Which leads me to believe that the "awards" are rec tourney trophies. No way I pay a mil to fuck him.

Doesn't it seem like a lot of the people who mail in those postcards are making shit up to seem all artsy and cool? Not the ones with boring secrets like "Sometimes I feel ugly," but the more outrageous ones.

Today's WaPo runs an article covering the tearing down of old crap from the walls of TGIFriday's and Ruby Tuesday's establishments across the country, raiding flea markets, and nailing said crap back up onto the walls.

Welcome to faux nostalgia and soul-crushing forced joviality, version 2.0.

Very well? This looks like I'm gonna get harpooned by a fake marlin dangling over my booth, bitch.

Paging me? Why the fuck would I care in even the remotest and most abstract way about anything that ever happens in a T.G.I. Friday's?

Cosmopolitans? I have not been to that many spin classes. In fact, I don't think there are that many spin classes.

I spent about an hour and a half wandering through a bookstore last night looking for Christmas presents. $156 later, I left (and surprisingly, only bought two things for myself). I suspect I would have ended up spending a lot more had I seen or heard this NPR story on notable books of 2005.

I saw the Nancy Drew book last night and nearly bought it for someone, but I ended up getting Eve: A Biography for her instead.

Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is (a graphic novel based off of notes confiscated in high school classes) looks awesome, and I can think of at least three people who would love it.

Atlas Maior of 1665 looks like it is actually worth the $200 price tag.

(Oh, and for books bought, I got A History of the World in 6 Glasses (2 copies), Spice: The History of a Temptation, The Elements of Style Illustrated, Garner's Modern American Usage, Far Side Mating Rituals Desk Calendar, and a couple of Sudoku books.)

I always forget, perhaps because I couldn't really care less, but which is the Papist brand and which is for the Proddies?
