I love to get bathrobes and slippers for Christmas. A robe is always on my list and my Mother always gets me a new pair of slippers.

If anyone is reading this, here is my wish list for robes and slippers, which make great choices to give as well.

When it’s time to sport a toned-down look that still exudes plenty of class, black patent leather is a top choice.

The Saffiano Patent Tote from Salvatore Ferragamo is a simply designed bag with double handles and silver trimmings.  An interior zip pocket holds all of your valuables with plenty of security, and there’s even space for the cell phone and iPod.

It’s time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the advice column in which everyone’s problems are solved by inhaling copious amounts marijuana. (Did we mention? Don’t do drugs!) Got a burning question? Send it to tips@jezebel.com with “pot psychology” in the subject line.

Dear Slut Machine, I have a crush on my guy friend’s roommate. I’m tempted to tell my friend that I heart his roommate, but I’d rather handle my own business. How do I go about showing his roommate that I’m interested without using my friend as a middle-man?

Details are sketchy at the moment, but some IT folks at Morrisville State College have tracked down a strong and disruptive signal being emitted from Xbox 360s, which messes with WiFi and possibly other 2.4GHz radios such as Bluetooth headsets. The signal is put out even when the console is turned off, as long as it’s plugged in, since the 360 is continually looking for controllers to hook up with. Research is ongoing as to how much interference the 360 is actually causing, but apparently the signal is jumping all over the 2.4GHz band. Of course, 2.4GHz devices have always had a bit trouble with interference, but further research will tell if the 360 is taking things too far.

So you want to look fashionable and stylish, but you don’t quite know what goes with what or how to get that polished look.  So how do put together just the right clothes with just the right shoes, with just the right, etc.?

Answer:  You let the experts do it for you.  Then you buy the stuff, put it on, and take full credit for coming up with it yourself.

Yup, it’s a second Today In Catalogs. (We couldn’t resist). Now up: Sur La Table, the culinary/cookware retailer that likes to think of itself as the “Art And Soul Of Cooking.” We just got the holiday edition of the catalog, and after taking a quick glance, began to notice that the company is shilling kitchen items that could easily be confused for sex toys. (So it’s all the funnier that Sur La Table is a fave of Oprah, and on a few occasions, her audience members were even “treated to gift bags filled with products” from the company.) After the jump, our dirty minds assign different, ahem, uses to upscale cookware.

Did you hear? Oprah Winfrey has officially endorsed Barack Obama, which is great! Unless you’re one of Oprah’s many female fans who are white… and Hillary supporters. There are a lot of women who were really hoping a woman would be president. Because, finally, a woman has a chance to win. And Hillary may have had a better shot with Oprah backing her. But Oprabama is in full effect, and now there’s a thread called “OPRAH IS A TRAITOR” on the message boards of Oprah’s own damn site. Politico blogger Ben Smith notes that the post has “4,988 comments, with thousands more under other posts.” CNN reports that the commenters are upset that Oprah has seemingly chosen Obama because he is black, charge she adamantly denies. “I get a little… I guess the word is ‘offended,’” Winfrey said on Good Morning America Wednesday.

It seemed reusable shopping bags were all the range in Tokyo when I went… they came in all colors, patterns, shapes and sizes. Coming from a country that emphasized “green” living, it wasn’t too surprising. All public waste baskets separated recyclable trash, streets were full of hybrids… I even saw a few smart cars. Anyhow, it was hard to resist picking up a few of these bags for myself and for gifts. They were usually pretty cheap and come in the most innovative little cases.

I know so many people who go shopping at the grocery store and pick up Snackwell’s, skim milk, “light” sour cream and cream cheese, etc. The “fat free” craze has taken America by storm. Experts rationalize that if what you’re consuming has less fat, you’ll automatically lose weight - fat has 9 calories per gram, whereas carbs and protein have 4. Makes sense, right?

Not so fast. For one thing, just because something is fat-free doesn’t mean it’s low in calories. One thing that food manufacturers do is try to compensate for the lack of fat by adding salt and sugar. When you buy something fat-free, it’s automatically higher in sugar. This may seem innocent, but here’s a quick look at what extra sugar does in your body:
