Oh are they? I know the rumors had been circling but I didn't realize it was confirmed. Well, a party in Paris still sounds pretty fun, so more power to 'em, I guess. A friend of mine really wanted to get married in Paris but it was basically impossible without French citizenship, so she settled for Iceland (also a…

I seem to recall that Americans getting married in France is kind of a hassle if you don't have French citizenship. Maybe Kanye has some kind of residency, maybe this is a non-binding ceremony and they'll do the legal stuff stateside or maybe the French don't give a fuck once someone is rich enough, I dunno.

Truth.

Yeah she's really private about a lot of stuff. It should stay that way if she wants (although, selfishly, I'm really glad I read about this today because I always like to read any articles about Dolly, particularly ones that somehow increase her nearly unfathomably large amount of awesomeness, and then queue up my…

Yeah I don't think that's a conspiracy theory so much as a fact, to be honest. It's a rumor that's been around for years and kind of quasi-confirmed by a lot of the people involved.

The idea that TSwizzle is hanging out on 4chan kind of made my Friday.

I remember that! I'd seen MM interviewed before, like on 60 Minutes or something in the wake of Columbine and I knew he was reasonable and smart and media-savvy. It was pretty awesome to see Bill play "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN" and MM be all "your reports of my on-stage activities are greatly exaggerated, sir.…

It took me 3 YEARS to finally finish watching the West Wing, but that was before it was streaming and I had to wait for the DVDs to come and was watching it with my roommate so our schedules had to line up, then I moved in with my now-husband and had to catch him up, etc. So you're better at TV than me, is what I'm…

Ah, good to know. I really want to be the kind of person who can work out in the morning (mostly because I get up early and have lots of time at home before work anyway), but every time I've tried I end up feeling great...until 10:30am when I desperately want a nap and have to go, like, sit in a conference room with…

Pssssst. I agree. And I liked "Saved!" better as 2004 high school movie satires go.

Yeah, but lots of people live in SJ and own and then board in Saratoga or whatever (or Milpitas has some horsie stuff I think, out in the south valley). And yes, owning horses in SJ is just ostentatious considering you already paid millions of dollars for your tiny ranch house.

I grew up there too and there are lots of horseback riding and boarding places in the hills (Saratoga and such). I imagine a fair few people keep horses there or on the peninsula, like in Woodside and San Mateo? It surprised me too, though.

That's fair, but I do honestly and truly believe we're running out of ways to kill prisoners that isn't cruel and unusual.

Part of the problem is that they can't get doctors to do it. "Do no harm" and all. Executioners are not doctors, usually (ever?) and so it's often botched even when the drugs are the right cocktail and potency.

And I'd argue that it's what separates a society from a collection of vengeful people. We live by the rule of law so that we don't devolve into our basest attitudes; that's what a society is and what citizenship is supposed to guarantee. I don't believe you forefit that because you commit a heinous crime nor do I…

But cruel and unusual punishment is not. States are allowed to execute under the understanding that the prisoner feel no pain; otherwise it's torture. This was clearly state-sponsored torture.

I'm wondering the same thing. We're in month two of trying and I had some weird pregnancy test results and a late period last month and was a little freaked (not expecting it to happen in the first month!). I went out to a show with my friends, declined the proffered whisky drink and suddenly it was like "YOU'RE…

Yeah I was like....WHERE IS MY GIRL? The first movie I ever saw by myself (my mom walked around the mall while my friend and I went in with our hidden snacks. So grown up!). Also the villian is bees here. Bees!

One time i was with a dude who was like "OH SHIT. YOU SWALLOWED." And I responded, "OH SHIT. I'M TOO LAZY TO GO SPIT IT SOMEWHERE." I think you taste it more if you spit. having said that, sometimes it makes me weirdly nauseated? I get over it quickly though.

See I'm the other way around. I like Stephen Colbert much better than Stephen Colbert.
