...open-minded and stop our fighting, I went to a seminar about inoculation at Cassandra's yoga center. Along with about 50 other people, we paid $30 each to listen to Dr. Lauren Feder.

...held off competition from the Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon and South London rapper Jamie T to reach No. 1. Do you listen to any of them? I'm not familiar, really, with the modern music. Well, I don't really listen to music. If I switch on the radio and hear some nice classical music, I will sit and listen to it but I don't sort of play records or go for any particular type of music...
