(Sorry I always come late to this party and then post a zillion times, but I can't help myself.)
The Nightmare Before Christmas Break
I just read that _Vanity Fair_ article too, and it's all just too disturbing. I'm sometimes able to deal with the fact that some real monsters have made amazing things -- the Phil Spector "A Christmas Gift for You" album is surely the greatest holiday record of all time, maybe second only to the "Beach Boys' Christmas Album" (yes, I'm a white person). But goddamn! I think I might be done with watching Woody Allen movies forever.

Rape is like sex the way wearing a wearing a hood at Abu Ghraib is like putting a paper bag on your head. Can we just accept that this was a horror show? Mkay, thanks.
How is being raped daily not a physical harm?

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets anxiety/panic attacks while hungover. Why do we hurt our precious bodies this way, friends??! JK let's do it again this weekenddddd
11 PM in Paris -- Damnit, No, We're Supposed to Spring Forward!!
For Thanksgiving I went to visit a grad school friend and her family in Milwaukee, and we realized that we had seen all the previous Twilight movies together in the theater, semi-ironically, and drunk, and that we couldn't let this last opportunity pass us by. Except the only time we could see it was at 1 p.m., so we had her mom and sister drop us off and we smuggled in a bottle of red wine, which we drained in due course. Also, we are like, 30 years old! It was great!
