I'm with Amy. It's not as budget as I'm going to assume a magazine with budget in the title is. However when they pick a "best for your money" it wasn't usually too much money.

And I like the negative space.

My main problem was that it was targeted towards women. Not sure why that was bothering me at the time.

Good god. I'm obsessing over every ad with food in it. And I should really get up and get my next nasty-assed "juice".

I miss the GQ of the 80s, when it was by gay men for gay men, and featured fashions, travel destinations, lifestyle tips, and models that represented what I would have liked my life to be like.

Anorexic scowling yuppies drinking Stolichnaya Elit who wear corset-tight sweater vests and no socks while being dry humped by strippers in velvet-roped after hours clubs will not be influencing me to buy anything except a different magazine.

It doesn't bother me (but I like to pick Glamour now and then), or Stephen, since he's the one who actually likes the recipes. And aside from the kind of anal tips (or useless filler articles) on spot-cleaning every fabric under the sun or whatever, I like their approach to the fashion stuff. Good basics, different price ranges, all that.

It's actually the only magazine I regularly pick up anymore.

For some reason them talking about the best lipstick bothers me. Not that I don't want to know...

I'm watching Real Genius and I'm bored. Am I doing it wrong?

French question!

I looked up "now" in my online English-French dictionary, but I can't tell which of the several words it lists is right for my scene. I need it in the sense of a signal or command. A group of men have been waiting to do something, and their leader says, "Now!" Only in French.

Possibly "Allez-y!" ?

It's been a while since I've used my French, but that's what jumped ot mind

There's no accounting for taste. Actually, I happen to have a fondness for it, but it's not something classically '80s, like Ghostbusters, where I'd be like, what is wrong with you for not liking it. It's a minor movie really. But that's the outside of the dorm I lived in freshman/sophmore year, and my department was where that statue was.

Susan, I'd use "maintenant!" or "immediatement!" but you should probably wait on megan.

I know people with whom I share movie taste like Real Genius, but I can't find anything to sink my teeth into. I'll probably watch it all the way through to be sure, but so far it's flippantly uninvolving.

I'm curious about how off the science is.

Hmm. Now I want a limboburger.

Physicists convert first known sound recording. 1860! Lamp black wave forms and they captured her voice.

::shiver::

Watching the National Geographic channel as I read, and they're animating hominids and I'm having a terrible uncanny valley time. The proportions! And the amble/shuffle instead of walking!

It boggles me to think of so many hominid species hanging out with each other.

Ack! They're doing it again!
