That is something called Mokume Gane, meaning "wood grain" in Japanese. It's a way of folding several metals together to get a marbled effect, and is done with the same techniques you use to fold metal in a sword. My husband always wanted a mokume gane wedding ring, even back when he figured he's never get married.…

That is SUPER exciting! Congratulations!

My engagement ring was chosen by the both of us from a couple of rings my mother brought from her safe-deposit box. She was thinking I would take the diamond out and get it reset, but these rings were art-deco from the thirties! The one I picked belonged to my great aunt, and the only thing we did was get it sized (I…

My dad is awesome! He played the Master in our Doctor Who wedding! I will call him when he gets back from his business trip. ^_^

That's an awesome story! We found the name as a character from the webcomic Questionable Content; we thought it was beautiful, and researched it. It means "Graceful."

I read your comment to my husband and he remarked: "It's going to be a popular name soon enough!" I like this trend. Hail Sagan!

Me and my husband intend on naming our future daughter Hannelore. We like older names. We plan on naming a son Sagan, after Carl Sagan. It's also my husband's middle name.

Off topic, but your name always sticks that song in my head, accompanied by the pipe organ, the way I heard it as a kid. I need to find that tape. (yeeessss, cassette. I dunno how successful that search is going to be.)

I need to eat some cookies RIGHT NOW. If I eat more cookies, maybe I can sing like Adele!

I don't think that dress is very flattering, but she's def. not fat. But they way the bodice meets the belt of that dress gives her The Shortest Torso Of The Universe.

Well, DAMN. That's just sexy.

My weight fluctuates every freaking month! Pretty much everyone I know does the same. I remember, weren't they doing the same thing to Lady Gaga?

It's FOX news to you. Reactionary and loud.

Me too.

Lena Dunham is adorable. She looks soft and comfy, and I find her teeth really cute... which feels weird, and not something I usually focus on.

Kelly Clarkson is fat?

OMG they are all wearing the hairstyle I rocked when I had long hair! I wore a version of it in my wedding!

As someone who has recently developed a rather nasty allergy to Red 40 and Caramel Coloring, my ass is going straight to the store to try their M and M variant, cause it would be nice to eat candy again without worrying about allergies.
