It’s not a frequent topic of discussion, but doctors die, too. And they don’t die like the rest of us. What’s unusual about them is not how much treatment they get compared to most Americans, but how little. For all the time they spend fending off the deaths of others, they tend to be fairly serene when faced with death themselves. They know exactly what is going to happen, they know the choices, and they generally have access to any sort of medical care they could want. But they go gently.
Thought-provoking.
I thought, “Huh, good to know.”
And then I thought, “27 seems like a good time to start thinking about something like that.”
And then I realized, “OH MY FUCKING SHIT I AM 27. I DON’T WANT BABIES ANYTIME SOON. I DON’T WANT TO FREEZE MY EGGS?! I DON’T EVEN FEEL OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE EGGS.”
And then I changed the channel.
On what he does most of the time when he’s not occasionally reading about soul-destroying trivial political bullshit: “I’m 84 years old. I drive around, I bought a lot of additional land, beautiful land around the river. I just drive around watching all the deer and all the turkey.
President John Tyler’s Grandson is Still Alive and Has Delightful Political Opinions
Politics aside, this sounds like a treat at 84.
While speaking at the First Baptist Church in Naples, Florida on Wednesday, Santorum claimed that the Left uses universities to “indoctrinate” young people for the end purpose of maintaining power. “It’s no wonder President Obama wants every kid to go to college,” he said.
Rick Santorum Says The Left Uses Colleges For ‘Indoctrination’
You’re so right Santorum. Of all things you could criticize Obama for, he’s totally an ass for encouraging education. College is for pussies.
I don’t know how she does it, but Kara’s job requires her to be at her desk at ass crack of dawn. I would surely have been fired already. Somehow, she manages. As a result, I get phone calls from her desk while I’m still in bed. Today’s was exceptional. Something along the lines of:
Kara: Don’t worry I found it.
Me: Found what?
Kara: The music from Chloe’s solo.
Me: Oh, I was totally losing sleep, so thank God for that………
So if you watch Dance Moms (which you should), and you were particularly moved by Chloe’s 1st place lyrical solo (Maddie got 3rd! It was a moment), and you were just dying to find the music, don’t fret. Kara took care of it.

Ever wonder what real people look like when they get nominated for an Oscar? You know, people who aren’t sitting front row at a fashion show when they get a text from their agent?
This is my friend, Gigi, and her husband finding out they are nominated for an Academy Award.
Tears in my eyes.
If you’ve followed me long enough, you know I swear by The Body Shop.
They don’t test on animals. They do good stuff, like donating to end human trafficking. Their products are unreal.
Yes, I know you’re probably thinking, The Body Shop? As in, the bootleg Bath and Body Works of our childhood? The place that sold Hemp products which was oh so scandalous when we were 10? Yes, that one. But they are the bestest.
And although I hate most Living Social deals, this one is worth it. Try it out. 10 dollars for 20 dollars worth of products. Do it. (And not just because I want a free deal if three of you purchase it. I genuinely support the company, and I think you will like their products!)
Some of my faves:
Vitamin C Facial Cleansing Polish
Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream
Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream
I also use their body scrubs, body butter, shampoo and conditioner, and most of their make-up. LOVE their glosses.
There are only two places in the world where we can live happy: at home and in Paris.

A documentary about the greatest sushi chef in the world? A must!
Watch the trailer here.
Full Synopsis:
Synopsis: JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is the story of 85 year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3 star Michelin review, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro’s sushi bar. For most of his life, Jiro has been mastering the art of making sushi, but even at his age he sees himself still striving for perfection, working from sunrise to well beyond sunset to taste every piece of fish; meticulously train his employees; and carefully mold and finesse the impeccable presentation of each sushi creation. At the heart of this story is Jiro’s relationship with his eldest son Yoshikazu, the worthy heir to Jiro’s legacy, who is unable to live up to his full potential in his father’s shadow. The feature film debut of director David Gelb, JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is a thoughtful and elegant meditation on work, family, and the art of perfection, chronicling Jiro’s life as both an unparalleled success in the culinary world, and a loving yet complicated father.
God I am so out of the loop. Must go back home to NYC soon.
It happened today.
My old coworker at Wife Swap, Gigi Causey, is nominated for an Oscar. She (and her husband) made a short, live action film called Time Freak.
They financed it themselves. A lot of the Wife Swap crew pitched in. A true passion project from some dedicated artists. And now….Oscar!
So when the day comes, please fight the urge to fast forward or run to the bathroom during their category! They are awesome people who deserve to win!
Remember: Short Film (Live Action): Time Freak by Andrew Bowler and Gigi Causey!
