The Weekly for 10/20

» Obviously the most important news this week: Jeffery wins Project Runway! He wasn't my favorite at the beginning, but he was by the end. And if I could afford it now, I'd be bidding the hell out of the auction for his red polka-dot finale dress. Don't tell me I couldn't totally rock that dress. Because I could.

» Fashion Designers Introduce Less-Than-Zero Sizes. So I've finally figured out why I can't find clothes that fit me - the trend of "downsizing," or giving standard sizes lower numbers so women feel better about their sizes. Which results in naturally small women (like me) being pushed into the negative size range, and thus into seeming obscurity. While it's great the majority of women feel better about buying clothes, I, however, feel like a freak because I search months for one pair of jeans that sort of fits. I have had it suggested to me that I am in fact a freak, though, so maybe that accounts for it.

» Richard Dawkins on The Colbert Report. Give 'em hell, Dick. Except, of course, it doesn't exist. But I mean apart from that.

» Scarlett Johansson To Make Tom Waits Cover Album. No. No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, and no.

» Most mothers don't get enough sleep. Thank god someone put the time, money and effort into doing a scientific study on this. Instead of, oh, I don't know, simply asking any given mother on the face of the entire planet.

» Rock Band Name Origins. For those times when you absolutely have to know what KDFDM stands for. Or how the members of Aqua were inspired to name themselves.

In WebsiteNews: I fell behind on my post-publishing schedule this week (it was a terribly complicated and demanding one of a publishing a post a day), but I'm going to catch up this weekend. I actually have most of them written, just not published. I can always crank out a weekly list of snark, though, so there you are. Next week should see me on a regular post-a-day schedule. I also have finished all the pages of the site except for the portfolio pages, which I will also catch up on this weekend.

In JenNews: In case you hadn't heard, I now have a new cell number, contact me if I missed getting you the info. Work is going well and I am actively looking for apartments in the city. I have a viewing appointment this weekend that very likely could be the one. Oh, and I have awesome new boots. That's all you need to know.
