The main reason to take these kinds of pills? If you work out. I got this tip from the ever-clever Jenn who suggested them to me after I complained about body aches caused from going to the gym. They totally work, too. I never feel any kind of pain now, no matter how hard I push myself at the gym. The recommended dosage on my particular fish pill bottle is 2-3 a day, but since these tablets are so damn fat - I only take one a day. Works like magic. Definitely try this out if you're ever complaining of any body parts hurting the day after going to the gym.
Song of the Moment
Can't even tell you how much this gets played when I'm on a treadmill at the gym.
Nathan at Caroline's
Do you see that? DO YOU? Yeah, he's gonna be at Caroline's. Do you understand how good that is? Just incase you don't, let me assure you that it's a big deal. Way too proud of this man. If you're in NYC, there is no reason for you not to be here Wednesday night (November 13th).
You can get tickets here (and they're $5.50 each if you use the access code BREAKOUT).

Outfit of the Day
Stop everything you're doing and FIND ME THIS DRESS.
Turn Your Lights Down Low
Can't tell you how many times I think about the lyric, "Loving you is like a song I replay every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day." I don't know why - it's not terribly great or anything - but every time I hear it, ugh, I just love it.

Is The Man Who Is Tall Happy?
Obviously, I'm really excited to see this. It opens in limited release on November 22nd.
“Women are all that we’re ever gonna know of paradise on earth.”
White Poppies? Fuck Off.
Not enough words for how much this enrages me. I almost don't want to have too strong of an opinion here since, well, people can do whatever they want and everyone has that right. But I find this whole thing tactless, disrespectful and wildly ignorant.
"A handful of university students have hopped aboard the left-wing Rideau Institute's "white poppy" bandwagon for Remembrance Day, promoting their pacifist ideology by piggybacking on the Royal Canadian Legion's red poppy campaign.
"Young people don't want to celebrate war," Celyn Dufay of the University of Ottawa said. "We want to work for peace."
With the imposing National War Memorial behind him, Dufay unveiled a pin Monday he and a gaggle of activists will distribute this week.
The pin puts the Rideau Institute's "I Remember for Peace" slogan on a white poppy - a controversial symbol that has angered the legion before.
Bill Maxwell, secretary of the legion's poppy remembrance committee, said Dufay and the Rideau Institute don't understand Remembrance Day symbols.
"The red poppy is a symbol of sacrifice," Maxwell said. "It's not a glorification of war."
Conservative MP Erin O'Toole, a military helicopter navigator before entering politics, said the red poppy already stands for peace.
"That peace came at the cost of many, many lives," O'Toole said. "So, to run a simultaneous (white poppy) campaign that really detracts from the day I think is not only inappropriate, it actually undermines the message."
Dufay hopes to distribute about 2,500 white poppy pins, including at the national Remembrance Day ceremony next week.
Maxwell said that won't go over well with veterans.
"I think they may even take it personally," he said. "I'm sure they would."
Dufay said he'll distribute the pins anyway.
"We can't account for other people's feelings, however, no one has a monopoly over Remembrance Day," he said."
