Exactly. The one person I feel very sorry for in this whole debacle is Tara. It seems like she worked really hard for a cause she really cares about, and now, even if she wins, it's not about people with intellectual disabilities, it's about a fight that she didn't choose to be a part of.

This guy is off his rocker if he things his daughter is going to be 'indoctrinated' while trying to find different types of wildflowers at the state park. Wait... that might make her consider the possibility of climate change. When she's detailing a healthy diet for her Eating for Beauty badge... she's playing right…

Yeah, according to Politico, she's already announced she's going to move: [www.politico.com]

Yeah, I figured that's what she meant, but she DOES employee many people to keep her brand alive. She has to, and it's not a bad thing at all. I just found her word choice rather... odd.

I propose a moratorium on the 'Who's More Tired' competition that seems to be sweeping the (virtual) world. I was talking on #groupthink last weekend about how a Facebook friend was smugly declaring that you didn't know what 'tired' was until you had kids. Which is complete bs, of course. His life is not my life,…

Cute jock, though! I'd still wear his strap.

Make lists, and make them really, REALLY specific. Add things that are not studying in there, too. Like:

Exactly! Scrutinize her tax rate all you want, but comments on pretty gym bags do not biting political commentary make.

I'm confused. Is KK not allowed to carry a Birkin bag because it's too flashy? Or is she not allowed to go work out with it because it's too fancy to carry whatever it is you take to the gym? And if that's the case, should she switch to a less expensive bag, even though we know she has money, because it would be…

Yup. Happened to me last fall. AND I still see the dude on a weekly basis. I think the only thing that helps is a little bit of wallowing, followed by a rebound crush (real or imaginary) followed by time. Though it still stung when he was talking last week about the price of valentine's day flowers. Yeah... Still…

This guy: the Amelia Bedelia of air travel?

Yeah... I agree. But baby steps!

I think that when you're 2 weeks from your due date, it's okay. Non-induced babies come that early all the time.

So happy that she switched to more body-hugging clothing. Evey time I saw her perform I wanted to be like, girl! You're beautiful. Show it the eff off. This? The dress, the hair, the song? Flawless. You go, girl.

How's everyone feeling about fashion week so far? I'm, honestly, kind of bored. Besides Derek Lam, who has some beautiful tailoring, and Christian Siriano, whose clothes are just FUN, it all seems to be fall colors (brown, black, red, orange), busy patterns, and the occasional sparkle. Which is fine, but it's…

My grandma does this to me all the time. She can't even give me a compliment without undermining it somehow. (You have such beautiful eyebrows. When you were younger your eyebrows were so big and bushy, I thought you were going to have a unibrow!). It's incredibly hurtful, and it sucks that you have to deal with…

Ooh, that looks so interesting! Paul Krugman is the shiz, and widely reviled amongst the more conservative contingent of the department. This of course, means I praise him often in papers, essay questions, and class. Thanks, I'll pick it up!

Just popped in to say that online classes SUCK! I'm taking Intermediate Microeconomics this (my last) semester, and ho-lee-crap. Last week I somehow managed, by not scrolling down, to think I took the entire quiz when I only took about 1/5 of it, resulting in a score of 2.9/40. Yup, you read that right. I got less…

Last semester I got a lower grade than I'd anticipated in one of my classes, so I sent an email to the prof asking him what was up. Upon reflection (and Jez-flection) I realized it was incredibly rude, so I emailed an apology. I never heard back, so I figured I'd overstepped my bounds and shrugged it off. A couple…

I've been looking at the shows on nymag.com. So far I think my fave is rag & bone. What's yours?
