The AfterEllen list makes me happy.
Mmmmm, me too.
It is possible that Queen Latifah is bi, is it not? Either way, I think she's awesome. She's never played Ma Rainey, has she? She should.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I cheerfully surfed that afterellen list and stole pics for my site. I seem to have ascended to an uncharitable place where I can roll my eyes at the Cushbert/Alba/etc inclusions and mutter "But don't we know better???"
This is the same charitable place from which I sneer at that (car?) ad that doesn't try and tell me that smarts are hot, but rather try and tell me smarts have always been hot. The friend I was with said "They're only hot on men" to which I replied "Most woman would rather a rich guy to a smart one."
I'm not sure who that ita is.
But that ad really irritated me, because they touch on sports and mention smarts are hot there. And show a coach. An unathletic, balding, besuited coach.
Get the fuck over yourselves.
I'll happily agree that to top your sport smarts are a good thing--Federer, Woods, Jordan, etc--all rocking some brains there. And there are probably athletes who are only pro because of their brains--because they can use their smarts to give them an edge over other less bright but similarly physically gifted competitors. The middle ranks? Filled with people whose brains don't matter. Why pretend otherwise?

Rumor has it...
Federer actually answers his fan mail! There was another thing about him, but it was all about how Federer is this really kind and charitable human.

Federer impresses me, not least of all because he used to have a fearsome temper problem, and is now remarkably even.
I just got called to find out why I'm not on a conference call. Because I wasn't invited to one right now? Is weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, if I wear flip-flops to the airport, will I still have to take them off?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've had it work both ways, Jesse. Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no.

I think one should always assume yes.
Random Batman facts (I haven't checked submissions in FOREVER):
Batman COULD be President of the United States. It's just that he refuses to live in a white house.
Strip poker is the only thing Batman is not good at, by sheer force of will of everyone in the universe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bah. Stupid shoebombers. I guess I'm ending up barefoot in the airport no matter what, so I'll give it a shot.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Mmmmm, me too.
Me three.
It also makes me wonder who the same readers would put on the list of 100 sexiest men, if they are into that sort of thing.
It's got to be better than People's.

As teh resident "travels too much": yes, these days they generally even make you take off flip flops.
