One more complaint, this time balanced by something I like

Something I Do Not Like:


I'm afraid I can't support this new trend toward so-called "skinny jeans." I'm not sure I could've pulled off (or pulled ON) those jeans back in my days of actually being skinny, but now? No. I'm still not fat, by any means, but I don't find these pants flattering even on the stick models. Heidi Klum wore some a couple of weeks ago on Project Runway and, as lovely as I find her in general, those jeans were fug.

There's a disturbing 80s revival of some sort going on. I've seen several young women wearing enormous low-slung belts over shirts lately. It still looks ridiculous.

Something I Like:

Invader Zim



I've always enjoyed cartoons, and the best Looney Tunes can still make me giggle like a child, but this new generation has some wickedly funny animated entertainment. I get a kick out of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, too, and my son is pulling me into Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, which has less edge but such a clever concept.
