Regarding the hedgehog dilemma, Elizabeth Gilbert speaks regarding porcupines.

Also, with props to Kelly AT for the heads-up, Chris Brown's performance at the Grammys last night. Notable are his shoes, the mashed potatoes-like dance moves around 3:23, and his back flip off the set. i don't know what's up with the lime-green capes, either.
