Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That best dresses thing is an absurdly slow-loading slide show. Fuck that. The Atlantic had a ridiculous slide show yesterday with champagne cocktails -- not only was there a slide per drink, but the slide just named the drink and you had to click again to find out WTF was in it. I'm not your click fairy, magazine!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I like Tom Hanks. I think he paid his dues(Bosom Buddies) and is a genuinely hard worker. He doesn't always choose the best material (I HATED Castaway) but I love his work on Apollo 13 and That Thing You Do. I also think he did a great job in helping get From the Earth to the Moon made. Plus, he was on the board of The Nature Conservancy and did a great job doing some PSAs for them. He doesn't strike me as smug. I think he keeps a low profile for such a Hollywood bigshot.

The story where he stopped production on Angels & Demons to get the bride through Rome's traffic (backed up by the filming) and to the alter in time for her wedding charmed me to no end.

Plei, I think I've finally mastered the the manicure. The color is Otherwise Engaged.

Dear Husband, when I asked you to install the new thermostat I expected it to take the 15 minutes referred to on the box. I didn't realize you were going to spackle the wall and then wait 1-5 hours for it to dry before installing the thermostat and turning back on the heat. As night comes on, and the temperature drops.

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

Bjork's swan dress is one of the best dresses of the decade? I mean, I liked it, but it wasn't that good. Plus lots of people hated it, so a "worst dress list" sounds more plausable.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

For best and worst dress lists, you need to consider who is making them - general bloggy/entertainment types - then controversial will often be on worst; fashion rag/blog - controversial will often be on best. It is not about most beautiful or most wearable for fashion.

My shredding pile is starting to grow and I have several newly neatly labeled files. YAY!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Watching Spongebob w/o Tivo is painful. If I have to watch one more Tooth Fairy preview, I think my brain may try to strangle itself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ha ha ha. This is so my husband. There are no simple tasks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, Downstairs is cooking again. I need to heat up my dinner.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Law student Nick Kam has written a paper exploring a hypothetical legal scenario: from a set of conjoined twins, one commits a murder. Since justly punishing one requires unjustly punishing the other, would the guilty party escape punishment?

Mark Twain wrote "Puddinghead Wilson" based on the same French case the referred to. One of his third rate works (of which there were many) but has moments.
