...have been waiting for approximately three months and I am starting to develop a weird neck twitch from the anxiety and the fear. January, February and March have begun to blur into one long, cold waiting period. While I have not yet had sleepless nights in which I stars at my ceiling anxious about my summer, I know that they are coming soon. I am constantly assuring myself not to worry and to stop demonstrating obsessive-compulsive behavior--an internship, any internship will come. My friends no longer bring up the topic of summer plans because I tend to start...
Atkinson has muscles in his face most people aren't aware of. Every tweak, every twitch is expertly crafted with supremely labile comic expressiveness; he could conduct a symphony with his eyebrows. Watching that face react to preposterously inextricable situations that the rest of his body has created is a delight.

Why the sudden interest in what young women may want? In a word: Barbie. Mattel last fall released a disc called Barbie Fashion Designer that was a runaway best seller, proving once and for all that...
That's good, I guess; no pain, no gain. But can I twitch through six more weeks of virtuous nibbling and meditation and moderate behavior? Will enlightenment and serenity finally make clear to me the meaning of "antioxidant"? One thing is sure: only the strong survive...
