So the cover is quite nice but I wish they had put Biggs on the insert and elevated any of those actresses to the front cover over him. If they wanted a man, Pablo Schreiber (Pornstache) would have been better.

Monica's going to be back in a big way if Hillary runs. They're still trying to make it her moral failure.

Hormones, body changes on top of all the above mentioned. I think that's just about the age that I caved in.

Two weeks before I defended my master's thesis, my time got cut from 25 minutes to 15. Everyone else in my program was thrilled (and I called them lazy bitches for weeks) while I had a crying fit over my precious 1o minutes.

I mention this to emphasize the following point: if I were you, I would be ready to burn…

Idea: Imagine how Jez/Gawker/Newspapers would summarize your work for an article. Only more correct, and with fancier words.

Your thesis sounds interesting, relevant, and awesome!

Wow! That's tough!! I don't know what field you're in, but here in the social sciences, I'd break down that mini-talk into a few sections: background (Why is this important?) and research questions (What was I trying to learn?), highlights of your methods in 1-2 sentences (eg, "I conducted 15, hour-long interviews…

I don't know how this works, but if you don't want to be part of the family, you don't have to be! Just know it'll cause a rift, but she doesn't sound worth holding onto, anyway, but that's your decision. Sorry about her. :(

That is super annoying. I haven't done a pecha kucha, but I have had to seriously cut down my work for academic conferences. The last one I did, my paper was (or at least felt) way too complex to at all explain in the time allowed, so instead of trying to do that I picked one of three major points and did a…

Totally legit advice. This is a weird format for this task, but since you're stuck it it, stick to brass tacks.

Extra short pecha kucha for academic work?? That sounds insane and pointless. I wish you so much luck. My undergrad thesis talk was a normal 15-20 minute affair when I did it. My basic spiel to people about my research probably clocked in at 6 minutes alone, not to mention the actual details. I'm sorry you're being…

This is what I've been working on all day. How are everybody else's finals going?

Don't worry about her sorry ass. That poppy seed in your belly is going to bring you so much joy that you don't even really understand what the word means yet. Take care of yourself, your partner, and your poppy seed and the rest of the world will take care of itself.

How I know I'm an Old, reason #56385: I still associate Christina with YoSaffBridge. Never seen Mad Men.

Not my point.

That is the definition of bodysnarking. If you're going to do it, at least own it.

People need to stop feeling sorry for her. She got so much publicity and name recognition off of Travolta's flub. If anything, she owes Travolta big time.

Yeah, I remember hearing about that. It was why her small duet with Raven Symone in Princess Diaries was like this huge deal at the time.
