Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To comine everyone: my laptop is in my bed, and I have no SO.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Today I was planning on being all productive and getting a lot of cleaning done, but instead have been huddling under blankets because it's chilly and turning on the heater set off a smoke alarm. So at some point I will have to clean the floor vent, I guess.

Tomorrow I get to go on a tour of Martinez's Historic Homes and then hit the Waterfront Fest in the new 'hood. Maybe do some stuff at the new house, we'll see what kind of time and motivation i have going.

Sunday's got football, Sunday visitation, and watching my mom tapdance in part of the Follies Brassiere.

Stressy dinner tonight, no other plans.

ita and I have the same elevator. Which is kind of freaky, considering we get off several floors and thousands of miles apart.

So what are people doing this weekend?

I have friends coming into town from NY for the weekend. They are taking me out to (Hubert Keller's) Fleur de Lys for my birthday. I have very good friends.

64% of Americans spend more time with their PCs than their significant others¹

I read this as more time ON their PC and was like "Well, sure, even the brand-new stages of a relationship, I don't spend that much time ON my gf!"). Um.

48% would rather help a friend move than help a friend with a computer problem

Moving is usually a one-time thing. Computer problems go on forever. Also, moving is less likely to put you in the position of thinking "Do you have the IQ of a gnat? Have you been living in a cave since '95?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

French 'Vogue': Devil Worship Is The New Black!

When we saw the September issue of French Vogue on stands, we knew it was going to be good. Good as in completely and ridiculously over the top. Seriously. Check out the ensemble on the cover. Even the logo is animal print. Anna Wintour has never known that kind of wild (heh) abandon. And then, inside, we found the "Sacrément Inspirée" fashion shoot photographed by Terry Richardson and "realized" by editor in chief Carine Roitfeld. The theme? Voodoo/wicca/satanism! After the jump, a few of the images. Find out what to wear... if you're the guest of honor at a Salem witch trial.
