Where's Jason Statham?

It's such shoddy research it makes me want to stomp around the office like Godzilla.

More please.

Philosophy pays quite well, as long as you're going into an area of demand. The problem - and I say this as someone who was a philosophy graduate student - is definitely the sexism, and the fact that until very recently (like, the McGinn case recently), there were few recourses.

Yup. I actually assumed (based on perceived hair texture) that we were seeing a mix of white and East Asian vulva/labia there. Racism/diversity is a really different beast in Australia than America - as you note, when folks in America call out a lack of diversity, it quite often means "where are the brown people at?"…

1) Just got back from Sydney;

LOOK ON MY LADYBITS AND DESPAIRRRR!!!!

I guess I'm not a romantic, because I would be totally embarrassed by something like this...just seems so over the top and unnecessary. Of course, my hubby proposed to me while I was making dinner by coming up behind me, putting his arms around me and whispering, "So, do you wanna marry me or what?"

I proposed to my wife on the shore of a lovely river in an ancient european capital. To get her there, I had to promise her ice cream, which she only sullenly accepted as bait. Once I proposed, she seemed a little confused, and then said "I guess."

My bf loves cuddling but only while he's conscious. When he's asleep, he'll immediately retreat to the cooler edge of the bed. I'm always cold so if I wake up and I'm not being cuddled, I will scoot to where he is and force-cuddle him. He subsequently scooches down further away from me. This continues until he's about…

From the way they're positioned, it looks like the two tentacles are about to high-five. I am unsettled.

No, no, don't worry, the bats can/will kill you, too.

D'aw, look at the adorable little vectors! THEY'RE SO CUTE!

I've loved bats ever since I read this as a kid

Heh. Try 23 hours, a date line crossover, and $1700-$3000, depending on the time of the year.

Yeah, I don't really see it going away. Ask me again in five years, I guess, but even once he's here, there's no guarantee it's permanent for another few years, or after that. International LDR, you're aware of how nebulous status is and how precious your time is together for a really, really long time.

Congrats on your impending move! He's coming this way (I know, people think we're crazy, but the job market is better here for academia), so we've got a little while longer before we'll be permanently in the same space.

Heh, trust me, the fiancé and I see a lot of the mundane, sloppy, unglamorous bits. Last week, he was down with the flu ('tis the season in Australia) the entire week, and I was out for four days with a migraine. We were both curled up in bed with video chat open, horrible bed head, messy sheets, one of us…
