Once again they chose the WORST designer to win. Her clothes were hideous but the judges said she was "fashion forward". My favorite was robbed! Its even more annoying because you could easily tell that she was the favorite and they wanted her to win. She was on the bottom 3 TIMES! She also did the same thing over and over again. Humbug ha.

Put a healthy dollop of whipped cream atop it and a little bit of spice, whatever you fancy. I used nutmeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineBluePsy Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Ok so now that I've watched 3 seasons of Sons of Anarchy I really like the show, but despise Tara. I mean could the writers make her anymore of a helpless whiner? Even when she is standing up for herself she looks ridiculous, like a kid imitating a grown up. I also just don't find it very believable that a talented surgeon would be slumming it in a no name town with I guess well meaning criminals. I get that the shows focus is the men, but it would be nice to see stronger female characters other than Gemma.

Happy Holidays everyone! That was something I never understood about the show. The designs they praised were often terrible or really boring and the winner rarely made sense to me. I liked the season that Chloe Dao won and felt that she really deserved it. She made stuff I actually wanted to wear and made stuff I never considered wearing look flattering and unique. Of course she has a successful clothing line now in some far away part of the world. Did Christian Siriano win his season? I like seeing what he is doing now, which is dressing people that most designers won't go near because they aren't 5'10 size zeros. The range and creativity he has seem like a good recipe for a lengthy career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'll never be able to afford Roberi's clothes but I would love to wear them! I like how he wasn't always trying to be "sexy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neist Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 So, today was my daughter's fourth birthday. I took her to the Science Museum Oklahoma. I am very tired. I was there for five hours. Geez, where do kids get their energy from? Also, the Science Museum Oklahoma is super cool! I was raised in Oklahoma, and I've been to the museum probably at least a dozen times, but it's been at least a decade since I last visited. It's neat!

Pink Fuzzy Bunny Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 My preliminary exam is in a month, and I'm already stressing out the wazoo. Ugh! I think i'm going to make some shitty shelving (the best kind of shelving!) to go in my pantry. Should've done it sooner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need Coffee in an IV Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 it feels weird that carrie fisher is gone. She was only 60. She helped remove the stigma of mental illness a little bit which was super brave of her. It makes morality kinda real because my parents and bfs are close to her age. I'm basically done with my application now I just wait for letters. Again ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineBluePsy Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I can't believe Zsa Zsa Gabor was 99 when she died! She looked great for 99. Then her adopted son dies shortly after....anyone else having Anna Nicole Smith flashbacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineBluePsy Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 @Pink Fuzzy Bunny My mom just stuffs hers in a box all put together to avoid the take apart struggle.

Ours is an oral exam over "advanced undergrad" material - the purpose isn't so much to see what you know, but how you attack problems that you don't know the answer to. Or something. I'm toast.

Our preliminary exam tests us on basic concepts that we should have mastered early in our program so that can include some things learned in undergrad (depending on where you went and classes taken), but mostly things learned in the first 2 years of the PhD. It seems odd that your programs goal is to assess what you know less well. I mean honestly, who actually needs an exam to say "yeah I don't know how to do that" rather than just being asked?

Need Coffee in an IV Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Ouch those exams sound awful, good luck on those! In fun news I got my new shoes and they fit wonderfully! I had to exchange the old ones since they were a bit big. It took over 2 hours but worth it! As a huge PSA, keep the correct shoe boxes people!

Eh, some people are terrible at tests. Mendel (of pea fame) failed his teaching exams. Horribly. Tests certainly aren't a measure of potential, and I certainly have seen that anecdotally in my life. Grit by Angela Duckworth is super elucidating on that point, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyscientist Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 @Pink Fuzzy Bunny my quals (what my program calls prelims) are in April, so I feel your pain. Initially they were going to be end of January but we realized I hadn't fulfilled my academic integrity training (10 hrs in total, and 2 of my classes count for 3 hrs each). So delayed torture! Coffee, new shoes sounds like fun! What type did you get? Today I managed to get a paper out for a conference, well to my old advisor to approve, which I am thrilled about because it took me 2 days to get the whole thing done. I also arranged a facetime with one of my best friends in the whole word. And he might be coming over for spring break!!! I'm so excited right now!!!
