I mean, given from what I've heard about MLA interviews (from other grad students and from my adviser), the candidate sometimes wind up sitting on a bed with the interviewers, so there's some pillow talking going on even in normal MLA interviews.

I tried to see Frozen when I visited my parents over the holidays, but all of the showings were sold out. The movie seems to have had something of a groundswell.

This is a great analogy. Stealing for debates with my relatives.

I came back from dinner with friends, and my Tumblr had exploded with Fannibal glee. So excited!

YES. I want those hours of my life back!

Yeah, people take this move WAY too seriously.

Yes! This is the most overpraised movie. All my girlfriends won't shut up about it, and I HATE IT.

Yep. I grew up near Mayville (although on the other side of the state line), and teen pregnancy in the area is out of control, although slightly better than when I lived there about ten years ago.

Oh, man, I'm from around the area as well (although just on the other side of the PA line, but I worked near Mayville during college), and when the Nushawn Williams thing broke it was AWFUL.

Right? I need a gif of that, like, yesterday.

I HAVEN'T DONE ANY WORK ALL DAY THANKS TO THIS ALBUM, AN I DON'T CARE.

Thirding the Jade Harmony mat. I've been practicing for about four years and made the upgrade a few months ago on the recommendation of my yoga teacher. It made all the difference in my practice when I switched from a $20 Gaiam mat and costs about the same as the Lululemon mats. I got mine at Athleta for $70.

This Canisius alum agrees!

Good god, yes. He had me completely hoodwinked.

Same issue here. It's been driving me nuts!

Heh, yeah. I'm looking at physician responses to anti-vaxers in medical journals, and they mostly just keep repeating "It's science! Why won't they listen to us?"

I'm actually doing research on anti-vaccine campaigns from the turn of the last century (small pox, yay!), and it's MIND-BOGGLING how similar the arguments are.

This is exactly what happened to me. I grew up in PA, went to school in Buffalo (and hung out with a lot of Canadians so picked up some of their pronunciations), lived on the Pacific Northwest for a while, and now live in the Midwest. I have an awful lot of red on my map.

Condescending much? Yeeesh.

I'd watch the hell out of that.
