So who has seen the latest Time cover? "Everybody's" talking about it. Everybody meaning people with nothing better to do than be on the internet, myself included.

I've been in a ranting mood today so shall we begin?

My 2 cents: I nursed two children, each about a year. I think it's great for starters. But at some point you, and likely your husband/ partner, will want your boobs back. They do have more one purpose. To say that breastfeeding is gross is stupid. But to say that you should breastfeed until your kid is standing up and asking for it is, I think, a bit gross.

I just read this article but don't know those people and don't care what they have to say. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!

1. I've never read Dickens. But I love all his made for TV movies!
2. I hated James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I skipped through large parts of it then wrote a b.s. essay on it and got a "C." Ha!
3. I don't like Shakespeare and would be perfectly happy to never read him again.
4. I read Gone With the Wind. That just seems like something you should confess.
5. I rarely read contemporary authors and feel bad about it but also overwhelmed by so many choices and not knowing where to start.
6. I feel the same guilt over not reading enough of the classics.
7. I hate modern poetry, up and down, frontways, sideways and slantways. Y'know stuff like "I walked/ Through the store/ The lights buzzed cold and blue/ I bought a tangerine/ It smelled like summer/ I wept

I was going to go on a 2 day (TWO DAYS!) leek soup diet just to jump start and lose a few pounds. Today is the first day and it's not even noon and I've given up. Boiled leeks with no seasoning= nasty crap. If I'm ever in a concentration camp, I'm in trouble.



Why eat that when there is perfectly good, normal food around me?

Hello, buttered English muffin.

There is something about Michelle Williams face that's been driving me crazy and I think I've finally figured it out. First, it's the super short pixie cut. It doesn't do her justice. Then she always smiles with her lips closed and slightly pursed, in this simpering aren't-I-precious sort of way. Don't get me wrong, I think she's great at playing pretend. But we need less of this:



and more of this:



Just my shallow thought for the day. Whose face BUGS you?

I almost got scammed this morning! I got a phone call from a woman claiming to be from my "water and electric service" who said she was a supervisor and that my last payment didn't go through because my check wasn't signed. Well after some cross-examining and a sneaky suspicious feeling, I finally ended the call without revealing any of my financial information (She actually said I had to make the payment over the phone or I would be charged $40!). I called the police and it turns out they've been getting a rash of these calls. Be careful, all!

Also, what's with the dumdums who leave complaints about scratched discs on Netflix? And YES I still watch DVD's- not streaming. And YES I still have a land line. Judge me and I'll judge you back.

And on a happy note, listen to this:



Share your near-scams, dumdum complaints and/or happy notes.

I have been lured several times into watching a chick flick which I had already deemed lame from watching a preview or simply judging from the cast (i.e. just about anything starring Kate Hudson) I don't know what part of me thinks that maybe once I just might find a fun, charming chick flick. Every 6 months or so, one comes along and I think, well maybe that will be good and it's inevitably not.

SO

My question is to you ladies- and possibly dudes- who have stumbled upon surprisingly good chick flicks. List 'em here.

Some I have enjoyed:

28 Days- a Sandra Bullock film that I could hardly call a chick flick as it deals with addiction but in that fun, Sandra way

Under The Tuscan Sun- decidedly a chick flick, but enjoyable. Maybe it's the Italian location?

Legally Blonde- you can judge me all day long but I thought it was pretty funny

Other great non-chick flicks that star women and men will likely avoid:

Me Without You- an independent English film with Michelle Williams and Anna Friel and Oliver Milburn (swoon)

Broken English- I have two words. Parker Posey.

Your name would be ___________

Mine would be MissKillaneous

In other news, I need to have a baby girl so I can make her wear this to the grocery store:



It's Friday! Hope yours is going swell.

Awwwwww yeeaaahhhh



I want that.

What turns your mouth on?

And what's his face? Did Chris get raptured?

All I wanted to do is quote this sexy lady:

I did not mean to be disrespectful & not capitolize the word Asian! Please don't wish the SARSes on me.

If you find it, then I will slap myself upside the head. If not then Here is the New Quote Blog.

I LOVE these type of old movie posters.



Please post some of your favorites so I can ogle at them.
