Hm, does Liz Hurley know red wine has loads of antiaging antioxidants that are very good for your heart and arteries? I think wodka (and other hard liquor) has far more bloating properties.
And frankly, I enjoy a glass of cab too much to care about a bit of bloat around the stomach area. Life is more fun this way. #lindsaylohandad
@BlondeGoddess: Well, the bloat may also be partly because a diet of six daily raisins, in which Liz has stated she indulges at least semi-frequently, can't be terribly alcohol-absorbent. #lindsaylohandad
@Ms Meghan: It is a highly uneven show, but there have been some amazing episodes. The later half of season one is full of dark and delightfully twisted moments, particularly the unaired "Epitaph One".
At its core, it is a show about free will, what we can do vs. what we should do, corporate greed, human exploitation, and other gray shades of morality. However, it comes off as "what male sexual fantasy is Eliza Dushku going to fulfill this week" which I don't blame you for not finding appealing.

@The_Fantastic_Miss_Fanshawe: Right, but the prostitution angle never sat well with me, and Whedon's reasoning of "I'm a feminist" sounds remarkably similar to "I have black friends." #lindsaylohandad
@Mrs. Stephen Fry: My friend wrote about the cancellation on facebook, and I pointed out that Firefly is the better canceled show. :-) #lindsaylohandad
@Ms Meghan: Wow, try watching the show before you make a dumb generalization without anything to back it up with. It was actually HIGHLY against prostitution. The show was uneven, I'll give you that, but that had nothing to do with it essentially being about human trafficking. It's easy to criticize the show for being a 'what can Dusku dress up as next' but that was hardly the case. The times we actually see her with men, its displayed as perverse, creepy and generally unsettling. The most recent episode that aired addressed a doll who was placed into the dollhouse against her will by a man trying to control her. It was sad, highly fucked up and anything but glamorized. #lindsaylohandad
1. I am a big fan of a lot of the work Joss Whedon does.
2. I find nothing appealing about watching something like Dollhouse, I don't watch Law and Order SVU for the same reason. I have issues watching the sexual exploitation of women, even if it's not real.
3. My post came off much stronger online than it did in my head, so I'm sorry. #lindsaylohandad
I love when cool people like Eva Green admit to suffering from crippling shyness. It makes me feel like less of a freak for my own social anxieties. #lindsaylohandad
Every day on my way to work, or as soon as I get to my office, I drink one cup of coffee.
I am not sure my boss would approve if I change my routine to a glass of fizzy water with vodka, but I'll ask. Maybe he'll be more lenient if I use orange juice since that is a breakfast drink. #lindsaylohandad
I'm with Jane Lynch. If one person's enjoyment of a film requires everyone around them to have their experience lessened or ruined, at least advise people ahead of time. #lindsaylohandad
@JennaW: Agreed. And if the movie theater was mostly empty, as it sounds like it was, there's no reason to sit right behind someone else. #lindsaylohandad
@HadwinBabazoid: Me too! Ever since seeing the not-aired-on-tv episode set in the future, I've been waiting for it to get cee-ray-zee. That and the recent actual development of Topher.
It's so sad. I love Joss Whedon so much. Seriously, ya'll. The last episode of Dollhouse was an awesome look at controlling crazy abusive rapist men. And it was really good. #lindsaylohandad
@laureltreedaphne: Sorry that was meant to go in the above thread. And I can't edit it for some reason.
But what I was going to say is--not if the blind person's group was there first, and Jane Lynch sits down afterward. Are they supposed to just get up and move around? #lindsaylohandad
@Cimorene: No, but you lean forward and say, "I just wanted to let you know ..." and then explain the reason for what would otherwise be unacceptable talking. Then *Jane* would have had the chance to move away. #lindsaylohandad
Did you guys catch The Onion headline this morning, about how Lou Dobbs is really an undocumented worker (illegal immigrant on their page) who was deported and that's why he quit? CLASSIC. #lindsaylohandad
@bluetrain84: "Acting on anonymous tips from within the Hispanic-American community, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Wednesday deported Luis Miguel Salvador Aguila Dominguez, who has been living illegally in the United States under the name Lou Dobbs for 48 years."
Lovely, isn't it? And I am itching to see what the Daily Show has to say about the Dobbs departure.
@A Small Turnip: Btw, I have always liked your user name and it makes me think of the small white turnips that you pull out of the ground in Super Mario World and then throw at people. #lindsaylohandad
@Sev: My crazy right-wing coworker just said "well, censorship is alive and well at CNN, they tried to censor Lou because he tried to speak from his heart about important topics like illegals, and he just couldn't bear to lie to please to lefties."
He is a real treat to listen to, and yes, he does speak in run-on sentences. #lindsaylohandad
@bluetrain84: @tailfeather: Ooooh, how nice of you to say that, Train! Tailfeather's on the money, as usual - it's a reference to Baldrick's favourite wee veggie. Turnips are just funny, aren't they? I'm not up to speed on my video games, but I think I'm going to have to find Super Mario World just to throw a few turnips at 'em. Sounds good for the soul.
Your name always reminds me (and I really do mean this in the best possible way) of my beloved Thomas the Tank Engine. Trains rule, especially nice ones like Thomas. #lindsaylohandad
@bluetrain84: Jesus Christ. I'm not sure whether I'd scream like a kettle at that, or just collapse in helpless laughter. What a tit.
I think the only way to remain sane in the face of such crazy is just to nod in solemn agreement with whatever he says, and then put a finger to your lips and whisper "But shhhhh! You know the CIA's bugging us, right? Be careful!". It passes the time, anyway. #lindsaylohandad
Can you imagine having your parents fight over you, publicly, in that manner when you're what, 23 years old?
They are really the worst stage parents of all time. They won't ever let her go. They'll let her basically destroy her career, and perhaps even herself, but they won't take themselves out of the picture, as long as they can get a bit of fame out of it.
Neither of them seem to realize that perhaps they're the reason Lindsay is such a mess. #lindsaylohandad
@hortense: Honestly? No, my brain can't even wrap around the concept. Which makes me incredibly grateful for both of my nice, normal, rational, loving, publicity-shy parents. #lindsaylohandad
Jane Lynch’s story reminds me of a time I found myself in a similar embarrassing situation with regard to blind people and their need for spoken commentaries for films. As part of my work, I was once at a House of Lords reception, where I came across a woman who provided Dvds with just such detailed commentaries to enable blind people to follow what was going on. I was very impressed that she had managed to persuade the film star Ewan McGregor to promote the service in her publicity material and even had a picture of him with his arms around her. After general chit-chat, we ended up talking about him in a very circuitous way. Not being very quick on the uptake that day, I failed to realise that she might be related to Ewan as her surname was also McGregor. "I’m his mother." She explained eventually. Thank-God I had only said nice things about her son! #lindsaylohandad
@Rare Affinity: My blind person/I'm an asshole story is pretty bad. I get off the bus and I'm waiting at the crosswalk waiting to cross when this guy in his 70s with glasses and a seeing eye cane comes up and where this street is. I go up to the curb and peer up and down the street and say "You know, I have no idea. I can't see anything. Sorry about that." The light turns green and I cross. It took me several blocks to realize what the hell happened back there. I was 16 years old at time and I still am mortified by my ridiculously selfish behavior. #lindsaylohandad
@echoparkgal: Having worked alongside blind and visually impaired people, the old man probably didn’t take offence. I often heard completely blind people use figures of speech containing the verb to see, as in "I can see what you’re driving at." Disabled people are often not as precious about language as the able bodied can sometimes be on their behalf. #lindsaylohandad
how do gene simons and adam lambert even know one another?
also, i think adam lambert should maybe sustain his career for another year or so before dissing anyone elses 'singing'.
in other news, so sad for liz hurley. what an existence. #lindsaylohandad
@rd2uk: I'm embarrassed to say that I know the answer to this. He performed on the American Idol finale with KISS. (hides head in shame) #lindsaylohandad
Maybe Whedon can now go make something decent. I love almost everything that man creates, and have watched any show that his actors show up in. But I couldn't get through Dollhouse. Dushku is okay in minor roles but that woman does not have the acting ability to play a range of characters. #lindsaylohandad
@Elaken: Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with you about Dushku. She's a good supporter and the Faith casting was great.. but sometimes- even on Buffy- I would cringe. #lindsaylohandad
I don’t drink wine and I rarely drink coffee so how on earth does Liz Hurley explain the humungous St Pauls cathedral shaped dome projecting from my stomach? #lindsaylohandad
@napalmnacey is an angry feminist:
In Peter Greenaway’s film "Belly of an architect", he draws continual analogies with the architect’s huge stomach and the dome of St Peters in Rome. If I had been born a few hundred years ago, Sir Christopher Wren might well have found inspiration for his masterpiece in the shape of my stomach too. #lindsaylohandad
@Rare Affinity: Honestly, fizzy waters, like Pellegrino, make me bloat WAY worse than wine. And coffee is a diuretic, for pete's sake. I don't get what she is saying, other than she's afraid of getting fat/old. #lindsaylohandad
@GirlFailer: I suppose if you have made your living and reputation as an adult solely from your photogenic looks as opposed to any other talents not dependent on personal beauty, it must be quite frightening when your looks inevitably lose their youthful bloom. That and the fact Liz Hurley has also been a bit of an airhead coming out with the most ridiculous quotes. #lindsaylohandad
@Rare Affinity: It was just an excuse to post a link from STFU Parents. I also have a Duomo shaped belly, perhaps we should consult the Vatican? #lindsaylohandad
