"I've had several cases over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had rationalized in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that really made an impression was the college senior who was the president of her campus Right-to-Life organization, meaning that she had worked very hard in that organization for several years. As I was completing her procedure, I asked what she planned to do about her high office in the RTL organization. Her response was a wide-eyed, 'You're not going to tell them, are you!?' When assured that I was not, she breathed a sigh of relief, explaining how important that position was to her and how she wouldn't want this to interfere with it." (Physician, Texas)

Shouldn't he wait a little longer so it doesn't seem so non-coincidental?

Hollywood hunk Matt Damon has reportedly proposed to his bartender girlfriend Luciana Barroso after a one year courtship. The Bourne Supremacy star, 34, began dating the aspiring interior designer in April 2004 and brought her to Europe during filming on Ocean's Twelve last summer. A friend tells American magazine Us Weekly, "It's very hush-hush." When asked to confirm or deny the reports, Damon's spokesperson had no comment. The couple are currently house-hunting in Barroso's hometown of Miami, Florida, and looking at schools for the beauty's six-year-old daughter Alexa.

Kristen came over and helped me move furniture to make room for my new loveseat, which is actually 71" so it's almost a couch.

I think I have to move my desk. I think. But it will be roomier and pretty and people can come over and SIT!

Yay for sitting!

I think it'll be here in two weeks. That'll give me a bit of time to do a bit more redecorating. And then I'll have to have people over for snacks and sitting.

Yay for snacks and sitting.

Pout that I will miss it.

So I'm not the only one struck by the image of an impromptu duet of "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better," eh?

It means holy blue,

Okay, good, because that's what I told the kids. They heard it on a cartoon, and I was fairly certain that was the literal translation.

[...]but I think it's because it rhymes with sacre dieu, holy god. It's like the french equivalent of jeepers. I think.

Ah. For a brief, shining moment, my world makes sense. Thanks, Jesse.

Is it wrong that I am now trying to think of six unique messages that I would want on a Scrolling Belt Buckle?

Yes, Partyman. Yes.

We went to Children's Fairyland today (in Oakland, near Lake Merritt. Purportedly Walt's inspiration for Disneyland) because my co-editor begged me to drag Emmett along since adults can't go unattended by a child.

I was wondering what JZ was referring to, when she mentioned it, in Bitches. I didn't know if it was a place, or if she was just being poet about Emmett's imagination.
