1. Noosflash: Wallace's new love interest (I think it's going to be called "A Matter of Loaf and Death") is a cute fattie; she is ""local beauty and bread enthusiast, Piella Bakewell." Is she an improvement on Lady Tottington or Wendolene? Only time will tell.

2. George Takei's BF is cute! Golly.

3. The Chicago premiere of Kit KxitterXidge (whatever), the latest bit of comforting revisionism from the American Girl franchise, was across the street last night. I saw a lot of...pink bunting. I rather wanted to set up shop on my balcony with a crack pipe and my opera glasses and hoot at the goings-on.

4. RIP Cyd C. Nobody...nobody had greater pins than you.
