Also, ick to the ick, Sue! I hate sore throats. Hope the doc patches you up right quick.
Also also, why did I invite kids over? I am notorious for how bad my New Years are, and not just ones I throw. All I have to do is attend for them to go pear shaped. (Worst one, and I think I've told this story before, was the one where the couple hosting found out one was cheating on the other at the party. Awkward. Err, found out at the party, not cheated at the party. Anyway, it was all very bad and we were the last to not disappear and then it was even more awkward and we couldn't leave and the two of us and our buddy rang the new year in sitting on the kitchen counter watching the ball drop on the tiny kitchen tv.)
But we are going to fondue for the kiddoes after all, so that'll at least be fun and take time and we can chillax after that. But they're coming at, like, four. They're going to be here for eight hours! Wish me social skills. Actually it's fine with kids. It's way better than if it were adults. Hee.
I'm pretty sure getting ice cream on my way to a sore-throat doctor's appointment one time was what led to them calling in interns to see the craziest white spots ever. I think maybe they were ice cream. But I did still have strep!
Ha! I already have to warn doctors that I have big tonsils before they look. Otherwise they think they are very swollen when they are just a little swollen.
This is why it would suck to be famous: Tracy Morgan Buys Lube At NY Sex Shop
He's the guy that said in interview that seeing Prince made him gay for a moment, and rhapsodises about how much he likes anal. If he wanted no one to know he was buying lube, he'd order it by mail.
10 Worst Dresses and no Gaga? Fail. That Leighton Meester atrocity gets my votes for worst. Glittery back lace leggings over shiny orange spandex under a poufy skirt? Blecch.
Ooh! We could teach them Hanafuda. It's been a while since we taught Native kids Japanese games. Between that and the Wii it'll be a Japanese gaming company night.

Oh, well in that case....
Some of those dresses were perfectly fine, if ill-fitting. Patricia Arquette's, for instance. Leighton Meester was an eyesore, as was Cate Blanchett. J-Lo was just outrageous. I don't think the dress was ugly at all.
I'm betting Lady Ga Ga's not on the list because either she could get the whole list to herself, or her precious performance art exempts her from consideration. SWINTON might also qualify.
Oh Jesus Christ, China sucks....
China: Mentally Ill People Murdered, Used To Blackmail Mine Owners
BEIJING — Police have arrested nine people in southwest China suspected of trafficking mentally ill people to be murdered in mines across the country in a bid to blackmail mine owners into paying compensation, a local official said Thursday.
Mine owners in China face intense pressure to keep deadly accidents under wraps, and have reportedly been found paying off journalists and relatives of dead miners in recent years to keep safety problems from coming to light.
...
In one case in Fujian province, Xinhua said a suspect surnamed Feng was charged along with two others with beating a mentally ill person to death in an iron mine, and then pushing the mine owners for compensation by claiming to be a relative of the victim.
...
China's mining industry is the world's deadliest, with most accidents blamed on poor safety as enterprises scramble to feed the country's insatiable demand for coal.
I voted J-Lo as the worst. When your neckline extends below your navel, there's something wrong. And Christina Aguilera suffered more from hair that looked like she'd stuck her finger in a light socket than from a bad dress.
And I agree with ita's second idea about Lady Gaga. She knows her fashion choices are off the deep end. Unlike, say, Sheryl Crow, who probably genuinely believed that sleeveless, slit skirt, and missing midriff belonged together.
