You make good points. And thank you! I like to think things are getting better work-wise, I'm still temping and doing a lot of background though.

He's already liked one of my posts so I think it's too late to block with no drama. I know you're right, but I'm just so curious. He must want something! He sort of aspires to work in entertainment and I am afraid that maybe he saw me in something? Like in a weird indie thing, or saw me as an extra in something normal…

I stupidly accepted a friend request from someone I dated a couple years ago. (This is the guy from the "Never Trust A Frenchman Who Doesn't Eat Cheese" life lesson.) He still seems kind of douchey. I'm not sure what he wants, or why I accepted. *sigh*

This is serious stuff, you should have a conversation with the fiance and see if you can't get back some control of the day. At least over the guest list.

Look, I don't care why he is dangerous to people. I care that he IS dangerous to people. He has done this to at least two people we know of, and one felt strongly enough that it was rape to go to court over it. Is there a point at which you would be comfortable with the community knowing he is dangerous? If a third…

There's no shame in being good at a lot of things. Few people are great, by definition. And it would be isolating to be great at something. You'd have few peers, and you might not even be able to talk to them. They might be super-competitive with you. And many people in general would resent you and your greatness.…

My understanding from the article is that he's done this before. And I think court-ordered (maybe sentencing is the wrong word) treatment is appropriate. And certainly if this is a pattern of behavior for him, he should be on a registry or something where it would come up on a background check if a potential partner…

Hospitals, schools, prisons etc test staff for TB. But it's a hospital, medical staff could come into contact with an infected person (not even a patient necessarily, it could be a visitor) without knowing it.

Even if he didn't do it intentionally, he did violate her. I'm curious about what will happen here; I feel like he should be sentenced to treatment at least and maybe be on a sex offender registry or something. Because it's not okay for him to keep assaulting women in this way .

Well she was beefing with Clive Davis at one point. So she does pick some strange battles.

I suspect that some NFL players get away with some crimes because they are famous athletes, though. I don't have proof of this, obviously, but historically it has happened. I mean, cops letting an athlete go in exchange for an autograph, etc. And even as a high school athlete, I used to get out of little scrapes…

Oooh fair point.

Shouldn't a business like Cavalli be showing clothes for more than 2 customers though? Especially since these are ostensibly women's clothes and you named two elderly men as the potential buyers?

I love Gwyneth, but she seems legitimately crazy. (Good crazy, not bad crazy). I like that she's confident and somewhat pretentious, but still kind of a keener or a perfectionist or whatever. It seems like she wants to get an A+, you know?

I do hope her friend William Joel will be able to attend.

I used to work for a doctor like this. She was in private practice in NYC. To be fair, getting reimbursed from insurance is also a nightmare. Lots of her patients would submit bills to their own insurance and she was very accommodating about giving them a second copy of the bill or whatever they needed to make that…

The label system is broken, but the artist does at least make money, unlike with an illegal download. And seriously, there's a lot of work that goes into making the music that comes out of major labels: the musicians, the team of writers, the marketing, the royalties administration people, the executive assistants who…

Hunter is amazing in that terrible late 80s-early 90s way. The big blondish white dude is supposed to be from an Italian crime family, and his lady cop partner (McCall) is nicknamed "The Brass Cupcake." If you are a fan of good/bad tv, you need to see it. RIP Mr Brown.

I think the Big 3 networks are basically sort of dying a slow death right now. Most of the acclaimed shows are on cable.

Sometimes when I am down I watch MST3k and it helps (most of the eps are on YouTube). Also, RoadHouse always cracks me up. As an added bonus, it features Patrick Swayze's naked backside circa 1988.
