It’s at 27 because it was on sale for all of an hour before last week’s Billboard charts deadline. It will be at #1 next week.

For any girls who had a crush on Bradley Whitford during his West Wing prime, I can confirm he’s also still pretty cute in person and awesome. I had the surreal experience of spending the day with him at the White House in Nov. I was literally like, “Josh Lyman is taking me on a tour, OMG OMG OMG,” for about 8 hrs…

Last summer, I watched all of Sports Night on Netflix, which then led me to binging most of West Wing for more Aaron Sorkin and Bradley Whitford, and then onto The Good Wife for more Josh Charles. I revisited all my junior high crushes.

This is giving me life on a stressful Monday.

I just read her Wiki page and she’s a kick ass lady!

I don’t know where, but I need to have “my lips are real!” tattooed someplace on my body.

I’m an adjuct for a graduate level course at a prominent university and I’m always bewildered by this trend as well. Students who do the work and focus on achievement rate my class highly; the ones who do nothing and are given Cs evaluate my class negatively.

Exactly. I live in DC and can be in a pretty rural area of VA (Loudon County, for example) in about 45 min.

I cannot make this pic anything other than GIANT and I’m dying as a result.

WTF with your vet? Cats with FIV can live a long happy life. Why would you take her back for that reason? You need a new vet asap.

Ha, no, DC has a ton of green space and deer are actually a problem in some areas. This neighborhood is right next to the National Zoo, so maybe these deer are on their way to play with the panda!

This one brought me to tears. So awful and so well defined— this woman was denied her constitutional right and suffered terribly as a result.

Also reporting from DC, where we have an epic video of deer frolicking down the middle of a deserted city street.

Yeah, she was on Millihelen once, I think!

Free on Hulu!

Especially a good runny egg!

I even have a problem with faux fur. I worry that people will think it’s real fur, or that I think fur is fashionable. It’s not easy to find a cute winter coat without some sort of fur element!

Are there any good national mentoring orgs you can recommend? I’ve really been considering mentoring (I’m not an old, but I am a white), and the Big Brothers, Big Sisters website was sort of a turnoff for me because all the success stories they feature are of men.

There better be an open thread with this group of women on Jan 24!
