My PhD viva (formal examination of my thesis) is on Wednesday afternoon. I'm super nervous - I've now began a funny physiological thing where tears fall when I think of the viva (I'm not crying, but suddenly my eyes are watering.
I would like to request lots of well-wishing and support. A personal cheerleading section…

I'd rather be eating cheese and watching shows than getting my picture taken with One Direction. For real.

In-n-Out staff: "PLEASE, CONTROL YOUR BITCH, SIR"

My family is far from rich, and they go multiple times a year. They'd rather eat frozen burritos and save their money to go to Disneyland. It's like a weird addiction.

I hate Disneyland and love Knott's Berry Farm. I just went a few months ago and the lines zipped by (our longest wait was about 15 minutes) so we rode everything more than once and made ourselves sick on boysenberry punch. It was fabulous.

I live in SoCal and I hate Disneyland. It's unbearably crowded year round. However, my cousin who lives in Washington loves Disneyland and goes every time she visits. It's a nostalgia thing for her. And it is just her and her husband who go. They have a blast. Apparently they don't hate people as much as I do.

This is a really sad story, but I don't think you can lay the blame on either porn or on cyber harassment. I think this lovely young woman made a decision that she didn't think through as thoroughly as she might have. The kids from her high school who harassed her are total jerks and so is the administration for…

It's not a myth. People who come from broken homes or have underlying substance-abuse issues or mental-health problems are more likely to do sex work.

My heart hurts. This is horrible.

I was at my dad's for winter break when I got mine for the first time. Of course, he was on call and got called into work the day it happened and I was home watching my younger brothers. I called him at the hospital and a couple of the women that work with him took me to lunch and a movie because he had surgery and…

Fixed it for you!

Cause its got bits of gr0und-up Palestinians in it? Nice.

One of those popular brands is made in Israel, so I don't buy it. When I'm in Cleveland I get a locally produced brand—Amir—which comes in a plastic jar.

Having Kanye Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, or Khloe Kardashian on a show is a way to make me stop watching it. I think NBC/Universal are a bit late on the young people hating the Kardashians thing. Everyone knows that Kim, like her mother, came up on her back, and people don't like them anymore. The ratings for their…

You think you get it, but it doesn't seem like you do. As evidenced by the fact that you're looking for election results on Jezebel.

Hey Dave, you may want to investigate the linkage between them and Arne Duncan. Also, his links to a group called the Nehemiah Group headed by a man named Scott Syphax and Drexel University.

Oh!!!! What kind of cancer? She's such a gorgeous tortie! Here's our tortie who's fighting cancer too!

In honor of #tbt (lol) and Tara the wunderkitty, I have to share the best cat I've ever known and loved. We lost Pepper to cancer almost 3 years ago and I miss her every day. She was the BEST. She was gentle and loving with all three of my kids (even let my daughter dress her like a baby and push her around in a pram)…

Well, yeah, they probably had to get up at like 2am to do the interview - even if the today show aired it at 9am it would have been 6am in Bakersfield.

They live in California. This kid was up at at least 3:30am for this, I would fall back asleep too.
