Yay Robin for the new doggie!

Yay for the new doggie!

Naveen Andrews is damn hawt in Kama Sutra, which was on IFC tonight. The lead actress in Bride and Prejudice has been called by Roger Ebert "the most beautiful woman in the world," and he wonders why she's not getting more roles from Hollywood.

I'm a history geek--I named my cat after an Egyptian archaeology dig site (Amarna). It was either that, Nefertiti, or Hashepsut, so I think I chose the right name (if I had thought of it, I might have gone for Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess instead, but that would have given me the same problem that sarameg has).

Thanks for the printer advice, everyone! I got home and found a 10% off coupon for Best Buy in the mail, but of course it doesn't apply to printers less than $149, which is way more than I want to spend. I'll probably go with an HP, but I'm going to also look into Canons, if they're cheaper with ink replacement.

The OC is making my head hurt. Why is everyone being such doobers?

Hi Karl,

long time no type.

It is interesting that CATO's favored German economist chose to focus on people with THREE or more jobs. Cause if you look at peaple with two or more jobs, then you are talking more than 5 percent of the working population:

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, about 7 to 8 million of us -- about 5+ percent of all workers -- work multiple jobs

you know what, I don't think Ryan is being so doobery. I like how he ended it. Also, Seth, sadly acting in character, at least for this season. But I'm a noted Seth apologist.

I agree on Ryan, Kat. I hadn't gotten to that point yet.

I figured. He's a cutiehead, but he desperately needs a haircut.

Kristen is driving me nuts though.

Hey, you're good at shopping-where is a good place to buy suits?

what kind, Lee?

Anne Taylor is usually my favorite choice.

If you want seperates, try the Robinsons May near the CPK (Amanda Smith is my fave designer that they carry because her suits have a bit of lycra and therefore don't wrinkle).

I bought several separates that work well as suits there (jackets with complementary skirts and pants).

Hi Karl,

long time no type.

Instead of inflicting my politics on Natter I've just been putting it on LiveJournal where I have a right to control the topic. Address is in my profile.

Oh and "Cowboy Capitalism" is put out by the Cato Institute.

I'm glad the one person who could tell me that was around tonight. That's kind of a sneaky way to catch people who wouldn't link to your numbers but are being sloppy Google sourcers -- I shouldn't do that. I would still have cited Cato even if I knew, though, because it's all I know. (The 5% number is the 1 in 19 I mentioned.)

Anyway, paying down debt is closely related to staying afloat.

I think it's the budget debates that have me thinking of paying down debt as something you might do, optionally, if you get a surplus, or you can just keep stringing the interest along. But I suppose most people are either paying debt down or sinking in it, not at a magic balancing point where they can just keep servicing it forever.

Edit: Quick Takes in the Sun-Times has the final word on this issue:

Close, but not quite. Uniquely American these days is working three jobs, none of them with health benefits.
