Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

I was just going to post that Charlize Theron's dress was kinda ugly, and she needs to lay off the self tanner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe it's also because you have perfectly acceptable options for nicknames that seem to make more sense (Edu for Eduardo, Feña for Fernanda/o).

Well, sure, but not if the baby's grandparent and cousin and neighbor are already using them. I know a family that ended up with a Bill, Will, and Willis -- Willis was Bill's step-son, Will was Bill's son.

If I only had a brain...

One of the nicknames for "Lourdes" is "Lulis".

Johnny Depp needs to comb his hair. Didn't he know it was a fancy party?

He looked like he just walked in from skid row.

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

I'm going to have my PT...stopped somehow. He's on the phone with krav right now.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Bachelet is a fascinating character and a very unlikely candidate for first woman president in South America who got the office under her own steam, not as a result of a dead/deposed hubby. Agnostic, divorced, had kids out of wedlock, socialist and farther left than the outgoing socialist president, Lagos. Even though she'd been leading in the polls up to the run off, it's still kind of surreal that she actually won. We've been searching (more or less) in vain for some good media coverage in the US papers. The closest thing we got was a report that Hugo Chavez had called to congratulate her on her victory, which means she must be in the Chavez/Morales/Castro axis of evil. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

It seems like a lot of cool stuff going on in elections in SA this year, huh? On a catty note, the new Bolivian president has the same bad haircut as every person from Bolivia I've ever seen, it seems like.

Oh dear.
