So healthy, Jesse.
There's a new British TV series coming called The Hour which is being sold as a British Mad Men.
Stars Ben Wishaw and Dominice West (of The Wire).
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I should have said "health food" -- I wasn't actually serious, what with the drenching in butter and covering in cheese.....

DavidS, did you see that the Beeb is doing a Jean Shrimpton Biopic?

WOot! I just had the second person in a week tell me that they didn't recognize me from behind! And the first one was the woman who sits kitty-corner from me and sees me every day.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am sans boss all week in the office. I already feel overwhelmed with not knowing what to do next. I have done some stuff, but do not want to have to call customers and schedule work. Stupid lady who cancelled this morning, she ruined my schedule for this week.

Cool! Though I pity the woman that has to portray one of the most beautiful women of the decade.
Sort of like when Jennifer Love Hewitt portrayed Audrey Hepburn, or Sherilyn Fenn did Elizabeth Taylor. You're just going to suffer by comparison.

Besides I think JLH looks like a gerbil. But I don't suppose that's the suffering you meant...but she's just another one of those actresses that makes me think "Who decided she was pretty? Nobody asked me."

Actually, Karen Gillan can probably pull it off:
(ETA: she's already been cast).

She's pretty, no doubt, but she's not Jean Shrimpton pretty.
"The Shrimp" is a legend even today amongst high fashion and model mavens for the perfection of her features. Photographers talk about her the same way cinematographers talked about Garbo - no bad angles.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
An interview with Dan Savage: [link]
I liked this bit:
Q: You and I had a fun radio debate a year ago about sex addiction. We disagreed on whether sex addiction is real (I think it is, you don’t), but we both agreed that we as a culture have way too much shame around sex. In one sentence, why are we so fucked up about sex?
A: Because Australia got the convicts, Canada got the French, and we got the Puritans.
