What Prince William is doing for his bachelor party. (This link won't actually tell you, because Gawker doesn't have a fucking clue, but it will make some good British snark.)
Some blogger at Huff Post caused my husband no end of bitching and yelling this week. She said that New Yorkers don't eat bacon and eggs anymore, because they are too worried about their diets. Steve says that BS. The essential breakfast of REAL New Yorkers is "bacon, egg and cheese on a roll two times." (See, look how I slipped in a bacon reference again.)
We really do need to talk about iCarly next week.
Scandal! Natalie Portman didn't really do the dancing in Black Swan, which I discovered on the plane flight back from Florida is a REALLY BAD FLIGHT movie. Check out this video about the special effects in the movie.

Steve’s right. We eat bacon and eggs twice weekly.

Why??? Isn’t it enough that it’s on in my house constantly? Or is that the point?

Also, you should be able to get in another bacon reference thanks to Sam.

Why do we have to talk about iCarly? Is it a lead in to the odd influence of video games on children’s tastes in theatrical productions? (IMHO, video games are winning.) I’ve only seen the show in doctor’s waiting rooms, but my children swear every bit of dialogue’s just as leaden, and woodenly delivered.
Different generations have different standards. We tried to watch Bringing Up Baby with the children last week. We had to stop halfway, as the kids loathed Susan Vance. “She’s terrible!”

I tried to watch Family Ties with my daughter the other day and was shocked with how dated the episode was, culturally. It was the episode in which an older family friend gropes the elder daughter, and the reactions are muted to a point I can’t imagine being acceptable on television these days (Alex first advises that Mallory must have been mistaken, and Mallory is convinced, then the plan is to have a heart to heart to figure out how Mallory must have mislead the adult).
Of course, the show might have actually been part of the change in attitude. But it made it difficult to watch, since my daughter saw the treatment as wrong as she would have seen racist attitudes of an earlier age.

I liked the one where Tom Hanks played the secretly alcoholic uncle. Before that, drinking vanilla extract for the alcohol hadn’t occured to me. After that, I knew that if you can drink a bottle of vanilla extract, you are either an alcoholic or the world’s greatest lover of vanilla.
