I recently created a Facebook note called "Zombie Apocalypse: A Personal Planning Inventory." In it I listed the skills and equipment I would bring to the table if my friends and I had to band together to fight zombies. Skills included my CPR training and my easily-triggered temper. Equipment included my

Game was in my hometown, I was cheering for the Irish, but by the end of it I thought A&M deserved the win. Adams and Colson were fantastic. And I didn't like a couple of dirty plays by the Irish (elbows/shoves), always hate to see that no matter what team the player is on. I'm happy for them, and thrilled that it

Moi aussi, je comprends. It sucks.

Right there with you — I've never wanted kids, not for a day in my life. I've decided that what I really want is a dog and an R2 unit, like R2-D2.

Just watched "The Long Hot Summer" — 1958, same year as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (RIP Elizabeth). Paul Newman smolders. Joanne Woodward sparkles. Orson Welles chews scenery. Mmm, shirtless 1958 Paul Newman, I will be thinking about you later.

@BrightSpark: Yes. And in this pic he is holding the stake that went through his head!

@newmakcity: True. But of this list, I'd argue Stalin became a tad assholish, as well?

I submit for consideration: Phineas Gage. Yes, he had an iron stake driven through his head. But still: HOTT.

Silly stuff like Shut Up and Let Me Go by the Ting Tings, Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal, and a dance mix of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream. My current obsession is "Calabria 2008 (Club Mix) [feat. Natasja]" which is one of the many versions of that song available on iTunes. Also: Dynamite, and Higher, both by Taio

@laurable: Yes, it was so OBVIOUS. They showed us an anvil in act one, and then beat us with it repeatedly in act three. Ugh.

@RetiredPartyGrrl: Ha, nope, I don't smoke anything, never have. But this movie theater does have a bar attached, and lets you bring drinks in — we should have partaken of that! Other movie patrons are irritating; I ended up sitting next to Little Susie Showchoir during "Chicago" and about wanted to strangle her

I just saw that movie last night, and we LOL'ed many times. Were we supposed to laugh? The ending struck us as hilarious, for some reason I cannot fully articulate.

@nina928: I second that recommendation on the museum, and the Seamen's Bethel is also pretty cool.

@Violet-B: Cats seem to love sleeping on warm copiers! I took this in Ashland, OR.

@LittleMissPriss: My uncle's take on "Nobody likes a smartass" is "Everbody likes a little, nobody likes a smart."

@thedopeshow: Never daunted, you shall not falter!

@SallySassyPants: Haha, OMG. I just picked Lady Chatterley's Lover for my book group's January meeting, so I'm not averse to a racy story — but suggesting erotica to a stranger on a dating site is crass indeed.
