shit or get off the pot, lady!

Big thanks to Kingman for sending along this gem. Highlights:

She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by
her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a
hard time imagining it myself."

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

"And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said.
"According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something
wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it
took him two years to call.

Open Questions:

1. where did the boyfriend go to the bathroom?

2. did she ever shower? get cramps in her legs?

3. when will the law and order episode be airing?

4. who will the special guest star be?

10,000 b.c. was a bad movie

seriously. i don't know why i thought it would be awesome. it was just so bad. check out the nyt review for clarification. other than that (and some major transportation issues yesterday), albany was fantastic-- one of the top weekends of 2008. i don't think i stopped laughing from the moment i got off the train on friday straight through to my departure on sunday. i had been feeling off balance and unsure of myself lately, and this weekend really put it all in perspective for me. perhaps more on that later, but for now a few brilliant photo highlights.





where is this photo taken? maybe in the home of an elderly relative? no-no, friends: look closely. see the paper towel dispenser and trash can?



this is, in fact, the ladies room of a restaurant and bar. heavenly!



for the first time in my life, i don't have the rosiest cheeks in the picture. this will never happen again.

friday!

off the albany for the weekend to reminisce about the chinga-years.

have a great weekend, everyone!

in case you missed it here is the opening of last nights daily show (go to 3:40 or so to see bushie dance!)

an entry to make tom happy

I just stumbled upon this article. Really? Sure, she has some science to back up her scare tactics, but the media suggesting to smart, ambitious ladies that they would just be better off jumping on the mommy track is nothing new.
Thank you, Penelope, for giving us this month's alarmist warning to women. Judging from your blog I should learn from the "mistakes" of you and all your friends or I will end up barren and shit out luck in the baby department. I will get on the preggos thing post haste. Any volunteers for the role of baby-daddy?

In other news, Hillary gave the media the middle finger and is making the primary race last until at least April 22nd. Woohoo. Personally, I am much happier to be a member of a party that can't decide between two qualified, articulate and history-making candidates than a party that is looking is struggling to just "fall in line" behind an aging ragaholic. That being said, I do fear the primary getting u-g-l-y in an super way.

Today in summary--
Yay: spring came for a hot minute; i discovered how much i love V8; the new Vanity Fair was waiting for me at home; Project Runway finale in half an hour!
Boo: rainy morning commute
