loud, DL immediately. It's sublime.
