Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Better he should walk around looking hot for people who appreciate him.

What is even happening?

It's not cheap, though: >[link]

I guess not. We'll have to look into that fund raising option.

Cindy, that sounds excellently cool.

The letter was really kind of lovely. I may have teared up a little.

I'm worried that this is "energy" given to me by the insane amounts of B2 I'm taking for migraine prophylaxis. If so--why does everything anti-migraine either wake me up or shut me down? There's one cool thing about caffeine these days--does neither.

It's all craziness. I hope it works as a prophylactic. I'm sure you'd probably wear a condom on your head at this point, if it would stop the migraine madness.

This is pretty cool--the Paris Metro is renovating one of its stops, and they broke through a "fake" wall that covered up a section that had last been seen back in 1959. There's a few really neat advertising posters from that time period being revealed.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It's creepy familial subtext.

Not least because she doesn't look old enough to be the mother of a child old enough to read that ad. Much less buy an airline ticket.

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

What I find kind of cool about the ad is that she's got lines underneath her eyes, just like a real person. Amazing! No airbrushing!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oooh, Kathy, that is extremely cool! Those posters are amazing. Love the Marcel Marceau notice: La Compagnie des Mimes, Paris Qui Rit, Paris Qui Pleure

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Paris Qui Rit, Paris Qui Pleure

"Paris who laughs, Paris who cries"? Am I translating that correctly?

sumi, thanks for the Boomtown link. I've been wanting that series for a while.

Has anyone seen a Brit show called Jonathon Creek? It is also at Amazon and looks intriguing but I'm wary of the sight unseen purchase.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's very British, fairly typical mystery stuff. ASH is in the first episode. The real attraction is Alan Davies as Jonathan Creek, if you like your guys British, slightly pasty, and smart.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Beej, I've watched it a few times on BBC America and liked it.
