Online Dating Disaster in Broken English
I got around to Netflixing the movie Broken English this weekend, and I was really touched by the story of Nora (the always fabulous Parker Posey), a lovelorn thirtysomething living in New York City. Single and unsatisfied, the first half of the movie courts your sympathies for Nora and the loneliness she's experiencing in many parts of her life.
Frustrated by her lack of men in the beginning, she happens upon a Match.com-like dating site and gets some pretty funny — yet harsh and straightforward news: "Your selection didn't turn up anything."
Broken English: Parker Posey, All Grown Up
The realization struck me hard about halfway through Broken English: Parker Posey isn't Party Girl anymore. She hasn't been Party Girl for years, of course, and the roles she's taken have evolved steadily from neurotic 20-somethings to neurotic 30-somethings. But in Broken English, I saw for the first time that Posey and her characters are adults now — a little less hopeful, a little more world-weary, a lot more afraid of the idea that this could be the best life gets.
Posey & Drea Debut Their Broken English
Yay, how cute is the premiere of Broken English!? Sorry, sometimes I get a little excited about Parker Posey, Sofia Coppola, and Drea de Matteo -- so when they're all together it's pretty awesome. The movie they're out to celebrate looks pretty seriously precious and funny and endearing, too.
Movie Preview: Parker Posey in Broken English
Broken English first caught my eye when it premiered at Sundance earlier this year because it stars one of the greatest film actresses out there (Parker Posey), and because it was written and directed by a lady (Zoe Cassavetes). Since then, I've just been waiting for it to come out, and this Friday the wait is over. Originally, it looked like a comedy — and was billed as such — but now, having seen the trailer I'm not so sure.

Picture It: Bridge to Nowhere, Missiles to Alaska
A man walks on the Broken Bridge, which connected China and North Korea until the US bombed it in the Korean war. North Korea is stirring tensions as it prepares to send a satellite into orbit April 4, which in English translates to "test-firing advanced ballistic missiles capable of reaching Alaska."
The US, among other countries, is not pleased; kidnapping two US journalists has not helped matters.

- Four out of five people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are infected with an enterovirus -- one of the viruses that cause respiratory and gastrointestinal infections -- compared with only one out of five healthy people. The virus might be a trigger for CFS, although research has not yet confirmed a cause-and-effect relationship.
- According to new guidelines, symptoms that suggest a diagnosis of CFS include disabling fatigue that starts suddenly, lasts a long time, keeps coming back, and can't be explained by another condition. Other symptoms may include difficulty concentrating or sleeping, dizziness, headaches, muscle or joint pain, sore throat, and palpitations.

Teen pop queens Aly and AJ, must have a geeky side. The sister duo, which is known for their "Chemicals React" song, recently teamed up with EA Games and released their hit in Simlish. While I'm a die-hard Sims fan, I don't know the girls very well, so I was a little shocked at first.
Doing Drugstore: Nature's Cure Acne Treatment
You know how you can go to Walgreens, and the bottom of the shelf has a bunch of unusual products you've never heard of? Well, I saw Nature's Cure Acne Treatment ($9.99), a homeopathic remedy for acne, and thought it sounded a bit quacky. After all, I'd had bad luck with a previous fling with supplements.
