Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
On the day he died, I saw it in the Metro section-long column on the front. I immediately assumed it was a different Douglas Adams. Then ran crying to Mr. Jane, and that night we all did shots on the rooftop of the bar, under the stars and read from The Book of Adams.
Tonight I plan on whiskey, the Daily Show and "Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She?"
I recall both of those campaigns, and I was a kid. And nearly coming to blows with my best friend's jackass cousin from Texas in their den over Clayton Williams, that fucking jackass. Scared the shit out of that boy, I'm happy to say.
Growing up next to Texas, with all the local stations being from Texas? Pretty close to being there. Which I'm glad of now, for knowing of AR and MI.
They said they were afraid women would laugh at them....which makes us laugh, harder.
I'm going to miss Molly. She and Keith Olbermann are Queen and King Liberal Snarkmasters in my mind.
I'm bummed for more shallow reasons now--the swimsuit I ordered in the hopes of being able to use it starting this weekend at the lap pool arrived tonight, and has proved to be cut for a woman of more traditional weight issues than mine (IOW, it's designed for a woman with hips and tits, not an apple-shaped one like me). Now I have to mail it back tomorrow and look elsewhere for another swimsuit. My sister found a few at Junonia, so I'm going to take a look over there on payday this Friday.
This is funny:
Out of a million favorite Molly stories: her separation from The Grey Lady is rumored to have taken place after she referred to a chicken cleaning competition as a "gang pluck"
the General Electric Building? (formerly the RCA/Victor building)
I want to marry that building!!! I am a total Art Deco freak!
Top Chef: Well, I'm sad. I just hated everyone on Ilan's team. And I had hoped that this year they would be rewarding creativity but I guess not. I hope that Marcel finds lots of opportunities after this.
And ION, my apartment is FREEZING. I have now turned ALL the heaters up to high and I can't get it to 60 degrees. My hands are shivering on the keyboard. I'm amazed I can type at all.
Me too, Sumi. As much as Marcel is an irritating little git, his food looked really good, and really creative. (I don't know that I'd call it "innovative" with Wylie Dufresne at the table, but it was definitely a more advanced menu than Ilan put out.)
Yeah, I was kind of bummed at that too.
Ok, this is my proof: I am going to bed NOW.
