If you had a private jet for just one night, where would you go? Are we assuming one-way or round-trip? Cuz those are two entirely different answers... And would it have to be an immediate sort of thing or could I plan for it?... like, say, if ...

2008-09-08T06:49:29Z

OK, I lied - there's no sex (unless you count cute teenagers forced to marry too young to make the whole knocked up thing a "blessing") or videotape (because I'm lazy and not wanting to feel nauseous right now) - just lies. And some fairly easy-...

Mena dragged me to the Alameda antiques market today, and among the things I purchased is this sign, almost as tall as I am. I'm not sure where I'll hang it yet. International living room? International bedroom (zut alors!) International kitch...
