@PeggyJoan: Gah! I SO want to see this! Did you catch the Fresh Air interview with the Coens?

@thereisalight: yes—-esp since the Prof isn't going to look at them until Monday—-and then actually grade them the week after next!

@PintoBeans: Don't. Seriously, you deserve it. And if you don't let go of the guilt, you will never enjoy it.

@thats-a-negative-ghostrider: AMEN!

@Slikiez: Thanks for that!

@disco2000: exactly. Also, wtf—-lose weight before you try to conceive? Hello! Get all your dental work done ahead of time?

@zeusdidit: Thanks! Will do.

@Angelina Scarangella: Thanks!

@Princess Adora aka She-ra: Thank you so much for the reassurance. I know you're right—-especially the part about making the next right choice. Also, no more A Baby Story on TLC.

Jezebel, you go too far!

@margarine-for-error: I agree. Anyway, even if he WAS pro-monogramy, is that a real problem?

@TopLevelExecutive: um, what? Link to something for me to see. I am a devoted listener/reader of color who has no idea what you are talking about.

I don't know, Sadie. If you are a regular listener to his podcast, you'd know that he has pretty sound advice about teenage sex. He's sex-positive but also is always reminding kids that they are KIDS, ie, you don't need to be whining about your mom not letting your boyfriend sleepover because you're still under her…

@ghanedi: agreed!

Hello! We need to reclaim this #hashtag!

After watching this last night, I will say this: while it was not super exciting, it was really, really nice to see a show where people worked hard to lose weight and took realistic steps. It was nice to see how their confidence grew, and it was especially nice to see them looking like totally normal people at the…

I adore Annette Bening! Seriously, I'd love to see more ladies rocking the glasses on the red carpet.
