choose your adventure

soooo...i'm gonna be a bridesmaid and the bride asked me to choose from the following dress styles. what do you all think? i have my own preferences, but i thought to solicit some feedback. yeah, i realize this is a bit of a deviation from our usual content. c'mon, at least admit you're mildly entertained! maybe not you, anonymous alex.

lydia

lyndsey

janey

daisy

camilla

sophia

speaking of clothes, i almost tried to enter this contest. thought it might be kind of amusing, y'know? i soon realized that even my love of wordplay wasn't enough to overcome the sheer vapidity of this enterprise. i did come up with some copy for the mary janes, though: "they're not just for school girls anymore. an old classic style is updated with new flourishes...just in time for your prettiest spring dresses."

test of time?

i don't know how to create links or anything fancy, so someone is going to have to teach me one of these days. over dinner last night, a couple of friends and i talked about movies that have "stood the test of time." clueless was the first nominee (so you can tell this was a serious discussion). then my friend tried to suggest that reality bites qualified as well. we couldn't agree on that, but we all agreed that winona ryder, janeane garofalo and ethan hawke were all "so 90s." and we all expressed our disbelief that out of everyone in that movie, ben stiller has had the most prolific career.

also, what happened to steve zahn?
