AAAAAAAH!

When a recipe says season "to taste," is there any good rubric for determining approximately how much salt or other seasonings to use? I'm a vegetarian, but often cook meat for my husband and other friends. How can I know what's a reasonable amount?

Silurians came from a pre-human earth. So really, they should have the same dinosaurs we do. Did. Whatever.

I love this idea that Obama "hasn't run anything." He's been the president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. FOR FOUR YEARS.

Yeah, but Palin was just covering up for the fact that it was a teenage Bristol running the marathon.

That's how I read it too. Like the Daleks are conniseurs of hatred, and the Doctor's is exeptional, like the divine rage of Achilles.

Tyra always teaches waitresses how to "booty tooch"? Like, when she's eating out, or does she teach a night class or something? Also, booty tooch!?

I was picturing a tattoo of MJ (in iconic jacket, ray bans, and a single glove, natch) blowing out the candles on a cake, while bubbles, Macaulay Culkin, the guy from Big Bang, and Nancy Reagan stand alongside, holding balloons.

Wow.

That is fantastic.

His sister, Caroline Herschel, was also an accomplished astronomer, responsible for the discovery of several comets. I wrote a weird little story about the two of them a few years ago: [www.norasawyer.com]

I'm a 34-year old woman, and realized a few years ago that my fashion sense (long coats and scarves, frilly shirts, vests) was set early on by repeated childhood viewings of Doctor Who. So yeah: I pretty much would like every last one of these outfits. Particularly the steampunky corsety #5 ones. Yum.

Yeah, at least do it someplace classy, like the tomb of Abelard and Héloïse.

Oh, and 'After Tupac and D Foster' by Jacqueline Woodson. Very well written, and one of the best evocations of 13-year-old-girlhood I've ever read.

I'm a huge fan of E. Lockhart's books, particularly The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks. They're laugh out loud funny, and wicked smart. I wish they'd been around when I was a teen.

This is why I was always more of a Gonzo gal. Not only is he a wackadoo dreamer, he is devoted to Camilla.

Ding Dingley Dick. Now that's a name.

I heard a few good woman in white stories in college. The first was about a young woman who had lived on the farm that eventually became the college campus (this was Marlboro College in Vermont). She fell in love with a traveling salesman, but he left her pregnant and heartbroken. Humiliated and bereft, she hung…

That preview was too darn short. :/
