I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Don’t’ know what you consider cheap, but I’m a big fan of Jones New York. Their suits are separates, which is good for my weird body, and the styles are very classic. I still own my first JNY suit that I bought after college. A jacket and a bottom would run about $300, but if you hit Macy’s at the right time, you can do much better. They also do great plus sizes.

Also, JNY is often at Marshall's/TJ Maxx. That's where I got my suit from.

Allyson, that day sounds faboo. May it be so.

Art Crawl!!!

Reading that "bitch" article. You know what pisses me off? You can't use the word in the original meaning on tv. Or at least the people who are commentators on televised dogshows now seem to say "female" when they mean bitch.

Except for the BIS judge at Westminster. It was refreshing to hear her call that nice GSP bitch a "bitch".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So, I remember someone complaining about the big stretched pig Web ads she was seeing. I'd like to add my vote (in the category GetThisOffMyScreenNow of the Year) for the little "hit the bug and win an iPod" ads. Or any that feature speedy little cockroaches crawling through the ad, and thus in the corner of my vision while I'm trying to read a page. Eeeuch.

I turned off flash, which helped with some of them.

So I guess my firm is the only one with problems accessing nytimes.com, etc. (Also Drudge.) Weird.

Yeah, I e-mailed you something along those lines. And, er, porn.

Watch me scramble inelegantly to open my e-mail.

Possible y'all have spyware or a virus controlling your horizontal and verticalbrowser.

Thank you! Incidentally, that bar he was discovered at is literally across the street from my building.

The Slashdot article doesn't mention it, but his songs are downloadable from adultswim.com. I don't have the exact link, though, because I'm blocked at work from it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mmm. Bison.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

the cockroaches are disturb-a-rama.

It always reminds me of Infinite Jest, and how the death throes of network TV were both signalled and speeded by advertisements for tongue-scrapers -- they were so disgusting that they actually made people stop watching, but as people stopped watching they were the only advertisers the channels could get.

Alas, the cockroaches probably don't signal the demise of the pages featuring them, or of whatever company's responsible for them. But they should.
