This is by far the highlight of my day: a dramatic reading of a comment regarding a Silver Palate recipe.
(My mother has both (or two? are there more than two?) of the Silver Palate cookbooks; we only used them when we wanted to really impress someone, but still: happy memories. The only thing in her collection I want more is the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook my...

My rage-o-meter reading is officially on imminent meltdown:
Well, there is a lot of fat to cut from our public schools, especially those in our biggest urban areas like Houston and Dallas. I am concerned that some the highly diverse Magnet public schools in this city are becoming hotbeds for liberalism. Do we really need...

From CNN:
“Turns out Texas was the state that depended the most on those very stimulus funds to plug nearly 97% of its shortfall for fiscal 2010, according to the National Conference of State...

The Social Network & My Generation an open letter to my friend Peter Travers Peter, Hey man! So, I finally watched The Social Network the other night, and today I read your review of it, curious about your claim that this film defines my generation. First let me say, I agree that the movie is impeccable, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I have nothing but praise and...

Fresh Feminism: Transgender Is An Adjective
feyboy:
Trust me on this. Transgender is an adjective. Transgender is not a noun.
You cannot make transgender a verb by adding ‘ing’. Transgendering is not a real word.
You cannot say that somebody ‘transgendered’….

“The internet has posited us all in a world where people feel that they deserve access to the personal lives of those in the entertainment industry, and it is something that I disagree with wholeheartedly. You make music because you want to make music, not because you want to share everything about yourself with your fans. If you reach a point where you feel comfortable coming out...

Me: 'I'm not gonna lie, the new RPattz film actually looks pretty good.'
Sister: 'I haven't heard of it.'
Me: 'It's called Water for Elephants. It's something to do with a circus, & he falls in love with Reese Witherspoon's character, who's in the circus and married to the ringmaster or something. I don't know really, but omg, RPattz is HOT.'
Sister: 'If you think he's hot in that, you should see this one movie called Twilight.'

‘This dearth of scholarly inquiry should gnaw at international relations scholars and policymakers alike. Classical authors were clearly aware of threats posed by the living dead, as… Ezekiel [37:5-8] suggests. In The Art of War, Sun Tzu stressed the importance of fighting on “death ground”, clearly anticipating the imminent threat posed by the undead. In his History...

Every now and again I fantasize about moving there. I’ve never even been there, but I’ve always had this thing about it…
I want to live near the city, not actually right in the city, somewhere watery and naturey nearby.

Today was the first time my Issues of Race & Gender in the Law class met, and my professor asked a few of us directly to identify ourselves generally, with the characteristics we thought gave us privilege or took it away.
And after I got through the very obvious ones about me: white, cis-gendered, able-bodied, female; and after I got through the ones most people know about me on passing...

Favorite song(s)/moment(s)? Aren't Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley delicious?! They're married in real life, also. Which is awesome. I almost wish they were on the touring cast (mostly him, for his voice, because duh). Did you stage door? Also, the openly weeping part is, I think, totally normal (ha, puns!). It was when we were there, anyway.

My friend Colin and I had a Facebook relay and he sent me this link, Marian McPartland’s 1992 interview with Rosemary Clooney. Every minute is pure bliss, as things usually are when Marian McPartland is involved.
Oh, this is stupendous.
