God, I miss Hillary.

i've seen at least three running skirts here in minneapolis, and let me say they are all very short. actually made me stare like a dirty old woman.

@ChristieLove: just a resident. apparently, if i wanted to gain citizenship in another country, i'd have to forfeit my american citizenship for good (so i've been told).

welcome to my adopted home: Norway - where women get one year paid maternity leave and fathers get six months of paid paternity leave. (and of course, basically free healthcare)

@rocknrollunicorn: right there with you - just the other day, i was thinking i need to get some thermals and flannel shirts, listen to more Pearl Jam, and get back to my youth.

in reference to the first item, "Sordid Lives" looks amazing!

i got a slight Benicio Del Toro vibe there for just a second

and this is why i don't wear sunglasses, because they still make me squint my eyes in the sun like that, and then i end up with these little fine lines up there.

as an orchestral musician, any time i hear the brass/percussion snickering behind me, i immediately start with this phobia. every single time. and the worst thing you can do is turn around.

honestly, Lilo looks like a totally different girl: her skin is glowing, she looks healthy and genuinely happy. very heartening.

between Kirsten, Elijah, and now Christina,.. i guess this means i have to go get some plaid shirts now, right?

@EdnasEdibles: i actually really loved Prep, but then again i also fall into the category of intelligent and yet socially awkward & sexually frustrated plain janes. true, most reviewers can't stand the main character (whose name i forget...) but i related to her so strongly. which may also explain why i have so few…

@Mama Penguino: i know, i always sound so angry about it! but my maternal instinct is limited to puppies; i just don't think kids are cute at all. and i also don't see any redeeming qualities to children, especially in situations like weddings or concerts.

ban them. also from concert halls and movie theaters. i never say anything when children are creating a disturbance, but since i have the floor:

Milo = 5'6" and 145 lbs

@little stripes: ever catch Monkey Tuesday? seriously made my day as i was organizing the sample closet at my temp job a few years ago

i´m sorry, but "that girl with the daisy freshness" made me laugh so obnoxiously loud right now. good thing there´s no one else in the room.

Italian soccer players are so much nicer to look at than the NY Jets (or any football players, really, with all that padding, and the spandex pants, the helmets..)

they should be talking to these girls for chrissake, not speculating amongst themselves. i know, i know, privacy and all, fine. but they´re the only ones who can verify this.

wait, is Lapo´s tie tucked into his pants??
