Was trying to find a “Belated Friendiversary” card for Maria
Surprisingly couldn’t find a “just over 7 years ago today I sat drunk next to you on a couch at Wood and complained about my love life loudly” card… but I did get a kick out of this: In light of the fact that I’m headed to a “non-traditional” grad school program soon, I enjoyed [...]

Advice from my former boss
Since this happened at my old job, my boss thought that I might find these tips helpful. Of course, these details are really irrelevant when you work in advertising and are only attracted to men whose pants are looser than yours… since you won’t meet anyone at the office you’re interested in.

Best news ever for my favorite show ever (I mean, almost my favorite show)
Friday Night Lights has been renewed for two more seasons. Fingers crossed Tim Riggins is forced to stay in Dillon so we get two more seasons of:

Lost v. American Idol… is there even a debate?
EW has a “debate” about which is better Lost or American Idol. Don’t bother clicking through unless you’re looking to waste 4 minutes of your life. This struggle between shows is really the base of all my disagreements with Elena. Long story short, we may have our own Lost v. Idol debate on this blog. [...]

Meat backlash is so in right now…
So I tried to ignore recent reports that, in addition to causing global warming, deforestation, air and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity, red meat shortens your life span and increases risk of cancer/heart disease, but then Paul sent me another article about it and I needed to fess up. Maybe they weren’t talking about [...]

So… I probably won’t be learning this one
Dance crazes appear to be a bit more complicated than they were in my day. (Warning, don’t watch if you can’t stand Miley Cyrus): For comparison, here’s what I grew up on:

Republican Reading List!
Again, you can follow my reading lists every weekday morning at the American Issues Project (and I’m always looking for suggestions for new sources, posts, feeds, etc). Here’s what happened this week: Senator Specter spoke out against card check (and made me a proud Pennsylvanian!) Mark Levin represented conservatism well. Victor Davis Hanson ranted about [...]

Good news and bad news…
So I’ve avoided commenting on my beloved Yankees for the most part this off season because… well the money spent was embarrassing, A-Rod’s antics were and continue to be embarrassing, and… well… that’s pretty much enough for me. But Baseball Prospectus is not predicting a good year for my boys (87 wins) and delivers this [...]

American Idol Recap: Top 10 Week (Motown)
American Idol contestants headed to Detroit to learn from Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy this week. Early web rumors suggested this would be the week that Lil Rounds and Danny Gokey would shine this week… but did they? This week’s panel had some attendance issues directly related to it being spring break and Eric, Mike, [...]
