Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Happy birthday Matilda!
Isaac loved being 5 so much that there were tears the night before he was to turn 6. I had to promise him he could still be 5 for as long as he wanted. I think I told you folks this story before? Right before he fell asleep I asked him how old he was going to be in the morning. "Six."
I think I would like to be a Rock Hyrax (sumi's link).
Hyraxes are surprisingly nimble in the trees. They open the arboreal ep of David Attenborough's Life of Mammals.
Allyson, Anthony Bourdain gets about eleven million user reviews complaining about excessive profanity every time he puts a book out. Which I think is funny because:
a. It's always funny when it's not you.
2.Anthony Bourdain is on TV and the interpipes ALL THE TIME via his travel show(that has a parental disclaimer, btw,) and yet there is always some hoople from a flyover state who knows the name is famous but doesn't know why and takes it upon herself to sniff something like "His constant profanity and drug references speak to a real failure of imagination."
Um, it's Bourdain. It's what he does. Well, that and trash the Food Network. Like Ringo's drums, they loom large in his legend.
"His constant profanity and drug references speak to a real failure of imagination."
I think these are the same people who say, "sarcasm is the lowest form of humor."
I think pretty much every post on the NPR pop culture blog has at least one comment "taking NPR to task" for covering pop culture.
How ... kind of his agent to suggest that he consider being bi to "keep his options" open.
Can you imagine anyone saying that to a successful straight actor? And yet, if you're gay, I guess you're supposed to just be thankful to get roles?
People are so gross.
Who knew that Sean Maher was in the closet?
As opposed to (1) we already thought he was out, or (2) we thought he was straight?
I read the comment as (1)... and enjoyed it greatly.
I thought he was already out, because I feel like I knew he had kids with his partner. But I could be wrong, or maybe it we knew because he was in kat's yoga class (I think).
