Yeah, my mom is a Fanilow. I was in Vegas several years ago when he had a standing show at the Paris, and the only reason I came out of that trip in the red was because I spent a shit ton of money on Barry Manilow souvenirs for my mom. She’s seen him in concert I would guess at least 6 times. And I know all the…

“They should be ashamed of themselves. They’ve humiliated themselves, humiliated their families, and now they’re going to be held accountable for what they did,” said Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson.

I have not read the book, so I don’t know, but I was wondering the same thing. I think it was to make us freak out more. In the words of a song that would have been more appropriate, how about a little less conversation and a little more action!

A) that’s not Adam Scott singing

I am extremely worried about how much fire there is at this party.

Elvis and Audrey is the theme. And yes, that’s pretty fucking random and stupid. Rich people.

There are yellow tinted sunglasses built in to protect your eyes but it still takes a minute to adjust and see past the lights and then readjust after but so far no problems with lingering effects.

Yeah, the lights should definitely be visible and pinkish. I always have to squint when I turn it on until my eyes adjust. And then they automatically turn off at the end. The selfie potential should be clearly evident if the mask is functioning (see below). But they also used to make an anti-aging mask with yellow…

Yeah, that’s the part with the counter. The pin is attached to the mask and plugs into the controller that holds the batteries and the counter. You can easily rewire it to by-pass the counter OR there is supposedly a way to reset the count with a paperclip. I haven’t tried yet, but it seems very doable. The…

Built-in obsolescence. It can be gotten around. I haven’t tried it myself yet (only had the mask like a week), but the video tutorials are convincing.

I actually just got the Neutrogena mask and I love it. Not only is it keeping my skin healthier in terms of less acne, areas of splotchiness and inflammation are lessened. I have had dermatitis on my upper lip since I hit puberty (so over 20 years) and several doctors botched what should have been a short-lived…

Unique Vintage has a lot of retro stuff that is similar to stuff I’ve seen on Mod Cloth.

I may have once yelled at a cable customer service rep. To get my TCM back while refusing to pay more. Maybe if I call Comcast and yell at them we can have Robert Osborne back again?

Omg I can’t believe I forgot about his intro to Daddy’s Boy! That was such a wonderful touch to end that episode and I love that he was so game.

Like many people here, I’ve gone through stretches where the ever present TCM, including the soothing voice of Robert Osborne, helped me get through tough time. Even when I’d read the description of the movie in the Guide and thought, “I’m not interested and since it’s on at 3am, it probably isn’t good, but it’s…

Twins. Kwan and Steve.

WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING

Related to the Businessweek cover...

It looks like something that would have been baked in a pan that had sides...like it was done in a spring form pan that they then removed the sides from before filming...because the sides of the pan would have really ruined the impact of the moment. There is no way the sides would be that vertical without structure to…

Fitz and Mellie were governor and first lady of California before he was president, so it’s a home state advantage thing. They used that kind of trope a bit on The West Wing also with Alan Alda’s character being a Republican CA Senator who had a shot at winning CA (until things literally got nuclear).
