Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I loved Bodyworlds, and wanted to know more. Wanted to know what they really looked like, how they died, all sorts of things. I didn't, however, like it enough to see Bodyworlds II, since most of my questions are about the first people. Ali -- was there a lot of blond pubic hair in II?

I didn't see any pubic hair, but there sure were a lot of penises. And some of the bodies had faces. And one had pretty distinctive tattoos on his hands. And there was a camel, and a colt.

I love that she'll be princess consort. I totally want to be a princess consort. It's like a princess, I'm thinking, with better sex.

Eww. With Charles? I prefer to think that they just sit at the dinner table, and stare at each other for hours. Like robots on standby. Though I wish them no harm, for the record. I just prefer not to think of the details of them as a couple.

The report on Charles and Camilla this morning on the CBC had one royal watcher saying that in order for Camilla to be the Duchess of Cornwall, there would have to be legislation allowing it, not only in Britain, but all the commonwealth territories, and in Canada, in all provinicial legislatures. I don't know if they will be held to that, however.

Wait, in Canada? I realize there are still ties between these two countries, and that the Queen goes on their money, and things, but how separated are they really?

Also, random: today's outfit white v-neck top, 3/4 length sleeves, pink velvet pants (wide legged as all my pants are), pink clogs, pink pearl necklace, white pearl earrings (too lazy to change them). This is a particularly rocking outfit when I am tan.

Pink pearls!

I am very excited because the BF and I are going to go see the play "Anna in the Tropics" for V-day.

I just read that. Unfortunately, I wasn't nearly as impressed as I wanted to be. Are you going to see it in Pasadena, Robin?

Jury duty needs better compensation, as far as I can tell. Who can afford to get picked, for instance, for the Michael Jackson jury?

From what I understand, you only get about $5 a day for jury duty in CA. I got $40 a day in NY. Which makes me prefer to serve there, if necessary. Big difference.

I'm sorry for your stress, Kat. I have a kit with the stomper and it works pretty well.

I am ita. Except not as buff. Or deadly. But, yes, the software that came with my stomper kit lines up the images just fine.

Professional jurors.

I considered this for the Blake trial. I would have been willing to quit my job and be a professional juror if they paid more.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes. Alibelle, in Pasadena.

Bodyworlds is in Chicago now. I might go check it out one of these days.

I'm looking to replace my very old Epson printer for a new one of any brand. Any preferences out there?

I like Canon printers because instead of a $40 printer with $30 ink cartridges, you get a $120 printer with $5 ink cartridges. I have a Multipass MP390 that also acts as a photocopier and scanner. It also comes with text recognition software that scans documents into an editable Word document.

There was just a hit and run right next to my school, killing somebody.

Yes. Alibelle, in Pasadena.

Neat. I hope it's awesome!

It is interesting, but gross as hell. For the most part, it was easy enough to think of it all as fake, except for the teeth, which are of course, very recognizable. Also, belly buttons look really weird, without the skin around them. IMO, of course.

Alibelle, we are a constitutional monarchy, and she is our Queen.

Really? That's so awesome. How come I never realized Canada wasn't a completely independent country? Wait. Don't you have an Independence Day? On July 1? Teach me history, please?
