interview meme

Meme! Via barilosopher.

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Ask away - it's February vacation!

So, I have a pint of half-and-half that I mistakenly bought for a recipe that doesn't actually use half-and-half, and now I have this half-and-half sitting around. I never use half-and-half. How should I use it?

The Romantic Life of Brainiacs, from the Boston Globe. So, turns out that all that stuff about college-educated women having fewer chances of getting married is a big load of baloney. I feel silly for being taken in - I think I posted links previously from Forbes and Maureen Dowd on this subject, where dire warnings were issued from both sides of the divide on how hard it will be for educated women to find partners. If you have trouble meeting partners, it's tempting to believe there are exterior reasons for it, at least for me. But the article makes a good point that "The flip side of the dire warnings aimed at educated or high-achieving women is an astonishing contempt for men, whose egos are deemed too fragile to handle an egalitarian relationship." Oops. Sorry, guys.
