In continuing with my tradition of love of celeb gossip (embarassing, but shut up you know you have a dark secret too) and gays I was very interested to find that:
Clay Aiken is gay.
I mean it shouldn't be a surprise, but I don't believe that stuff till it's confirmed by various news sorces (and by new sources I mean Page Six and Jezebel).

Friend ProbationI created friend probation in the early 90's as a punishment for Paul who frequently was naughty (and not in the good way). So when he chose to be bad, I'd put him on friend probation. This would consist of a variety of ways that I could torture him (not talking to him the entire way back from Toronto while pouting, not cooking for him when he was hungry, making him snuggle, etc..) until he'd beg for forgiveness and I'd allow him back into my good graces.
The 90s ended and somewhere along the way Paul realized I wasn't actually the boss and he turned the tables on me. Now I'm on friend probation. Since Paul is the one person in the world who knows every dirty secret (and some of the are quite dirty) I now have to beg for his forgiveness to get back in his good graces.
Now I present to you my case as to why I shouldn't be on friend probation:
Let's end the madness. Seriously Paul, seriously..

Banana BreadLast night I decided to bake. I'd never made homemade banana bread before and decided to finally put the bananas in my freezer to good use.
I looked up a couple of recipes and didn't like any of them, so I took bits and pieces from each and improvised. I added bran, flax, and used whole wheat flour. Everything was organic. After 55 minutes in the oven I added honey and brown sugar.
Behold what i created:
I'm not gonna lie. I'm kinda a baking genius (only when it comes to banana bread). And yes it tastes as good as it looks. After eating a piece I packed the rest up and brought it into the office. So far I'm a pretty popular gal this morning..
Update: The bread was a smashing success!! It's all gone!

My new obsessionMad Men. The writing and character development is so amazing. And visually it's stunning. It helps that it also includes my one true love Manhattan.
Also included:
sex (often in the form of tawdry affairs)
alcohol (either straight up in highball glasses or charming cocktails that my grandparents drank)
smoking (it's gross, but I kinda love it after a drink or sex). So yeah it's awesome.
That being said it also includes my newest girl crush.
She's everything I want to be:

She looks like my friend at Roswell. A lot. Too much, in fact.

See not even you Mr. Jason can resist the lure of hot Joan (her name on the show).
It's on AMC (who knew?)but you can get season 1 through netflix and season 2 through itunes. Not sure about HD. I'm kinda a luddite when it comes to TVs.
Re: Scientology. I don't want to even know. It'll make me sad. My guess is either The lead male (Don Hamm or something) or his wife January/Betty..

Hmm. You know what, I'm warming up to Miss Redhead here. She is a pretty girl. She isn't a scientologist, but another cast member is! I'm not telling which one.
Oh, and what channel is the show on? Is it on in HD?

I totally understand not her not being your type- but I'm still totally in love with her.
However the seediness- YES!
I agree re: things being the same. I mean to a certain extend the sexism was more blantent then. It's more understated now- but it's still there. And for the record I'm all for it if it helps me get ahead aka sleeping my way to the top..

Hmm, interesting show. I really couldn't care less about the design aspect of it, or for the design aspect of much of anything else really. I also don't particularly care for this redhead you've posted for us, just not my type. She's probably a Scientologist anyway.
However, the dirty seediness of it sounds exciting. Booze, cigarettes and affairs? Count me in! I wish these meddling government pussies would let me smoke at the desk and mind their own beeswax. A guy's got to relieve some stress!
Interesting how the series creator apparently wrote about the "difference" between that time and now. Depending on who you ask, America is 110% the same. One similarity I do notice, a guy can easily get away with being a womanizer if he's got the right bank account and connections.

I've never seen the show before, but I did see her last night on the Emmys in an amazing emerald dress and thought "who IS that?".

Maybe it's time for AA?It's not yet noon and people in my office are making happy hour plans.
Of course I agreed to go. I figure now that I'm single and in my cougar years I should be on the prowl.

@lib: I so totally would, had I not been waiting for you. ;-)
when the news broke i was in a bar and got a free shot...that is my life. I just bought the People to read his story...two words...freak show
There is something creepy about him - but I think I like him better now that he's "out"
why don't you just marry him tiny? oh wait never mind, he's gay.
Okay, here's the thing. I still don't know what's creepy about this bloke. He seems to be one generous actor, devoting time and money to charities and UNICEF.
