“What Does She Feel About it and What is She Thinking About What She Feels?”

So, I think many of you may have seen this already since it’s been going around the Internet for a while, but I just watched it for the first time and had to share for those of you like me that aren’t as up on the Harvard Sailing Team. Hilarious. This video kind of reminds me of “Coffee Talk,” and maybe some nights in my living room recently, but we don’t really need to go into that. On a side note, I would love to meet any of these guys while they’re not acting like women, because they’re adorable.

Below is the women’s response – Girls Will Be Boys. It has its moments, but isn’t as funny as its male counterpart. Also, not all women think they have to act like a cast member of the Jersey Shore when imitating a guy, just FYI.

The New York Times Loves Garrison, NY

Down by the train, Garrison, NY. James Estrin/The New York Times

“ROBERT A. MCCAFFREY, who has lived all of his 67 years in Garrison, across the Hudson River from the United States Military Academy at West Point, can recount stories of buyers who moved in, lured by the astonishing beauty of the area, and then within a year sold their homes and left for someplace closer to supermarkets and other suburban amenities.”

“‘This is really the country,’ said Mr. McCaffrey, a real estate agent in the neighboring village of Cold Spring, ‘and you have to be prepared for that.’”

I’m not really sure what’s so inconvenient about Garrison, but I guess if you’re moving up from New York City, not having a Duane Reade on every corner is considered roughing it. Garrison is truly a beautiful place to live, with great people and lovely scenery. If I had the money, I would definitely have a home there (I already have one picked out, so if someone wants to buy it for me, give me a call).

Even though the Times did get some of the facts wrong (Penny and John Seekircher have not lived in their home for 28 years, for example; trust me, I used to play with the chickens and goats at their last house), I think the slide-show tells the greatest story: that Garrison is a gem on the Hudson.

Dixie Carter: 1939-2010

If I had to make a list of the most influential television characters, Julia Sugarbaker would be right at the top. Growing up, my mom used to make me watch Designing Women for hours on end, and while at times uptight and strict, I always found Dixie Carter’s portrayal of Sugarbaker to be right on point (yes, even at five I could critique network television).

I learned a lot of lessons from her character: how to be strong but still be a lady, how to be classy and still have fun. And in honor of Dixie Carter and her wonderful talent, here’s a great clip that sums up Julia Sugarbaker to a tee.
