surrealestate=o= From the New York Times, ten years ago, a trans classical pianist with a 25-year successful career came out and found herself unable to get work. Watch the video, too.
=o= For the font geeks, an interesting and informative analysis of the fonts/typefaces used in Mad Men. Even *I* noticed the problematic church flyer, but that was fairly fleeting. :)
=o= One of the greatest players in baseball, Ichiro Suzuki is damn sexy and has quite a way with words, "Chicks who dig home runs aren't the ones who appeal to me. I think there's sexiness in infield hits because they require technique. I'd rather impress the chicks with my technique than with my brute strength.> Then, every now and then, just to show I can do that, too, I might flirt a little by hitting one out." He could certainly get to first base with *me*.
=o= Coinstar is doing a promo where if you redeem $40 for a gift card, you'll get another $10 gift card free. Even if you don't have change at home, it could be worth going to the bank to get a few rolls of quarters to take advantage of this.
=o= It's hard to imagine a more heated debate than the question of which shaker is for salt and which for pepper. But can anyone really argue with the words of the The International Guild of Professional Butlers (cited in the second comment)?
