As most of you know, one of the reasons I&#8217;ve been largely absent from the blog recently is that I was planning my wedding reception &#8212; for 6 months after the actual wedding. In another state. WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING BOOK TOUR. Boy, am I ever not going to repeat that mistake [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3270&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Via Jezebel, which has a sharp post on female confessional journalism: Christa D&#8217;Souza writes about her breast implant saga in the Daily Fail. D&#8217;Souza clearly had a terrible time, and her article highlights the ways in which the reality of implants differs from the promise of implants. The short version is: she&#8217;s dissatisfied with her [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3260&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

First off: Remember this one??  For those that don&#8217;t want to click through and read it all again: that was the one where I snarked at a guy who, based on his understanding of Catholic theology, opposed marriage equality by (among other things) comparing homosexuality to obesity.  His basis for the comparison was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3253&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Does anyone remember the episode of Family Ties where Elise and Stephen Keaton go out of town and leave Alex in charge?  And he turns the place into a cozy little B&#38;B called Keaton Manor, and rents out rooms?
Yeah, so the other SP bloggers are living it up in Minneapolis this weekend, leaving me [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3245&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Whatever your thoughts on Michael Jackson, his fame, his music, and his troubled life, I think we can all agree that the songs from Thriller were pretty much the best thing to ever happen to music videos.
What I can&#8217;t help but think right now is that Jackson&#8217;s strange life demonstrates that it is possible to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3242&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The local commuter paper ran an interview today with John Currin, a painter who deals in explicitly physical and sometimes pornographic images of women. (The first picture on the linked slideshow, actually, is NSFW.) I find his work interesting, if sometimes (deliberately) disturbing; I wouldn&#8217;t exactly count him among my favorite painters but I have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3238&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Shapeling RedSonja has a question that we think you all can answer better than we can. Let&#8217;s play collective Aunt Fattie!
Here&#8217;s the situation:

Apparently she felt both fat and ostracized in high school (I say felt, because he [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3239&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

When I was in school I always used to get in trouble for talking or passing notes with my friends instead of doing my work. Little did I know it would prefigure my blogging habits.
