Remember all that stuff that I've said "I'll do after graduation" over the last three years? Like, any time someone told me about a show I should watch or a book I should read and I was like, "pshaw, sure, maybe after I graduate ( Read more... )

I just read this article about how applications to Cornell Law are way up this year, and it includes the offhand remark that some "credited Andy Bernard, of 'The Office' fame" for the spike in interest ( Read more... )

As warned, I made another blog so I could write about getting married and all the meshugas of wedding planning (Including, if my gratuitous Yiddish didn't clue you in, "choosing to be chosen" by converting to Judaism ( Read more... )

Oh, Livejournal, I miss you. I sort of feel like you are Sharon Cherski, and I know things are really weird because I have been hanging out with Rayanne (Facebook) and Rickie (Twitter) all the time, and they're super cool, and they understand like, my needs, attention-span wise, or whatever that means. You know? And I'm trying to get closer to ( Read more... )

First couple grades from last semester are in, and they're both... fine. Neither is higher than expected nor drastically lower. I feel, mainly, relieved ( Read more... )

Because of Alanis Morissette I have no idea what "irony" actually is. I was at prime advanced-language-skills-development age when that song about knifey-spoony and tardy clemency orders and rainy weddings was a hit, and I remember smart people whining about how all the stuff in that song isn't actually ironic, but they'd never quite explain what ( Read more... )

I haven't been on LJ in a while, because I've had less time to waste on the Internet lately. I'm up at 5AM and not quite awake enough to study, so I try to catch up. Only... I can't? I can only read the last ten entries on my friends page? There is no "previous page" button? And when I put /?skip=10 at the end of the URL I get my layout but no ( Read more... )

You know what I don't like? People who get grumpy or judgy about people wearing sexy Halloween costumes.

I am 100% done with hearing the following comments:

• Everything can be turned into a slutty costume! (E.g. slutty pumpkin, slutty environmentalist, slutty dishwasher).
  
• "Sexy" costumes are not really sexy!

A comment that I will still tolerate is ( Read more... )

Items on Craigslist I have had an impulse to buy while reading everything in the for-sale column today:

1. A 1962 Chevy Impala with rust damage and an absurdly high asking price.
   
2. A Little Tikes Cozy Coupe Police Car. It has a little plastic police scanner that makes noise!!!
   
3. A goat named Snickerdoodle.
   
4. A laminating machine.
   
5. A full size practice tree ( Read more... )

Before it got its own URL and was just a sub-page on Slate, I thought Double X was the poor lady's Broadsheet, but I still read it. When it went solo, it became much crappier. By which I mean it went from being writing by women for women about women (not always feminist, but usually at least interesting) to being writing for "women" sort of in the ( Read more... )
