Kat with a K

Endnotes (2/16/10)

The Tuohys of The Blind Side are writing a book.

That NH state rep claiming that Nashua public schools were teaching gay sex to fifth graders? Retracted it.

The worst figure skating costumes ever? Enh. Some of them are bad, but I kind of like Boitano's soldier costume. And there are so many other awful ones that didn't make the slideshow.

Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief: Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries have been renewed.

I'm a fan of Nora Ephron's movies, so I was interested to see her Top 11 Romantic Movies. Alyssa and others have pointed out that almost all the movies are older, and that one of the reasons for this is that older movies tended to have more going for them, plot-wise, than modern romantic comedies do. But I think there's another reason, too: I would put at least You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally toward (maybe even at) the top of my list of best modern romantic comedies. Ephron's too modest for that.

Ned Lamont is officially running for governor of CT.
