She looks great! I really hope she can keep off the drugs/alcohol—I've loved her for years and despite the naysayers, I've always been rooting for her.

Thank you! I was thinking this exact same thing when I saw those pictures. I remember thinking he was gross when he was dating Lohan back in her glory days, and it seems as he ages his dates remain the same age. 21 to 34 is a pretty big leap in maturity and life experience, even if Lovato seems like a cool chick with…

Maybe their lovechild?

Right? And unsurprisingly, he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, even in the minimal scenes he was in...

The pedant in me is strong—this too was my first thought.

It's never going to end—this is just the beginning. I watched a stupid romcom last night on Netflix who featured Lily Collins (daughter of Phil) and Patrick Schwarzenegger. So.

Lady Gaga, is that you?!

Glad you enjoy! This site seems pretty cool. (And thank you—I just googled, so I'm really pretty mediocre. :) )

There's a sort of frisky Medieval chainmail vibe going on I find very enjoyable.

Pshh, you can easily regift that loofah.

Thanks for the information—that's really interesting and something I'm going to look up. :) I start teaching in the fall and the more tools, the better!

Sappho-related trivia time: Madeleine de Scudéry, famous for her salon as well as her fiction (she was widely, widely read by her contemporaries but is less studied today, largely due to the sheer size of her books which were often 10+ volumes), went by "Sappho" in her salon and wrote an embedded story called…

I'm in two seminars right now with the same older male student in each (who I've never encountered before, but I'm in the beginning of my PhD program). Homeboy talks incessantly. He nods and comments under his breath throughout class, as the prof is lecturing/leading discussion, and today repeatedly spoke over the…

I hope this means Frances Conroy will be even more visible in TV/film. She is an outrageously talented actress and was beyond amazing as the matriarch on Six Feet Under.

At least then his presence as a character would have made sense! As it is he was barely window dressing.
