When Jane Pratt, former Sassy editor, was 29, she told the New York Times she was "really, like, 19, you know." So now she's 32-just the right age to date Ethan ("Speaking of Goatees") Hawke, 24. Appropriately, the two were introduced by Richard Linklater, director of Slacker, and were last seen together at a party for Douglas Coupland, author of Generation...
...gets halfway through his new novel, Amis is providing mostly distraction. The comedy becomes shtiky, with a few exceptions--like the drunken theater critic who nearly completes the first word of his review before falling unconscious onto his keyboard. The word is "Chehko."

Besides listen to the radio, all I do is sit in the dining hall, debate my caffeine addiction, watch the snow fall, and see if I can pick four classes that all show at least one Disney film during the semester. I've also been practicing my telekinetic powers...
