For a millisecond I thought that Eleanor Roosevelt quote meant it was from Eleanor Roosevelt's Twitter. And then I remembered that ER passed more than forty years ago. But she would have had the awesomest Twitter that ever awesomed.
"Fala won't stop barking. Told Franklin to send him off to the Pacific Front."
"Churchill drunk again. And possibly fondling my husband."
"Found a great way to piss off Franklin: wore a 'Teddy is better' teddy to bed."
'Hobbits refer to me as "Giant Eleanor." Bugger off, midgets.'
I love you so much I think my love has become sentient. It's watching you while you sleep, just like an Edward Cullen wall-stick. I'm totally challenging BHB to an internet duel for your honor.
I have never skied before, so take this with a grain of salt, but skiing while listening to your iPod sounds kind of dangerous. You are going down a steep incline at a high speed with potentially a lot of obstacles. Isn't that a bad time to be singing, dancing, and just generally lost in your shuffle? I mean people die skiing-- even really good ones.
Of course people die crossing the street too, so what do I know?
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Oh man, this annoys me SO MUCH. I've been skiing since I was three and snowboarding since I was nineteen, so I like to think I've spent a fair amount of time on the slopes. I cannot STAND the people who listen to their ipods while on the slope. Generally such people are also prone to risk taking and only a small number are truly skilled, so you're mixing the inability to hear with traveling at out-of-control speeds and taking jumps they can't really handle. I see it as kind of like driving around with headphones on - yeah, 99% of the time there won't be someone coming at you with their horn blaring, but why take the chance? Especially since you're making that choice to put others at risk as well.
@Atomic Bowling: I ski (though not down slopes but rather up hills and across lakes which I doubt Paris is talking about here) and have my earbuds in all the time and always hear someone coming up behind me. And I'm SLOW so they are always coming up behind me. Some people can pay attention and not everyone has the whatever (for me I'll admit it isn't music but podcasts and books) up so loud they can't hear the soft snow crunch behind.
It has nothing to do with skill, it is all about attentiveness.
@loudlyquiet: I don't ski, but I do snow shoe, which is similar, at least in principle, to cross country skiing (which sounds like what you are talking about here). I see no problems with listening to an iPod while cross country skiing. What I think could be a problem is downhill skiing. You are traveling at fast speeds down a steep incline and I think that requires all of your attention, as you could easily lose control-- and if Paris is describing it as a "club in the snow" I doubt she is paying enough attention.
The fart almost helps ease the disappointment in JM's vomitous sexyface mag cover. (Whoa, whoa, I said ALMOST, Mayer. Not all the way. Gonna take you a long time and a lot of tweets to make that go away. You can't just wipe that out with one announced fart.)
Unrelated: I wish Ann Curry would stop trying to edify (twedify?) us via the Book of Quotations that everyone's parents have in the guest bathroom.
@Penny: Honestly, she just seems like a pretty cool person. And I've never seen her in anything, except magazine shots and Snap Judgments of her with her pretty Darth Vader fiance. But I like her nonetheless.
@Penny: Plus, I confess her new column in InStyle is pretty low-key and not at all "look at me, I'm a glamorous celeb who will give you advice only to be used by people who live in the bubble of fame!"

I hate John Mayer with a fiery passion, and love Stephen Colbert with a directly contrasting fiery passion. Oh noe.
