Erika, on writing a bio, in GWW:
I guess I could have put in that Hec thinks I'm as twisted and funny as a monkey in a crackhouse, cause really? That's as close as I've come to a review so far.ETA: I suppose all I can say is that I feel your pain...the bio statement makes me conscious of all the ways my real life isn't cool, and yet? I sort of resent those writers who go Full Metal Asshole on the subject and write that they were raised by haiku-writing wolves, because maybe I just want to pay you a compliment, dickweed. Not really have a meditation on how artificial the biographical statement is, and "Don't you hate these things?"(And yet, I do. But sometimes I think our generation will die of irony poisoning.)

in Bitches (something about this just cracks me up to no end):
My grandmother's will said that, if she died before her husband, then her husband would inherit almost everything, but her jewelry and china would go directly to her daughters. She was convinced that her husband was going to marry a 19-year-old shiksa who would take the jewelry and china. Since then, most of the other women in the family have put the 19-year-old-shiksa-clause into their wills. My mom was working on her will and asked my sister if she wanted the china, and my sister said no, it's not really her style. Then she asked me, and I said the same thing. So she sighed and said, "I guess the 19-year-old shiksa can have the china after all."

So if I want to start a "Book Tropes" website for APSE [Awkward Pang of Simmering Dissatisfaction] and other things, do I need to stage a pseudo-cide here first?
ita speaks the truth in Natter:
Porn is something to be pulled, not pushed, in my universe.
In Natter:
ita:
Why do I want to get boudoir pictures taken? There's a very appealing relevant Groupon today.
tommyrot:
Because it's 87% off!
billytea:
That's how you can tell that they're boudoir pictures.

Angela Lansbury looks great as always. I think she's figured out how to do the Dorian Gray thing, except instead of a portrait it's Mel Gibson that's aging for her.
Steph L.:
Y'all, I e-mailed with Jilli, and there's no reason she can't have alcohol on a *very* occasional basis. The drug that told her she shouldn't have alcohol with it *does* lose its effectiveness when the patient is a chronic alcohol drinker. But one drink, very once in a while, won't do anything other than make her loopy.
So I hope she's having that absinthe now, or on her way to having it.
Dana:
That is possibly the most Buffista piece of advice ever given.
