  • Kristine RonssdottirAll day I’ve been following this Ask MetaFilter thread about whether most women change or keep their names upon getting married. My own contribution is in there, but just in case any of you didn’t get the memo, I kept my name. We toyed with the idea of combining our names into some SuperSurname,…

    Ebert finally panned a Jennifer Lopez movie! And there was much rejoicing.

  • Wow. What an Amazing Race. (Look away, Andrew!) Finale reaction to follow.As I said over in the comments at TMFT, it was a pretty satisfying conclusion to the season. Hooray for Uchenna and Joyce! Yet even amidst our celebrations, the Snook and I were like, “CBS TOTALLY HELD THAT PLANE.” There’s just no way. I…

  • Stitch and Bitch Scandal! According to this MetaFilter post, the Chicago SnB (love that Purl logo!) was served with legal papers from Sew Fast/Sew Easy claiming that they have a registered trademark over the phrase “Stitch and Bitch.” What? The SnBers are predictably up in arms. There’s no way they could defend such a general…

  • The Urge to Purge

    DietBlog: Despite the noises coming from my house last night, no, I have not moved into the “Phase 2 – Bulimia Yay!” segment of the Weight Watchers plan. Instead I was merely suffering through one of the nastiest cases of food poisoning I’ve ever encountered. It had been a good evening up to that point:…

  • Kevin’s got links to several high-res images from the upcoming Goblet of Fire movie. It looks great! I didn’t picture the maze as being that freakin’ enormous though. Fleur and Viktor look good, and Cedric (who I always sorta pictured like my brother Antny) is fine, I guess. I’m also gonna go on the record…

  • One friggin’ AM.

    In an orgy of nerdery and self-flagellation, the Snook and I purchased our Revenge of the Sith tickets today… for the 1am show. ONE IN THE MORNING. (The midnight were sold out.) I honestly don’t know why I did it. I guess it’s because I saw the previous two at the midnight showings, and I…

  • Amazing London

    Awww, man, how great was that last episode of The Amazing Race? It was like the Kris and Rodd Tribute episode. Baker Street? That’s where my first flat was. (Sorry to disappoint the Sherlockians, but 221b doesn’t actually exist.) London Eye? Been there, done that. Hammersmith? That’s where we lived and worked for two years.…

  • Australian iTMS?

    DAMN IT. Apparently the long-awaited Australian iTunes Music Store was going to launch last Thursday… but one music company ruined everything. We’re guessing it was Sony. Bastards! I can’t wait til this is up and running. I still haven’t used all the gift certificate my Mom got me for the US store. I wonder what…
