Does the calendar really have to be so confusing? →
sciencecenter: The dates fall on different days of the week every year. The months all have different numbers of days, with no rhyme or reason.

Kristen Bell Says Don't Give Up Hope On A... →
huffingtonpost: huffposttv: I told Kristen Bell I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about “Veronica Mars.” “Do it, do it!,” she chanted. Her message to the fans: “Don’t lose hope,” Bell said. “That’s all I can say. Do not lose hope.” More on the “Veronica Mars” movie here. This morning at the news meeting, Chris from TV kept chanting, “Kristen Bell! Kristen Bell!” Yes, he’s very excited...

The problem with being a double major from UCLA

And until now, nothing could…. A lot of speculation here, and I wouldn’t quite argue that AD’s return is...
