Against my will....i have gotten sucked into the Real Housewives. I actually find Gretchen kind of touching...like she's been caught unawares by her own possible humanity.

I loved the book. Though as a man....i thought a lot of it was rather self-evident.

In some versions of the commercials, there are actually two black women featured.

But they essentially just do some variation of the "Ooooh, girl [read: white girl] -- He done dumped your ass. You better go eat some ice cream." Minstrel show much?

I kinda want to see it because a) i LOVE bradley cooper b) i love Bradley Cooper with his shirt off & c) Leonardo Nam is in it...he plays one of the aforementioned gay/ethnic team (the other one is Wilson Cruz, non?)

The commercials crack me up though. "My little sister says MySpace is the new boooo-ty call." MySpace? Really? What is your sister 52?

I found the best CD. It comes with the book "The Mindful Way Through Depression"

Really anything by John Kabat Zinn. My therapist(s) recommended him to me. He also has a longer series which are truly excellent:

He has a great approach, which is that you don't have to "quiet" your mind, you just have to be aware of its propensity to jump all over the place.

When I was about 20, my friend Daria told me over lunch in the cafeteria: "You remind me of Mr Darcy." I was, of course, deeply flattered.

But then in my early, late 30's (about 2 years ago), I confessed to my shrink: "There comes a moment when you realize you're more Mr. Collins [he of the proposal to Lizzy] than Mr Darcy."

Also, totally off topic, but if you've never seen this, watch it! Arguably Tim Burton's greatest film:
