I hardly ever comment, but I was really happy to see (both in the report and mentioned here) the bit about female conductors, because it's an issue that's near and dear to me. In that I am a conductor, and a woman - and probably won't continue with it after college. But there's a big piece of me that desperately wishes I were more dedicated to the craft, because it's a glass ceiling that could use some serious smashing. To every single one of the (far too few) woman conductors/music directors out there - thank you for the work that you do.
Speaking of smashing, and by that I mean getting smashed - Rachel Maddow, thank you for validating my primary non-musical hobby.
ok, so we can ask if we have too many vampires shows/movies going on but can a studio exec PLEASE sit down and evaluate how many f'n medical shows we have to deal with?! if i see one more friggin show about a hospital or medical practice i will spit!
I really need to figure out a way to get my stockbroker hubby to wear the mad men suit without him knowing it's a mad men suit. He calls his tie a noose and would rather be a history professor or a saucier in New Orleans as is... how can I sneakily do this? ;)
Hey, Rachel and I have something in common! I took am ridiculously enamored with pre-Prohibition cocktails, and we both make them at home for ourselves!
Generally, though, I suspect she's better at it than I am.
his Saved By The Bell castmates smoked pot and hooked up.
Well, I HOPE SO. Come on, they were young, rich, successful, and hot. They damn well better have been banging each other and indulging in recreational drugs. It makes the Swan Lake episode so much better.
@IBleedGlitter: The High Priestess of Tinsel: And I love how MPG takes all of it in stride. He's such a class act, especially compared to Dustin Diamond.
It is a really good episode, Rich Sommer.
Also have you noticed but the blood has been increasing in these episodes. Don has been in the hospital these past 2 episodes. A sign of what it is to come?
@Ailatan: Well in the preview for this weeks episode Don (or some man) was lying face down on the floor. A lot of interpretation says the increase in blood foreshadows J.F.K.'s assassination.
That said, Rich Sommer does it for me. I mean, does it.
No secret why Nicole dropped out of hosting the Singapore GP -- her ex is one of the big time drivers, and it would probably be AWKward to run into him, and his dad, who's said to be behind the breakup.
That said, I wish Linds would figure out that NASCAR is not F1. Like at all.
I mean, um, yeah. Don't pay attention to me. I totally did not just turn into a Jalopnik poster.

@howdybeep (runs with monkey wrenches): I AM a sometime Jalop poster and the cultural differences between F1 and NASCAR couldn't be bigger. Nicole's sweetie makes $30 million a year and that doesn't include endorsements.
@howdybeep (runs with monkey wrenches): Danica Patric finally did - she just signed another 3-year contract to stay in F1, instead of hopping over to NASCAR trucks(?!?!?).
John Mayer, I'm not sure how to feel about you, but you could be a terrible lover and women would still sleep with you because you are a musician. In a lot of cases, a guy I'm iffy on can just strap on a guitar and I'm like "Take me now, please."
I hope you don't sing "Your Body is a Wonderland" to all your conquests, though.
I doubt the Khloe-Lamar thing will last through the NBA playoffs. I don't care if you "know" after a month. You give it a few more months, maybe a year or two, and make sure it's not just hormones and the desire to be on tabloid covers.
@bluebears: He's like that restaurant in L.A. - the Ivy, maybe - where all the stars go, because it's the place to go, regardless of if the food is good.
@lalaland13: I just don't get what the rush is. Even if you "know" he is the one, why wouldn't you want to give it more time? I don't get why you would want to rush the getting to know each other step of the relationship-- that's one of the best parts!
