It's a paraphrase of Catherine Deneuve, who said something about how a woman of a certain age has to choose between being very thin (i.e. having a nice butt) and looking gaunt on the face, or being a little more well-padded and having a beautiful face and a chubby butt.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So the leasing offices for my apartment complex burned last night. I slept through it.
Eek! That is creepy.
I enjoy the high-heeled sandals as well.
So, I actually have work to do today! Do I want to do it? No I do not.

Oh good Lord, who put Zhang Ziyi in that colour? No one, repeat NO ONE should ever be allowed to leave the house in anything remotely resembling lime green.
It was a touch too bright to be lime. I say, as one who frolics madly in fields of lime green clothing and looks good doing it.
However, I still adored the dress.
I'm just happy that the fad for beige formalwear seems to have passed. Very few people can pull of beige. Those who can, oddly, tend to be those who can also pull off lime green.

The French have been saying it for a long time, apparently; Olivia de Havilland mentions it in her memoirs as something she heard in the 1960s.

Did anyone else watch The Colbert Report last night? I was wondering if he was going to address MLK Day, and he did so, brilliantly.
