There's something kind of awesome about the idea of going to a different country every day to attend classes!

Something very similar happened to me in high school and I too referred to the student handbook as part of my defense. The results? The administrators proceeded to officially change the dress code.

Oh, I had to go to synagogue too (and still do even though I'm an adult), but we did not go for every holiday. For example, I would have two days off in a row for Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, but we typically went to services only on one day. There's no way my parents would have been able to take that much time…

I'm concerned Jon Stewart is slowly going to morph into Andy Rooney.

Awesome! I heard "Dance Apocalyptic" on the radio this morning while driving to work, and it instantly brightened my mood.

Eh, suck it up. I went to Hebrew day school for 8 years. We had a day off for practically every single Jewish holiday (and there are a lot of them). We even had early dismissal on Fridays for the Sabbath. Sometimes my mother or father would bring me to work and me easy tasks, like alphabetizing papers or affixing…

Nope, I've never been to Las Vegas (ú_ú)

Planning a pool party for a small gathering of people is nothing - we do it at least once a summer. We may not even do that, though (it's up to my mother). By eloping my BF and I will save a ton of money and stress: We want to keep religion out of our ceremony, but my mother would try to force it on us. I was engaged…

My mother will be more angry than crushed. I've already warned her about this and she's hoping that we'll invite a few people to go with us. At the same time, I think she's somewhat relieved that no one will expect her and my father to help pay for the wedding (my father was recently laid off for the second time in 10…

My boyfriend and I intend to marry when he's done with school in about a year. Our game plan is as follows:
1) Buy two plane tickets to Vegas
2) Book a hotel room
3) Find an Elvis* impersonator to officiate, and get hitched
4) Get drunk/have sex/gamble/do whatever we want for fun
DONE.

*Our second choice, since the Star…

Weird Science

I agree that paparazzi culture is nauseating, but no one is trying to imply that they are hooking up. Not that it matters, but I'm guessing you are not aware that Jonathan Groff is, in his words, "gay and proud".

Thanks to Harry Connick Jr, I'll have to hate-watch the upcoming season of American Idol.

I'd like to think Suri broke her arm doing normal kid stuff, like falling off the monkey bars at a playground.

I thought "Fonzworth Bentley" was a silly nickname that you made up for a celebrity until I clicked on the link.

"Sudden speech, the last sign of brain fever. She could blow at any moment!"

Between this conversation and Joe_Mama's comment in another thread that "If you have herpes, you are dirty", I've figured out what's going on: We're being trolled by Terrence Howard.

I have a love/hate relationship with working weekends (which I have been doing for the past 8 years). It is so much easier to run errands during the week when there are fewer crowds and I don't have to take time off to go to one of the 845734095 doctors appoints that I always seem to have on my calendar. If I need to…

Whatever. My Barbies were always dry humping other Barbies - there just weren't enough Ken dolls to fulfill all my Barbies' needs. As for Skipper, I thought she supposed to be a young teenager? On the other hand, you could pair her up with Derek to re-enact Miley's VMAs performance with Robin Thicke.
