I'm just an empty uterus

New federal guidelines now ask healthcare professionals to treat all women of childbearing age as "pre-pregnant". The recommendations themselves are nothing new- get enough folic acid, don't smoke, maintain a healthy weight, etc, etc. They've been saying that forever.

Read this from The Stranger's Dan Savage:
"Gee, it looks like Margaret Atwood was on to something. (It's time to re-read or rent The Handmaids Tale.) Ordering American women and their doctors to regard every uterus as "pre-pregnant" at all times because a woman may do harm to a fetus she doesn't know she's carrying opens the door to one day prosecuting women for failing to regard themselves as "pre-pregnant." Sound far-fetched? Well, so did a war on contraception a few years ago...There is a bright side in the CDC's announcement: If we're going to regard all females as pre-pregnant, then we can, as my friend Gomez points out, regard all virgins as merely pre-fucked."

Forgive me, but I don't think that Gweneth Paltrow and Jake whatever-his-last-name-is are believable when cast in roles as brilliant mathematicians.
Can someone give me some good movie suggestions? I need to numb my overworked brain. Or maybe I should start reading trashy romance novels, or Judy Blume's "adult" books (not adult like adult movies).
I'm almost done with my thesis. Almost isn't good enough though when the presentation is on Monday and graduation is in 9 days and my thesis advisor decided to go on vacation for a week and hasn't proof-read or helped with anything when everyone else's thesis advisor has been involved through the whole process and actually reads their drafts and edits them instead of emailing back comments like "this looks good so far". Fuck.
