@Red Parchment: I was afraid I was the only one! Loved the video & loved watching Janet perform, but seeing her in Michael's arms at the end plus the sad expression on Janet's face as the audience cheered, made me a bit weepy.

Did everybody get to hear Rich on "This American Life" this weekend? I wasn't expecting it and - swear to god - I clapped my hands and squealed with delight when I realized it was him!!!

I don't understand. Are they suggesting that eating meat causes these men to ingest excess estrogen?

@Trilby O'Ferrall: You probably won't see this, but just in case you return to this thread I wanted you to know that I understand what you're saying and I agree with you.

Closure? Seriously? Has anyone ever experienced this phenomenon before? I mean, have you ever had a conversation with a recent ex, talked over what went wrong, and suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of ... closure?

@palebluepixie: Word.

@Gobiasomecoffee: Just gave your definition a thumbs up! And a TON of other definitions a thumbs down. Gawd, that place is a nightmare of ignorance and hatred! Jezebel should encourage people do go over there & vote.

My first thought: I hope this doesn't preempt the premiere of "Glee". My priorities are seriously fucked. :(

This episode reminded me of that line from Singin' In The Rain : "Dignity. Always dignity". I suspect that's Don's secret mantra.

@AnotherJenn: Jenn, I saw the same thing you did in those clips. And I'm not a mom.

Doree, I really don't understand the final sentence of your piece. I thought the clips showed that the characters (and therefore, the creators) are showing respect to each woman's choice.

@rixatrix: Your mom sounds a lot like my mom! She definitely loved us kids to bits & encouraged us in tons of ways, but she has always had her own outside interests, too. She's an artist and a musician and a writer and an educator. She loves to travel (and she and my dad often took off on romantic weekends without us…

@rightorwrong: First of all, it's Garner, NORTH Carolina. It's just outside of Raleigh. There was a gas leak in one of the pump rooms & they suspect that lead to the explosion. 3 workers were killed.

Katie Roiphe's piece totally backfired on me. I really like babies and I've always thought I'd have one of my own one day. But reading about that "opium den" atmosphere of maternity leave has scared the ever-lovin' shit out of me. I don't want to have kids if I'm going to feel ADDICTED to them. I was hoping I'd just,…

@colligate: That has confused me, too. If they're trying to say that heavier people are whales and they want us to save them, then that means we need to do all we can to keep them heavy, right? So are they just trying to get people to eat more french fries and bloomin onions?

@The Queen of No: That's the way I heard it, too. I thought Don was telling Betty to eat oatmeal because it's more substantial than toast.

When are they finally going to just name a film "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" and get it over with?

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this! Before tonight I have never been able to watch Project Runway live in my own home. I didn't see Seasons 1 & 2 when they originally aired because I hadn't caught on to the fabulousness yet. Then my friends taught me The Way Of The Gunn and I was hooked. Unfortunately, that…

Awww ... what a sweet little love story!

@Sev: One can only hope she develops enough humility and wisdom to feel that way.
