oops…little freudian slip there?

No, I’m pretty sure R-Money is just his rapper name.

Perfect.

Me: I could really use a glass of wine.
Tony: I was just thinking the same thing.
Me: I feel that way pretty much every night. Do you think that makes us alcoholics?
Tony: Alcoholics drink as soon as they get up in the morning. We drink as soon as the baby goes to sleep. I think that just makes us parents of a toddler.

…In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court considered the case of Richard Perry Loving, who was white, and his wife, Mildred Loving, of African American and Native American descent.

The case changed history - and was captured on film by LIFE photographer Grey Villet, whose black-and-white photographs are now set to go on display at the International Center of Photography.

In 2007, 32 years after her husband died, Mrs Loving - who herself passed away the following year - released a statement in support of same-sex marriage. She said: ‘Not a day goes by that I don’t think of Richard and our love, our right to marry, and how much it meant to me to have that freedom to marry the person precious to me, even if others thought he was the “wrong kind of person” for me to marry. I believe all Americans, no matter their race, no matter their sex, no matter their sexual orientation, should have that same freedom to marry.’

If that happens, they might as well re-inaugurate the president on the spot.

Congratulations to all of you for being accepted to Hogwarts. These are going to be the best days of your lifes. Honestly. The best. It does not get better.

Am I the only nerd who saw this skit and said, “But Hogwart’s is protected by a special charm! No one can apparate or disapparate on the premises!”

I am not proud.

I can totally hear him saying this.

Pimp: You from outta town?
20-year-old Tony, walking back to his hotel in Boston where he stayed while covering an event for our college newspaper: Yeah.
Pimp: You lookin' for a good time? I got girls.
Tony: No, thanks. I have to get up early tomorrow.

Tony today, when I teased him about this: I was trying to be nice to the guy, okay? I didn't want to be rude!

Toddlerhood, in three Acts

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:45:55 -0500

Act I: Child kicks, bites, and screams uncontrollably while refusing to be comforted for over 20 minutes all because mother had the audacity to prevent him from injuring himself.

Act II: Child is suddenly distracted by toy, toddles off and begins playing happily as if tantrum never happened.

Act III: Less than five minutes later, child crawls into mother’s lap, rests head on shoulder, and sweetly gives her a hug.

I’m not going to survive the next two years.

Hot Tricks for Handling Chile Peppers

It’s always a good idea to protect your fingers (and whatever they’ll touch later) when preparing fresh chiles, and the general advice is to wear latex or plastic gloves. However, if you find yourself gloveless, turn a zipper-lock bag inside out to create one on the spot. (It’s helpful to secure the bag with a rubber band around your wrist.) The bag can then be turned right-side out to store leftover chiles.
