I think the inability to act in all-around in this cast. Yeesh.

Hear hear! I say this after emerging from a month-long search from a bridesmaid dress this very afternoon. The bride had very specific ideas of the dress: floor-length halter dress, with a sash and/or straps in an alternate color that the body of the dress. No actual colors had been selected though. After we had…

Aww, I think he meant Annie Hall... cute.

I did the Bridget Jones thing a few weeks back at the gym. I had done a great deal of lunges, and then I got a spin bike, and my legs were done cooperating with me. In fact I referenced Bridget Jones while trying to upright myself, and no one around me got it, thereby increasing my already sizable embarrassment. …

Gone to Soldiers by Marge Piercy. Wow. I remember reading it at night in bed in college and trying to hard not to wake my roommate with my sobs. Yikes.

One has to wonder if Andy Dick ever actually acts in an orderly fashion...

My father, a construction worker, was working on the remodel of a department store - Macy's (then Field's) on State Street actually. While on the job, a "fragrance demonstrator" stopped him in an aggressive manner to ask him if he would like to try such-and-such for Men. My father, being the type of man who thinks…

Thank you for sharing in my geekiness.

Well, there had best be a Hammurabi's Code week too, dag nambit!

Whaaa...?? I can't even manage to sleep with a bra on, much less a fancy, corrective one. No thank you, ma'am!

Rebecca Romijn's dress looks like something I would have put on my Barbie in 1988. Not it a bad way, though.

Last I remember, they had an intramural-type league with Roosevelt, but that was it. I guess this is a dance they throw in the spring now, and it has no affiliation with sports. Why they call it homecoming though, I'm not sure.

Ke dollarsign ha wrote the newest single, if that helps things make sense. Not "Hold It Against Me," but the one that's about dancing to the apocalypse. Or something.

I went to Columbia College for 6 years (frequent major/minor changer), and I hadn't the foggiest that we had a homecoming, much less a homecoming court. Apparently I needed to leave the Studio theaters more often.

I am the exact same way. It's just the metal-on-metal "ping" combined with the sound of it breaking through the nail that quite literally makes me queasy.

Did this leap to mind for anyone else?:

I'd say Renaissance Faires come pretty close to the Shakespeare geekery you are describing. There is an entire subculture of theater people who take their Ren Faire, Shakespeare, and stage combat swordplay really seriously. And I assure you, they are indeed considered the geeks of the theater scene.

Awesome, thanks! I just finished reading the article on body farms on How Stuff Works and am thoroughly impressed with how they operate.

Wow, I would totally do this. I would feel terribly guilty about occupying space on the earth when I'm dead, and have always wanted some sort of cremation. But this is an even more guilt-free way to exit. I've also considered those body farms where they study decomposition under different conditions. I'd love to…

This is, without a doubt, terrible. I sincerely hope CPS intervenes.
