The Incident
"Dude, so omigod, yeah, I met the most un-frilly, bad attituded gay man today. I went to this really uppidy salon because my stylist changed her schedule without telling me--thebitch--and this guy was the only person with an opening, and I had to get my highlights touched up," Aubrey busily explained as she brought in the bottle of wine from the ( Read more... ) -

The Dark Knight, which I have FINALLY seen.
Yesterday I dragged my tired ass out of my post-work-nap and grabbed a big cup of coffee. I sat down, and received yet ANOTHER text from someone asking if I'd seen Dark Knight yet. Ideally, I was waiting til my birthday (next wednesday for those of you keeping track) to go see it, because there would be less people, and I can't really think of ( Read more... ) -
