Idol

Dear iTunes,

Your Genius feature rocks my socks off. It's amazing really. I'll love you forever and ever because of it.

But.

Just because I bought that naughty version of "Ring of Fire" by that one dude from American Idol does NOT mean I want MORE MUSIC FROM THE REST OF THOSE PEOPLE.

Sooo...can you kinda get smarter about my recommendations now? Please?

Thanks.

Warm regards,

Kelly

Recurring question

I've often wondered how many strangers' photographs I end up in. How often do people sit around a photo album, and see me? Of course they don't know it's me, but I'm there.

Irish eyes are smiling

Joe: I forgot it's St. Patrick's Day today. Did you?

Me: Of course not. I remembered.

Joe: Oh.

[pause]

...But you're not wearing any green.

Me: I don't have to wear green. I bleed green.

I have an obligation to hate Elmo with every fiber of my being. Just because Grover always has been and will forever be my favorite on Sesame Street. When Elmo came along, all cute and lispy, he TOTALLY PUSHED GROVER OUT.

I will never forget.

However.

This. Is. Hilarious.

Hell yeah there is

Newly formed White House Council on Women and Girls.

Obama:

"But at the same time, when women still earn just 78 cents for every dollar men make, when one in four women still experiences domestic violence in their lifetimes, when women are more than half of our population but just 17% of our Congress," he said before signing the order. "When women are 49% of the workforce but only 3% of our fortune 500 CEOs, when these inequalities stubbornly persist in this country in this century then I think we need to ask ourselves some hard question and we need to take a hard look at where were falling short and who were leaving out and what that means for the prosperity and the vitality of our nation."

Valerie Jarrett:

"The council is going to examine all the programs at the federal level that touch on women and girls and we're going to work to coordinate and make sure that each of those programs is doing everything that it could do to help support women and girls"
