Because she really is a super-cool progressive, see, so she’ll make the most beloved character in a generation of literature retroactively gay and hope nobody notices that if she’d actually said so in the books, she wouldn’t have sold nearly as many.

Oh well. The fact that she didn’t say so in the books means I can just pretend it didn’t happen. If I can do it with three whole Star Wars films I can certainly do it with the after-market remarks of the richest woman in the world.

What are you wearing?

A cutout of a giant baseball sewn out of your mom’s living-room curtains circa 1985, looks like. Jennifer Connelly, where did you go wrong?

Hellooooo, Vancouver!

Can those of you who live there please tell me what the cost of living is like compared to the rest of Metro Portland? What kind of house or condo or rental or apartment would $37K per year get you? How much more than that would a family of three need to bring in to live comfortably?

A friend of mine from the Midwest wants to know. Any info appreciated!

Thanks.
