However, I am really impressed that ABC is really giving her the full court press this season. NPR did a story this week on how the addition of Thu night football to network TV (rather than being on cable only) is affecting the rest of network programming, and one consequence is that ABC doubled-down on its female…

Sword-fighting. Like with actual swords. :) I was a theater major at a school with a really good stage combat program, and all of the guys I liked for a period of time were always practicing one scene or another.

My dog HATES football. The sound of any sports game makes her anxious as all hell. It makes me nuts. If I want to watch at home, I have to hide in another room, find someone to occupy her, and even then I sometimes listen to the game thru headphones on the radio while I watch the TV picture. She's just a poor little…

Agreed. We should be Hollywood makeup artists; apparently we have the methods down.

I was going to go with greasy. Something between the sheen on her skin and that particular shade of highlight. Wait! It's sunscreen + sand. That's what it reminds of.

But hey, you surveyed your guests and went with what was ideal for them. That's beyond considerate in my book. (And my goodness you paid for their airfare- you must have a really enjoyable circle of friends!)

Any way you cut it, holiday weddings are a pain in the arse. Some people take family holidays very seriously, and I can't imagine asking them to forgo those gatherings to watch me in a big white dress. Then there are others, like me, who take our Memorial Days and Labor Days very seriously because I appreciate the…

That is precisely what I thought! Actually, I was thinking it needed some sort of color in the tie somewhere, but your suggestion is right on.

Best college nap spot ever was the Orange Line in Chicago. Get on downtown with your UPass (unlimited rides for the semester), ride around the Loop to Midway. Get off, grab some coffee at Dunkin Donuts, get back on and back to school. I am probably lucky I never had anything stolen from me.

I very much like your idea. Because I agree, if you have large breasts, you don't want more stuff going on in front. But would you put the iPod/iPhone in the bra before you putting it ? My arms are too short/inflexible to reach back there once it would be on. I'm impressed you work it the way you do already.

I just find Drake so underwhelming. He's like the Diet Coke of dudes. But then again, I'm not one to discourage Diet Coke if that's what is called for either.

Precisely.

Oh good gumdrops, Chris Pratt AND Vincent D'Onofrio in one room, or one film for that matter, would just make my little heart explode.

I do not mean to gloat by telling you how often I go to Ikea, but I am more than happy to mail you roughly 10 or so of those damn blue bags.

Thank you. :)

Isn't it terrible how if you've stuggled with depression, that detail just makes it crystal clear? I never really wondered what would make it not worth it anymore until I found out I'm facing some pretty serious surgery somewhat soon-ish and my mobility may be impaired if all doesn't go well. And then I knew I…

Spent a good thiry seconds trying to figure out how one breaks up with one's future fiance. (face palm)

Good to know - thanks!

I'm confused too - I'm followed by Kitchenette, which is a sub-thread of Jezebel (if that's even the correct technical term). So I wonder if that oks me across Jezebel or no. I suppose we'll all find out!

That seems fun. They must have been very cheery!
