The Mom of one of my close friends in high school had an on-again-off-again friends with benefits thing with Adam Duritz from Counting Crows, or so she used to tell us. She showed us pics of her hanging out with him so I always believed it.

My cousin used to date both Michael Stipe and Fred Schneider (though not at…

Oh god. Claire can get on your damn nerves, but she's cotton candy and vanilla pudding compared to Bree. I hate Bree. I loathe Bree. Probably my least favorite character after Laoghaire. Ugh.

I miss those days.

My aunt and her partner live there and run a business. I can’t tell you how many times they’ve considered packing up and leaving because they hate the Spring Break scene so much. My grandparents own a condo there so that family can visit them any time, and we never, ever go any time during the spring. I’m taking my…

I had no idea she was that age. That isn’t really old to me anyway, but yeah, I figured she was maybe forty.

Yeah, Extra Virgin is fun. Her husband makes some fantastic looking food, and they bounce off each other well. He seems like kind of a pretentious grumpus at times, and she always knocks him back down to earth (while dressed in fabulous clothes with flawless makeup. God I love her).

Just you wait.

That last incident with Claire was really hard to stomach. It really was. And I've read all the books.

Sam and Tobias have both given interviews recently talking about what a tough scene it was to film, but how they were proud of it. I'm pretty nervous.

I'm glad they included the scene. They had to - it frames the dynamic of their relationship going forward (I've read all of the Outlander books including the novellas because I'm that much of a nerd), and Claire and Jamie are still referencing it decades later. In the books it wasn't played for laughs, really. But I'm…

I absolutely love Sia's album. It's so fantastic, and I've loved all of the videos as well as the appearances she's done with and without Maddie (Kristen, Shia, the mime guy from SNL, gimme all of 'em). I think the album, especially the song Chandelier, has just gotten so famous and over-exposed that the backlash has…

Isn't Wolfgang in Van Halen now? So she may've actually been watching her son perform.

I have mixed feelings about this, but all my brain wants to do is sing loudly, “Let’s get down to business! To defeat the Huns!” in Donny Osmond’s voice.

How did her relationship with Bret go? Insofar as her famous exes go, he's the only one who seems somewhat "nice", whatever that means. Then again, he may only have mellowed due to his ongoing health problems and aging hair-band singer d-list status.

Yes, that's her! Loved her, too. Those two together were just awesome.

Also, I tweeted about this story and John Campbell then favorited my tweet.

Agreed. All except for that Holmes dude, who is/was a total douchenugget. I used to sit down every evening and watch the news when I was living there and that isn't something I do at all here. Very unbiased, straightforward reporting. I miss that.

I adore him. I don't even care who judges me. That dude has been through hell. And he's so committed to his performance art and he's just so sincere and...I just love him. I find him refreshing, in a world full of fake cookie cutter celebs. Yes, he's rather off-kilter and he's always getting into some antics, but I…

Oh, neat. Where do you hail from? I lived in Auckland, and then Rotorua, and briefly Taupo, about ten years ago. I still miss it every single day. I wish I'd never left to come back to the States.

Aww. This makes me happy. I lived in New Zealand for a few years and got attached to a couple of the newscasters. John Campbell was one of them. He just seemed like such a nice dude. This makes me a little nostalgic for my second home.
