) But man I wish I could still wear broomstick skirts and palazzo pants. Those were the bomb.

I've seen broomstick skirts in stores (not a lot, but there) and there are definitely a lot of them for sale on the web. I only have one, but I saw a lovely maxi burgundy one a month or so ago in the nearby mall, but it was definitely overpriced. But you've reminded me I was going to check the web for a similar one.

I'm actually trying to clean up my closet--there are some clothes in there that just look rough. Faded or worn, and I gotta let them go.

My current background TV is Pariah, with a girl trying to be a teenaged butch lesbian, and a mother that's desperate for her to act and dress cute and take interest in things "normal" girls like. It's incredibly depressing. My mother was definitely all about trying to nudge me to be more femme, because I had extensive stretches of neutral clothing--I think my sister was a better outlet for her.

Whereas now she keeps trying to nudge my sister to revel in clothing more, and as long as I don't outright dress masculine at family events she's good the rest of my multiple identity wardrobe.

But, damn, we're over 40! How can this still be a thing for her?

Why is is that I just heard that Cherry Jones and Zachary Quinto are in Glass Menagerie here?? And the cheap tickets are all gone.

I'm not getting why male homosexual = vagina squeamish, but more important to me is the "openly" bit, for a guy who positions himself as a voice of reason about sex and sexuality, I'm not sure why +50% of the population would go to him for any, if he's going to be publicly negative about their sex organs.

Dan Savage is the voice of reason about sex and sexuality for gay men like him. He ranges from mild cluelessness to outright bitchery about anyone else. I appreciate some of the things he's done, but I also have too many friends who've had to put up with him being a bitchy, mean-spirited ass.

(See also: why I will never be comfortable with people holding up Courtney Love as a Feminist Rock Icon.)

Really minor Scandal comment: there is NO WAY the President goes running down a hallway without a secret service person behind him. I realize that's the least of it.

Skimming seems to indicate that "like him" is also important. But the column I was reading he's being solicited for advice by women too, and I guess I just don't know how he got to the position he's in to be giving advice to women, straight or not, then.

God, this movie is depressing. One of those verite efforts where no one who's nice is happy or vice versa. I am totally in support of teen abstinence, now. Makes perfect sense. Sure, it's impossible, but that doesn't mean it's not a good idea. You should just be handed all the masturbation material you need and then sexually walled off from anyone you're attracted to until hormones are no longer surprising you.

Selena Gomez is adorable in The Wizards of Waverly Place, but I'm only measuring against other Nick and Disney shows, so that may not mean much. She's not going to look old enough to be in grownup movies for another ten years, though, if you ask me.

Unfortunatly, the 90's were full of floral dresses and rompers for me.

For a while, my dream look was Julia Roberts in Sleeping With the Enemy. After she moved to Iowa, though.

Jesse,

the episode furthers "Scandal" as an entry into the area of Science Fiction. Without mentioning specifics for those who don't want to be spoiled, there is a character who sustained a severe head injury. 10 months after such head injury would not even be close to the amount of time the person could fully recover - even if that were possible.

I keep waiting for the episode that will feature robot overlords or zombies.

Tell me you are not still watching that Selena Gomez movie.

So I am having Arduino problems and the Arduino web page is down.

C'mon, it's Saturday night! Don't they know a lot of us geeks are sitting at home programming our lasers?

Well, that, sure. But that just seems like regular tv stuff.
