Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

OK, documentaries with a lot of underwater shots should not use white subtitles. I may not have HD tv, but even with it, it can't be easy to read!

What is even happening?

Whereas, the whole vitamin water concept strikes me vaguely as the liquid version of "Just eat a frelling muffin, whitey!"

Yes. Yes it does. This is how it strikes me, exactly. I wonder if this is a New Englander response.

I'm so enchanted by this idea, that I'm afraid to read Salon and break the spell.

Um, can lower GI stuff manifest in back spasms? Cause there seems to be a time correlation between that and nearly barfing at work when my back inexplicably seized up (and slowly worked down, it was freaky) a la hormonal cramps.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This is a cool blog idea.

Ha! That's my co-editor Kim.

She does cool Crime Bus tours too.

eta: Oops. I lied. She did the first one like that - 1947.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Emily, I literally JUST got back from getting my hair cut and colored and I have the same response. I try to look only at my hair in the mirror and ignore my face, since it looks like a lump of dough. A lump of dough with a big nose.

It's amazing. Is there some sort of incompatibility between good-hair lighting and good-skin lighting?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

maybe salons put in unflattering lighting that makes your skin look bad so your hair will look that much better
