Several years ago, my brother J coined what has become an eminently useful phrase in my repertoire: spaghetti language. Spaghetti language is what you speak when you’re half-asleep and you think you’re having a real conversation but actually are spewing gibberish. (The phrase, naturally, was coined in spaghetti language: J was trying to have a [...]

Open thread!
What’s on your mind? Got any plans for this weekend? Have you seen Iron Man yet? (My opinion: fun, but Robert Downey Jr’s facial hair is tragic. Speaking of which: should Mr Machine attempt to grow a Mustache of the 19th Century?) Which is cuter: teensy bunny, or kitties in love?
Have at it, Shapelings! [...]

We’re having a bit of a slow day here at SP. Kate’s fending off reporters left and right, Fillyjonk is unavailable today, and I’m staring down the omg-why-is-my-university-on-the-quarter-system-anyway end-of-quarter blues. I’ve sat here for the last half hour trying to come up with a post full of trenchant, witty analysis of some fat-related thing, but [...]

Two of us are super swamped and one of us (Kate) is currently out of town, so you may not be seeing a lot of posts this week. In order that there be something to entertain you, however, I introduce this short piece of fluff.
A friend of mine had a theory that everyone is [...]

So what with our FAQ-building and our blogwars and all, I’ve been thinking about how this blog turned from an awesome blog to an awesome community. To that end, here’s your fluff question for today: How did you first find your way to Shapely Prose?
Personally, I knew Kate from Fatshionista and also knew [...]

Stolen from Feministe, this totally kills me:
I think I am finally old enough to admit that yes, sometimes, when I was a kid? I would provoke my sister M. until she beat the crap out of me, then go screaming to my mom about how SHE HIT ME!!!!!!, conveniently leaving out the part where I [...]

It’s not Friday yet, but after our heavy (har har) discussions about kids, lying, and underwear, I think all Shapelings should head over to Cute Overload’s Best of 2007 post. What’s your favorite? (I think this little guy should be in the running for SP mascot. Uh, not that we’re having a contest or anything.)

Al and I opened presents tonight, since we’re heading to Vegas tomorrow and didn’t want to lug them there.
He got me a Flip video camera. I got him Bacon Salt*. Hilarity ensued.
Yeah, you can expect more of this shit in the future. No need to thank me.
*Among other things.

Conversation reported by my sister J…
Dad [on phone with J]: So, what’s Kate’s blog about, now?

Okay, this isn’t really fluffy, but since it’s a non-fat-related meme, and we are in the midst of the Pre-holiday Cavalcade of Fluff, I’m categorizing it as such.
The lovely Harriet Brown said some very kind things about my writing and tagged me with a “Roar for Powerful Words.” What I love about this meme, other [...]
