On The Architect, The "It” Girl And The Toy Pistol That Wasn't
This story is cool, and Nesbit looks to me like a cross between Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly.

On Pay Or Burn
@riggssm I do feel sympathy toward these people, but really, they knew the risks and took a gamble that didn't pay off for them. It's sad, but probably a really valuable lesson for them to have learned.

On The Bad Deal: Check Before You Buy an "Online Deal"!
@birah r. I used Scoutmob the other day in NYC to get half off at a pub near the theater I was going to. I don't understand how the companies benefit from this, but if they're will to give me half off, I'd be crazy to question this in any greater detail.

On Teeth Grown In Lab
This is awesome. I feel like my original teeth have about 20 years left, anyway, so if they're predicting that this will be in humans in 10 years, another 10 years for this to trickle down to my level of brokeness sounds about right.

On What Kind Of ‘I Don’t Own A TV’ People Do You Have In Your Life?
@LondonLee I veg by reading. Every now and then I read something literary or in the nonfiction family, but mostly it's mass market fiction for me. I find that much more engaging than most tv programs, although I do watch the tv or Netflix when I'm knitting/crocheting and need some sound in the room.

On The Bad Deal: Check Before You Buy an "Online Deal"!
The good things about Groupon are that 1) You have 24 hours to change your mind about a purchase and get your money back and 2) if you don't do 1 and end up in any way dissatisfied with your purchase, they give you back your money with no hassle. I had a pretty disappointing experience at a local company that I was willing to take a chance on expressly because of the Groupon discount, and they treated me like Julia Roberts at that first dress shop in Pretty Woman. Talk about taking your librarian fetishes too seriously. Anyway, that happened on a Friday, I wrote Groupon on a Saturday, and the refund process was completed by Tuesday. That's service.
But there's discount on earth that makes it worth to try to have brunch in Midtwon. Shudder.

On White House Finally Bows To Astrologer's Demands!
@Flaneur The II is supposed to be for a child who is named after a relative who is not one of that child's parents. Such as a person who is named after an aunt or an uncle. The II is to show that the person being honored is not a parent. It's not interchangeable with Jr., although people who don't know any better (or possibly just don't care, but really I think it's the first) do sometimes use the II to be grand.

On 27 TV Shows They Killed Too Early, In Order of Heartbreak
@El Matardillo Yes to VM. I only liked the alternate, post-Doll episodes of Dollhouse, but maybe it's because I found Eliza Dushku mostly one-note.

On Get Sun While You Can
I've been rocking skirts and dresses for the last couple of days, and am sad that the (mostly) lovely weather that NYC has been having will soon end. The fact that winter's snow and now spring's rain have outstayed their welcomes lead me to believe that this summer is going to suck more than usual, which is pretty frightening.

On The Awesome Album Milla Jovovich Made When She Was 16
@hethyrworld Which is a shame, because Toad is awesome. Yes, is. Was, is, forever.
