RB: Julia, Jan 26 - 4:53am



















The “Internet Politics” panel - with Randi in the center as the only woman (not to mention the only panelist under the age of 35!)

RB: Julia, Jan 26 - 4:50am




















With Elisabeth Furtwängler at the politics panel this morning!

RB: Julia, Jan 26, 1:46am

We're so tired, we're delusional.

  • Meghan: Let's find out what time it is and then take a powernap until 8:15.
  • Me: Yes, please.
  • Meghan [calls reception]: What time is it?
  • Reception: 8.
  • Meghan: 8 ... AM??
  • Reception: Yes.
  • Meghan: Oh god.
  • Me: There goes our power nap.

Oh, Mary.

UPDATE: We've been fooled! That was actually from one of our industrious little commenters:

"Mary Rambin" said...

This is too funny not to mention: I posted on the QotD as "Mary Rambin" and posted the following five things as her "bucket list" items:

1) Get married in the next 3 years
2) Start a family
3) Relaunch my handbag line
4) Move to New Canaan
5) Write a weekly fashion critique column for the New York Times

Except I purposely misspelled "relaunch" as "relonch" and it's still up there, but the misspelled word has been corrected. Their "intern" thinks these bucket list items are really from Mary! IDIOTS.

I guess we're the idiot, too.

Today's QOD is so very deep: If you had to create a Bucket List (a list of things to do before you die), what would be in the top 5 spots?

The Trio of Banality's very own Handmaiden of Passive Aggression posts her response:

1) Get married in the next 3 years
2) Start a family
3) Relaunch my handbag line
4) Move to New Canaan
5) Write a weekly fashion critique column for the New York Times

Oh, Mary. Poor, sweet, reality-challenged Mary. Number five is so laughable, it's actually quite depressing that you have such little self-awareness. Where do we begin? Well, first, you know nothing about style. We hate to say it, but you dress hideously. Actually, we don't hate to say it. I mean, you generally look really bad, and you have pretty awful taste. (And: Your handbags are hideous.) For serious, honey. Also, you can't write, have absolute disdain for taking pride in your work and don't really even know how to follow current events. I think the Gray Lady would take exception to some of these things.

But good luck with the others. Three years, eh?
