My New Playhouse
Playhouse.png
You might not find this at all interesting, but I spent the week before Thanksgiving building a playhouse out of recycled and leftover building materials, single-handedly, with no plans or advice whatsoever. I’m just a little proud, so I posted the story and pics at Miss Cellania.

Not that that means anything. But if you feel like getting a head start, there are some good deals today. There's a Cyber Monday site, and Gizmodo has a list of ten great Cyber Monday deals

Bother Of The Bride

"Margot at the Wedding" **1/2 (out of four): Noah Baumbach's squirm-inducing, pleasingly catty film is likely to entice viewers – almost in spite of itself.

Nicole Kidman is no stranger to playing disturbed, conniving characters ("To Die For") and Noah Baumbach has a knack for writing/directing them ("The Squid and the Whale"). "Margot at the Wedding" brings these two talents together for this squirm-inducing yet pleasingly catty film, which is likely to entice viewers – almost in spite of itself.

Right to Bear Arms
gloomyarmbloody_lg1.jpg

Over at Neatorama, there's a post on this week's Supreme Court review of the 2nd amendment right to bear arms (the amendment's first review in 70 years). Specifically, the Court will decide whether the District of Columbia has the right to ban handguns. But in doing so, the main issue will be whether the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to own guns or the collective right of states to maintain militias.

I mention this because the dozens of comments after the post make for some very interesting reading. I learned a long time ago that next to Oprah fans, gun lovers are some of the most passionate people you'll ever meet, and they don't disappoint in this comments section. Particularly disturbing are the people describing the right to own weapons in case there's a need to rise up against the government...fun stuff. The anti-gun contingent has quite a few posts as well, which makes for some entertaining back and forth.

I also thought I'd ask the YesBut crew...are you for guns, or agin 'um. Usually, I think our crowd swings to the left of center, but with the firepower issue, all bets are off. Ever since I dated this fairly liberal, "Manhattan born and bred" woman who kept wanting to take me to the west side gun club to fire off a few rounds, I've learned this is a much broader phenomenon then I realized. So, where do you stand?

You really don't need an explanation for this. It's Japanese TV.
