"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I thought I saw that! Maybe Canary wanted a reduced role?

AMC had to reduce his salary because soaps really aren't doing well at the moment, so Canary said he no longer wanted to do two roles.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ahhhh. Stuart was the nice twin, right? I can see how they'd kill him off rather than Adam.

Yup, he was the nice one.

Wasn't there a serial killer murdering people he found on CL?

That was in Boston/Providence! Good times. As Kristen pointed out though, he only (allegedly) killed the one lady. So not quite at serial stage.

This is so cool--Staffordshire hoard found in July. It has three times the amount of gold found at Sutton Hoo, and includes dozens of pommel caps and sword hilt collars, more than have ever been found at one site.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Why am I tired? (I often ask that question...)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

New study: women more likely to choose shoes that are bad for their feet. Men more likely to choose more comfortable shoes. [link]

“I think women need to really pay attention to how a shoe fits, and realize that what you’re buying could have potential effects on your feet for the rest of your life,” said the paper’s lead author, Alyssa B. Dufour, a doctoral student in biostatistics at Boston University. “It’s important to pay attention to size and width, and not just buy it because it’s cute.”

Or, y'know, it could be because most comfortable supportive shoes are considered inappropriate for women to wear in many workplaces?

Apprehended like a common terrorist Saturday evening, September 26, as he came to receive a prize for his entire body of work, Roman Polanski now sleeps in prison.

He risks extradition to the United States for an episode that happened years ago and whose principal plaintiff repeatedly and emphatically declares she has put it behind her and abandoned any wish for legal proceedings.

Seventy-six years old, a survivor of Nazism and of Stalinist persecutions in Poland, Roman Polanski risks spending the rest of his life in jail for deeds which would be beyond the statute-of-limitations in Europe.

We ask the Swiss courts to free him immediately and not to turn this ingenious filmmaker into a martyr of a politico-legal imbroglio that is unworthy of two democracies like Switzerland and the United States. Good sense, as well as honor, require it.

"Apprehended like a common terrorist"? Nice use of "common" there. Because clearly, famous artistes shouldn't be subject to the same laws as the common people.

"an episode that happened years ago" -- actually, also for his continuing crime of being a fugitive.

His history -- tragic, and irrelevant. Possibly relevant in psych evaluations or sentencing, not relevant in whether he should face punishment at all.

"martyr" and "honor" -- I have no comment other than rage.
