    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    Aw, thanks, Lolly, I'm taking a look now. I swear I have not been much of a baby at all generally, I really DO love it here, I just am adjusting. We're also getting ready to move (we bought a place, woo!) and i think sometimes just being kinda overwhelmed just makes me want really random...

    Johnny Depp in talks to Play The Thin Man

    It's too bad Brittany Murphy is dead.

    For the Gentleman / Ladies of slighter stature.

    I have been lectured on "taking tall men from the tall girls who really need them" - I had been unaware of the wartime rationing! :D

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    I am homesick today. I want a roast beef on challah sandwich. With massive doses of kosher dill pickle. Also, the ketchup here is too sweet and I don't know why.

    For the Gentleman / Ladies of slighter stature.

    I am five feet not a single inch more... people tend to greet me with things like "you're so small" no, really? I hadn't noticed. Women about five-two or five-three tend to be particularly gleeful about it. Joy of not being the shortest in the room, I think. Skirts are forgiving, to a...

    Johnny Depp in talks to Play The Thin Man

    I am guardedly optimistic - Depp COULD play Nick, it all depends on who they cast for Nora and how they write her. I also am guilty of dream-casting Nick and Nora with Raul Julia (yes, Gomez, but bear with me...) and Angelina Jolie, years ago. Now of course Julia is passed on, and Jolie...

    Article: Why do People Hate Hipsters

    Oh no! Am...am I a hipster? I don't see how anyone here could deride the second category without some sort of lightning-protection. Especially if you use it to mean "any eccentric or outside the mainstream" behavior/lifestyle - who here isn't that? I mean, you got Lizzie, for crissakes. I...

    The season is on....

    Funny thing - my husband grew up with a (regular) Irish Setter. He described the one he had as "a dog-shaped marshmallow made out of love."

    The season is on....

    *hugs* to you and yours, Skeet, especially the dogs. Big dogs are a fleeting blessing... but one of the best things in the world. I never had a gun dog but I admire them from afar. Is Dan an Irish Red and White Setter? I've heard they're wonderful. I've never seen one in real life.

    Berlin museum breaks Nazi taboo with Hitler exhibition

    To be fair to Germany, that's not really their fault especially. It's better to be cautious than not. The last Holocaust Museum shooting was in the U.S. and I know many synagogues in my hometown that had either ongoing problems with vandalism or annual bomb-threats. There are annual police...

    Golden Age Furniture

    For me, the thing to get things to look like they match is to be mindful of colour and style. If you have a colour scheme in place, disparate things look good together. If you have a style you love, Art Deco, Scandanavian Modern, whatever, the pieces relate comfortably. Most styles also...

    Article: Why do People Hate Hipsters

    I don't like hipsters for a less noble reason than Lizzie; I was a working class kid and the hipsters I know made me jealous as a kid and make me irritable now. They are too good for "your rat race" and "to buy into it all" - because their daddies did. They want to take time to backpack...

    Darker Vintage looks

    Have you checked out Dita's looks? Not as a direct thing to carbon-copy but some of it is fairly helpful for the rich, dark, burlesque-accented look. I hear you on not being able to wear pastels - doesn't suit me at any time. Well, maybe gray? Sometimes? But usually pastels are terrible on...

    Is "yanks" an offensive title

    I'm an American who this July emigrated to Australia... I think I've been called a Yank most weeks since. You know what, it's never bugged me. At all. It doesn't bug me when people ask if I'm Canadian, either. (I don't have a Southern or Noo Yawk accent so I must not be American to some...

    The mask: Jim Carrey

    I prefer Dick Tracy to The Mask in the primary-colored-suit-showdown but I wish Ember all the luck with a fun idea like this, and she's nicer to her man about sewing than I am to mine. lol

    Weight loss options

    Today I had: breakfast a whole wheat mini tortilla with a can of sardines (341 calories) lunch greek yogurt (unsweetened) natural honey (200 calories) snack 1 apple (80 calories) No dinner yet, but I'm so confused: does the apple count as a carb? Did I basically high-carb all...

    Weight loss options

    Not to off-track the real hardcore diet talk but would someone mind posting a day's mealplan for the paleo/caveman diet? I'm visualizing breakfast: eggs lunch: salad dinner: steak but is that right? I've fallen into a rut of cooking and its not all terribly brilliant things. How creative can...

    Ethnographic Views on The Working Classes

    I think the closest for "cowboy" australia has is "drovers" but that might be closer to ranch-hand. And don't forget the sheep to cow ratio. I don't know, I'm a city girl.

    The Finest Compliments You've Ever Received

    "I don't know how common you think girls like you are. But they are not. Don't argue. I've looked for them harder than you have." - my husband.

    Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?

    Heels and skirts make me feel cute...and it probably gives an aesthetic advantage when compared with velour trackpants. But really I think its just the feeling cute. And maybe the girlishness of red lipstick and a sundress encourages a certain subset of the male population to flirt a bit...
