Does this commercial encourage eating disorders?

Read the blurb under the headline and knew which commercial it was before I clicked; I saw it just yesterday (and not for the first time). It's rare that a Yahoo! article actually makes an impression on me. This one has me wondering because I thought the character's interior monologue was pretty ( Read more... )

And with this I again have to wonder if I'll ever get a chance to perform a karaoke version of Coin-Operated Boy. Why do I have to wonder this? I just do. It's what I do. I was in San Francisco on Friday, attending an alumni reunion of sorts, and met the Russian for dinner after, and after that "dragged" him to The Mint. (He did select a ( Read more... )

For the past couple of weeks, there was a Fiona Apple song I was forgetting. The memory of it kind of tickled at my brain. I would want to sing a Fiona Apple song, the standard ones would come to mind, and then I'd realize that a page was missing from the mental Rolodex.

After watching the video I can only reply, "Oh no... you're on your own."

I was impressed and inspired by the photos Edna posted of Ana in various poses.  Seeing her in live-action, though, I do not think I'll ever be able to achieve that level of ( Read more... )

This is just terribly cute, and heartwarming. (I do kind of wonder what his dad thought when he first heard about it.) So I guess he'll say the Pledge of Allegiance right around the time Brad and Angie decide to get married.
