@Penny Plastic: My high school had several exchange programs, and for some reason the visiting students were ALWAYS taken to Provincetown. I guess it was to show them how lovely and tolerant the U.S. is (ahem), but more often than not they came away with the vague idea that homosexuals have to live in gay-designated…

I've had dreams like this, but the exam room is also my high school biology class which is also on one of those crowded trains in India, which is also the Orange MBTA line, which is running through the desert in AZ for some reason.

@Fridge Hussy :Is on Crappy Pop Video Detox Since 26/4/09: Aha. Good. I feel much better.

@Fridge Hussy :Is on Crappy Pop Video Detox...: She's a gun? Daggy? I feel really old right now.

@LaComtesse: I swear I read it in dirtbag a few weeks ago. And I think she was photographed at a pet store buying pig food.

@LaComtesse: Wasn't she also looking into getting a pet pig? Or had gotten one?

@haguenite: I'm baffled by the excitement and amazement the gossip mags have for post-pregnancy weight loss. Like, yes, stars tend to lose the weight really quickly, but I don't know anyone who didn't lose their pregnancy weight within, like, a year. It's not like you put on weight because you started eating 2k…

"Rebecca Romijn Lost 60 Lbs. after Twins - Without Exercise!"

You know, the real story here is untold- what you were making with a sponge, an onion and a bag of navy beans.

@jeepgirl: I know, it's making my skin itch just thinking about it.

So a few cycles ago, didn't some of the girls win gowns from some designer and were told off for wearing them to panel? And then Teyona shows up and it's ok? Like, that's not a running-around sundress she had on there, you know?

@the dodo, the cuckoo, and the nene: I'm always shocked at how just about every girl gets in the cab and is like "Let's go here first." Wouldn't the sensible thing to do be, oh, I don't know, ask the native cab driver what the best route to hit these places would be? Like he knows the city, whereas you've just…

Aussie Fashion Week or still from Girl, Interrupted?

CNN says that the child who died was brought to Texas from Mexico for treatment and was not a US citizen. Not that it's any less sad or tragic, but it's also not like this flu has sickened and killed Americans now. Whatever it is that is making this lethal to Mexicans has not crossed the border.

I have a really hard time believing the bathroom floor at Spago is covered in "standing pools of urine and feces". Sorry, lady.

It is just unfair that one person be this sexy.

@slowpoke.r: Oh, I know. However, when I was 22, I did not know. Ah, youth.

@veronykah: You know, I think maybe it is a Boston thing, because I know what you and several other people have said about hard eye contact, and I've seen it work in other parts of the country, but here, as PhoebeC said above me, you can make solid eye contact with the bartender, even nod, like, yes, I'd like a drink…

@sara-without-an-h: Aha. That's a bit better than earning 500000 pounds and taking home only 90k of it. Still more taxes than I think I'd like to pay, but I'm also not about to make 500k pounds a year anytime soon, so they point it rather moot.

The tax rate was EIGHTY TWO percent in England in 1982? Whoa. I'm confused though, I thought that's when the government was broke and there were all those power cuts? Or was this after and they were trying to refill their coffers?
