Luckily, Anna's delivery was excited and earnest, so I had a lot to work with. Plus, she wanted her speech to be fun: "I'm not going to be like the guys. They're so serious. I actually care. I'm not going to walk up there with a piece of paper like those idiots. And I timed it so it's 45 seconds. I don't want to be embarrassed." I nodded as if I weren't completely ignoring her last sentence...
...They’re focused on the mythology of the show, whereas when we do the show we’re about 90 percent focused on character and 10 percent on mythology.

...Bunnag says the best time to visit Krabi, the sleepy southern Thai beach town famous for its limestone karsts and craggy coastline, is in monsoon season.

Chevillot claims descent from four generations of traditional Burgundy cooks, but Sardine's "cuisine du soleil" is kept delectably light, judging by the likes...
...good performances in the debates and her Tea Party connections. But after some impressive showings in preliminary polls, she appeared to have flatlined as election day drew closer. Her lack of money - just under half a million dollars compared to Perry's $16.7 million and Hutchison's $19.7 million - plus her comment on the Glenn Beck radio show that some of the conspiracy theorists who see the federal government's hand in the 9/11 attacks "have some good arguments" have cost her, Jillson says. Medina is insisting the polls are not picking up her strong grass-roots support...
