Hypersquared - true. And didn't Sting also say that it was actually ABOUT a stalker?...

Elise - that is awful! You win, hands-down, so far. But I'm sure there are worse...no? I am stumped at the moment....

Walking After You by the Foo Fighters...

SOOOOO frustrating to have Twitter crash like that while covering the endorsement and trying to twit about it. (But, as you say, Twitter has been on the fritz lately anyway...) If ever there was a go...

echoboom - nice! we're picking it up this week as well and will be covering it as soon as we've finished. look forward to your thoughts on the book......

K, here's the thing, Ross A. Lincoln: if I were not already married, I would want to marry you. Seriously. I, like Fergie-ferg, nearly peed my pants reading this. Nearly...

Really? I had no idea. Not that I should be wandering back into Pinkberry land anytime soon...thanks for the rec, Mal!...

Carrie - It IS so beatiful. Every time I set foot on the UCLA campus, I kick myself for switching schools at the last minute. It is just...lovely. ...

These photos are incredible!...

The thing I like about Cefiore isn't really their yogurt (although I like it better than Pinkberry, especially the Acai) - it's that I can get mochi on top! Also, the Little Tokyo location has the nic...

jamesy - "democrat wine tasting every month"? Tell us MORE about this monthly event, I'd love to cover it for Wine Novice!!!...

Andy - You are SO right on about the print world vs. the online world. This kind of deceit would be called out in the online world well before someone wasted thousands (millions?) developing the book,...

So, so true and very funny. Thank you for the laugh after a long day....

Donna -- Doesn't "that guy" (and why is it nearly always a guy?) live in everyone's building? :-) I like the 1-800 # to report ball infractions. That's a great idea....

All one has to do is read Starbucked by Taylor Clark and you will never, ever, want to step foot in a Starbuck's again. Hipster or not. Yuppie or not. The kind of manipulation that goes into every de...

Really? I don't know that the food is completely mediocre...I'd say it's better than mediocre. Some dishes are very good (french toast), their lattes are divine, and their baked stuff (particularly t...

Ah! You are right. Sorry. We're still quite stunned by the Dutton's news... Consider it corrected....

Ack! I totally forgot about this too!!!! I was going to do a whole wine novice thing on a very yummy Barolo. Perhaps I must incur the corkage fee anyway to make the point... :-)...

Koga - GREAT photos, as always!...
