I have no idea what she wants or what would make her happier.

Ugh. People need to stop giving her money so she'll finally hit bottom and (maybe) make something worthwhile out of her life.

On a related note, why do journalists ask the same questions every other journalist asks? Not just in relation to Cumberbatch - it seems with any celebrity the media pick out a few subjects and go over them again and again and again. What's the point of securing an interview with someone if they're just going to…

Male celebrities are overly photoshopped, too. Yay, equality?

When you buy a book you are not paying for paper and ink. You are paying for the story that an actual human being created. That they worked to create. Because writing is a JOB. Just because most people can peck out a sentence on a keyboard doesn't mean everyone can write. It takes skill and effort and time, all of…

*gives you standing ovation at my desk*

The director controls where the camera goes and what shots are used, not the performers.

The hospital said "not yet viable" - the fetus is only 22 weeks. Viability is set at 24 weeks and it was always the hospital's intent to keep Marlise Munoz "alive" until at least that point.

The judge ruled that because she was dead, the law did not apply. You can't provide "life support" to a dead body.

I was at an author event once. During the Q&A, another attendee expressed anxiety over the fate of a particular character and the author assured her that her favorite character was going to be okay.

As I understand it, she left her children in the care of their father while she worked and went to school. When she divorced their father, one daughter was already an adult, the other daughter was a teenager who chose to continue living with her father in the family home. This has been characterized as "abandoning her…

Dallas to Portland. 8 hour delay outgoing, 13 hour delay returning. I actually ditched the return flight altogether and bought a full fare Southwest ticket at the airport, because I didn't have a spare 13 hours to hang out at PDX.

It happened a while ago, it's not a spoiler. It is absurd to expect everyone else in the universe to monitor their conversation to avoid mentioning anything that anyone else in the room might not want to know about. Even if Lawrence hadn't seen season 3, that particular spoiler was well broadcast. I don't even watch…

Ah, thank you - always delightful to see Lyra Angelica. I get goosebumps every time. I do think maybe in the very, very beginning, when she was 13 and competing in her first Nationals during the Tonya/Nancy debacle of 1994, maybe she was considered one of those "little jumping beans".

See, that's my point. Why throw "adopted" in there at all? Why not just say that Soon Yi is Mia Farrow's daughter with Andre Previn. Legally, there is no distinction between an adopted child and a biological one.

Just like people make sure to stress "adopted daughter". Dylan was Woody's "adopted daughter", Soon-Yi was Mia's "adopted daughter", as if this is some kind of mitigating factor.

Figure skating and speed skating are not the same thing.

Yeah, that was a goof on my part. Mixed up the films.

But Kristoff isn't her true love either - at least he isn't definitively declared as such in the course of the film. He thinks it's ridiculous that she fell in love in one day, but is willing to take her word for it (take her back to the palace for her kiss) but he doesn't really buy it (as he says repeatedly). And in…

I have three, teens and a pre-teen. No crow eaten here. If they stayed up late at a sleepover I let them sleep in the next day. If they can't sleep in for some reason, they spend a day kind of tired. Maybe cranky. Meh. I wouldn't call it suffering by any stretch.
