Your Hollywood life is so glamorous, Kat!!
Erin, HA! I live the most unglamorous life filled with pre-schoolers and bodily fluids.
We truly live in amazing times.
This I agree with 100%!
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

One of the SF city supervisors was interviewed on the Daily Show this week (about the banning of toys in Happy Meals), and the word I hear is that he didn't know the point was to make him look ridiculous. Because he doesn't watch the show, I guess?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I watched that segment, Suela. I lost it when Aasif Mandvi was talking to the mayor. All I could think was, "Man, this guy is HOT." And then Aasif looked at him and said, "You're a very attractive man."
I couldn't stop laughing.

Seriously, Gavin Newsome is enough for me to consider moving to San Francisco.

I am told by people who work for him that he's ridiculously attractive in person, rather more so than on film. This, despite the hair. But he clearly bleaches his teeth.
Apparently Newsom couldn't help laughing every time Mandvi said that, and they had to reshoot the bit several times. Which, hey, at least he's got a sense of humor.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anyone ever used insulated curtains? Do they work? I've got a huge picture window in my living room with really old single-pane windows, and it's freezing. I looked into the shrink-plastic stuff, but a lot of the reviews say the adhesive doesn't work, and my frames are old wood that I wouldn't really trust a not-great adhesive to stick to.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I don`t think the former group knows what they`re in for and I don`t think the latter group will tell them because they`re just happy to have community involvement. I need a hot cocoa now.
I just barked with laughter.
amyth, that sucks!
I have never seen anyone remotely famous in my yoga classes, not that I've been to one in the last six months.

I don't know if you were looking at a particular brand but that has not been my experience. Usually it's impossible to get off when you take the shrinkwrap off.
I haven't used specifically insulated curtains, but in my old place, the kitchen was an addition built on a slab that was A LOT colder than the rest of the house, and the entgry was doorless. I hung a heavy blanket (thick fabric and lining) as a curtain and it kept the cold in the kitchen. The only drawnback is that they need to be kept closed all the time to work, so if you rely on that window for light, I'd go with shrinkwrap.
