Hello and welcome to the Saturday edition of Top Comments!
I've just come off of a late-night release at work so I've had NO sleep. Therefore you will find no pithy statements, no thoughtful commentary, and no social insight from me this evening. Just a big round of hugs, some mixed drinks, well wishes, and a kick-off to tonight's big shebang. I envision myself in a great four-corner poster bed in silk lounging pajamas, holding a martini and surrounded by jaguars. Come as you wish to be. May the party commence.
If it's your first time here, WELCOME! Please feel free to jump in to the comments below; we're a friendly bunch and everyone who drops in is welcome to play. Just pipe up and say "hi". Comment recommendations, diary pimping/whoring, recipes, snark, dating tips, city tours, advice for the love-lorn, Top Tigers, top nonnie, online flirting, and general silliness are specialties of the house.
The choices listed below are guaranteed 100% subjective for your protection. If I missed one you loved, add it below!
