Re: “Did The Amityville Horror Really Happen?”
There's been a lot said about the Amityville situation. Some say it was a desperate attempt on the part of the Lutz's to get out from under. The difficulty with that view is why would they take on the extra debt of the house? Let's toss that one. Another problem is why hasn't the owner attempted lawsuit if it's all fabrication? He also could sell the house he currently resides in and live in the house on Ocean Ave, if he's not too afraid that is. No, I believe the haunting is true. There's an eerie feeling from just looking at it.
Re: “Game of Thrones: Maybe Jaime Lannister's Left-Handed?”
I wasn't sure if they were actually going to take off the hand or just make it useless since it's a hassle during filming. Good for staying true!
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will get to stretch his acting chops this season. Inbetween GoT shows, check out "Headhunters." (If you haven't already.) But get the original dutch with subtitles - someone else dubbed over Nikolaj was reallt off-putting.
Re: “Game of Thrones: Maybe Jaime Lannister's Left-Handed?”
I'm curious to know how you would have reacted in Catelyn's position to be able to criticize her like that.
You would have let Jaime die for nothing ? I'd say Cat did better than that at least there's a very little chance of getting her daughters back.
If you remember, Robb wasn't there and Kastark was about to kill Jaime in the night without Robb consent, he would have lost his bargaining chip anyway.
About Tyrion's capture : Cat never decided to have Tyrion prisonner, she reacted to the fact that he spotted her on her way back from King's Landing. If you remember, the need for secrecy in her journey was absolute, she couldn't risk the fact that the Lannisters learn of her secret meeting with Ned or they would start to be very very suspicious of the Starks, without the benefit of having Tyrion prisonner, potentially making Ned's situation in the capital a lot worse (Cat has no way to know that Tyrion isn't knee-deep in his sibling's plots, or that the fact that Littlefinger knew of her visit was as dangerous as being spotted by Tyrion).
On both these occasions, Cat reacted to prevent what she saw as a coming disaster, and even with our added knowledge (which Cat is far from having) we can't say if she was right or not.
Can you pretend to be certain that Kastark would have waited for Robb to get his revenge on Jaime when his sons died on the day of his failed escape?
Can you pretend to be certain that Tyrion wouldn't have told anyone in his family of his encounter with Cat halfway between KL and Winterfell?
It's easy to see that her actions resulted in negative results but can you really say with certainty that the alternative would have worked better?
For what it's worth, i'm not particularly a Catelyn's fan but her actions have caused a lot less pain for the Stark team than nearly any other Stark if you look at it critically.

Best posts yet. And pictures too! Tell it like it is, Lacy Warner.
Re: “8 Bands You Need to Hear: Best of the Rest”
I agree. Thanks for this list! ...Eraas is a gem. Saw them live. The singer is a busy guy. I think they could make a better three piece. Give him some slack. Nonetheless, I see a great future ahead for them.

I got a few photos of Icewater on that rooftop in the photo, e.g., http://www.flickr.com/photos/jessejessejessephotos/7196558566/in/set-72157629725565116

Don't forget about the time Stedman boxed against that NYPress guy, that was hilarious…
Re: “You Should Really Watch Deerhunter's Rad New Song from Fallon Last Night”
Woah, had seen this already but did not catch the walk to the elevator! I like him a lot. For trash-talking Morrissey for one but his music is great and he has the chops to back up whatever avatar he uses.
Re: “Many, Many Reasons This New Knife Song Is Just THE BEST”
I like! I only know The Knife from Heartbeat, which I loved, and I didn't get too into the album. She does a Kim Gordon-esque talk-singing here. If you like the steady minimal-techno beat you might also like "Diamond Girl" by Beatamines

Over-weight people aren't attractive and they should go on diets and stop over-eating and doing things that make then over-weight.

Time was when this could have been a spontaneous event that did not involve a financial transaction......
Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: Lacy's Guide to Brooklyn's Underground Sex Parties (Part 2)”
It might be mean, but it's generally true. I'm sure she just meant there weren't any morbidly obese people there. Curves are nice. I wouldn't want a party full of waifs.
Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: Lacy's Guide to Brooklyn's Underground Sex Parties (Part 2)”
"To my pleasant surprise, that wasn't the case. Plus, all the guests were incredibly attractive. I guess this is where sending in your headshot helps. There was not a single overweight person there."
Right. I guess it needs to be said again. It really isn't cool to say that overweight people are not attractive. Just makes you sound like an awfully narrow-minded person. And it's mean.

Re: “You Should Really Watch Deerhunter's Rad New Song from Fallon Last Night”
the only problem with "connie" is that he looks way too much like that faris dope from the horrors. maybe brad should invest in a new wig?
Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: Lacy's Guide to Brooklyn's Underground Sex Parties (Part 1)”
Personally, I can't wait for the next update. I so resonate with
"I'm so innately anti-authority, I have a hard time even following a recipe". And I totally agree with "For me, sex is best when it revolves around non-verbal social clues. I like the art and the mystery of reading body language. Someone touches my arm, someone looks me in the eye from across the room — do they want to fuck me? For me, the thrill of interpreting subtext is as powerful as the act of sex itself. The uncertainty of looks and whispers excites me as much as physical foreplay." Really well said. I have never been able to put my finger on why sex clubs often leave me cold - as I am a pretty uninhibited, sex-positive kind of gal- but I think you've given me great insight. I'm not interested in sex for sex sake - I want chemistry and intrigue and some personal connection. But very curious how the next play parties turn out!
Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: Lacy's Guide to Brooklyn's Underground Sex Parties (Part 1)”
it sounds like you are the wrong pussycat to be covering this gig. too shy, too full of fears. you have to be open to all senses, completely uninhibited, and if fear rules your heart, then willing to cast it by the way side and surrender all senses and your mind and body to pleasure. ecstasy comes, but only to those who leap into the unknown.
