“In March, Awards World magazine sponsored the inaugural ‘Awards Awards’ at London’s Dorchester Hotel, handing out awards to members of the British awards-presentation industry for the year’s best awards shows. Spokesperson Barbara Buchanan explained, ‘Everybody likes to win an award,’ even the people who give out awards (who staged ceremonies for about 1,000 major presentations in Britain last year). Although Buchanan called this year’s program a success, she said it is disqualified from receiving any awards at next year’s Awards Awards. [BBC News, 3-5-04]”

It’s nice to think about, though. I mean, the moon.
Oh my goodness! I think I might just move to Canada.

(You looked at the URL, didn’t you? You cheater.)
(Um, or you figured out they don’t do Society pages anymore.)
He’s Eric! She’s Alison! They have blogs!
Incidentally, remember that one time I mentioned how weird it was that there are so many wig shops on Fourth Street? Well, VINDICATION!
Reasons not to trust astrology
“In Greek mythology, the God of War was called Aries.”
Um, no? Ares was the god of war. Aries was a legendary ram. Nice try, though, and I’m definitely going to trust anything else you say in that article.
