Birthday Sluts

Holy hotness. What a gift for a hungover Saturday morning. Found this over at dlisted and had to share. MK knows how to brighten any girl/gay's day.

Holidays

Am feeling dread about the holidays. My job has started sucking and one of my payments for freelance work just bounced. Not the kind of stress I need.

Still Stitching and Bitching

I am working away on four different scarves for my sibling's family. At the moment, they are living down south, but soon they will be returning to the frosty north. I thought it would be fun--for the kids at least--to knit up a little reminder of what's to come. I've been trawling the yarn shops for the best colours and textures. There is one amazing place near me. I have relied on Michael's for a few other things. Not very exciting, but they do have some good cotton and merino yarns.

Brightest Star in the Sky

Marian Keyes truly is a god among women. Her latest book, The Brightest Star in the Sky, has me curled up in bed and devouring every page. She writes such lovely busy crazy sentences. There are a number of intertwined stories. Each character is hugely likable, although each is different in their own way. I love the risk she's taken by adopting a slightly magical element to the narrative.

Update: I finished reading this last night. The last few chapters had me in floods of tears, but in the best possible way.

This is why the olds should stop having sex

I came across this story in one of my favourite blogs. Michael K. has named the hapless lovers from Cornell b-school as the hot sluts of the day. Their exchange, which can be read in full here, is totally cringe worthy. I will never be able to look at a blue thong without thinking of seasoning sauce. And that is not a good thing.

BTW epic fail for the tech guy. Hitting BCC all is a rookie mistake. Clearly, he was sending these missives to his personal email account as a souvenir or spank material for afters. Or maybe he just wanted to get caught? Hugely embarassing for both and their families, but if you're going to play you better be ready to pay.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl

What better way to spend a sleepy Sunday than catching up with a favourite series? Although I saw a few episodes when it first came out, I missed most of television's take on the 'Belle du Jour' blog turned novel. I adore Billie Piper. Wouldn't have guessed that, but she is completely winsome. Not so much a tart with a heart but rather a consummate professional. I have been taking notes. The actors are lovely and refreshingly un-botoxed. Must confess they do look a full decade older than their US counterparts. And it was refreshing to see an imperfect teeth bleaching jobs. It looks like the actress who plays Bambi can only afford to get the front four done. I spotted a very yellow-ish eye tooth on an episode from Season 2.
