Nora, it is probably too specific and possibly not at all the direction you are going , but there are some reports on women in astro and physics here: [link] and here [link] ( afriend of mine was active in some of this, once upon a time.)
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yes, the Oscars are sunday, so I am doing my annual pre-show marathon. I have only seen 4 of the major nominated movies so far. I will watch another Thursday night, another Friday night, hopefully these 5 on Sat., and then 2-3 more on Sunday. It is possible that I would go to one tonight, but I doubt it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Oscars are this Sunday, Nilly.

That's great, sarameg, thank you!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought the frat boys were very boring at first, but they grew on me by the end. They're big dorks, which I like.

I like that they aren't trying to pretend they're anything they aren't -- they're like, "we're lazy! We hate to work." I'm fine with that.

Were the hippies the only ones who actually had any Portuguese?

Thanks, msbelle and Jesse. And good luck with your marathons, msbelle!
Usually I know that the Oscars took place when I log in to b.org, see hundreds upon hundreds of new Natter posts, have no idea what the movies mentioned are (mostly) and enjoy skimming the clothes discussions. If all that the Oscars had were the Buffistas clothes discussions, I would still be quite pleased.

TAR: Wow, I found them really offensive, though from the intro I thought I might like them. It seemed to me like they were constantly talking about "bitches", sex obsessed in a very "women are there for me to judge" kind of way and yadda yadda. I didn't save the recording or I'd go back and watch to a) marshal my argument and b) see if I was overreacting.
The mother and daughter (who I like better than I thought I would, the daughter anyway) have Spanish, but I don't think anyone else has demonstrated any language facility.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The frat boys were NCAA track stars in their college days, fwiw. They do actually know how to work hard, but they're definitely slacking careerwise now.
