There is nothing more comforting than a woman’s lap. A woman in a mini skirt, obvi. I know I can’t sleep without a lady crotch in my face. So, for the guys and girls who can’t get a real woman, some nice man created these pillows.

Who the hell thinks of this ish?

After yesterday’s emergency landing in New York’s Hudson river, U.S Airway’s Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger, or Sully, is now a nationwide hero.

When the flight was bombarded with a flock a geese, Sully was able to land the plane safely in the Hudson River on the west side of Manhattan.  There were 155 people on board, all of which survived.

As Pat Benetar once said, “Where have all the good men gone?” Apparently they are safely landing planes in the Hudson River and saving the lives of 150+ people. I’m about to go Anna Nicole on this guy and just snag him cuz it seems like he may be the last of a dying breed of man.

Here’s why Sully is better than my ex-bf: Read More »

Next week is pretty huge. Not only is Barack Obama being inaugurated as the first black president of the United States, but it is all happening the day after Martin Luther King Day.

MLK Day is often thought of as just another day off of school and a glorious long weekend, but this year – more than any other year – should be different.

MLK died in his efforts to get equal rights for African American men and women. And now, 40 years later, a black man will finally be president. The thought is chilling, and has inspired all of us to dream again. Our dreams and goals really can become reality.

So this week, in honor of MLK, Obama, and history in the making, the CC writers share their dreams for the United States and our futures.

Elisabeth – UA Huntsville: It would be nice to see deserving students be able to get the financial help they need for school without having to jump through ridiculously tiny hoops.

Brithny – Duke University: My dream is to get more sleep so I can actually have dreams. The REM-induced ones. Read More »

Amy Poehler’s got a new show! Woopy!

Cheap (and cute) ways to organize that jewelry.

The other night my mom called me to ask about some singer (“GooGoo? FaFa?”) that was performing on TV with “panty hose on OVER her thong! I could see her butt!” I kindly explained to my mother that her name is Lady Gaga (“Mother, it’s Gaga. GAGA!!”) and that maybe that was just a costume for that particular performance.

But then I went online to avoid listening to my boring Physics lecture to check out some of Lady Gaga’s jams and realized that this girl really hates wearing pants. I mean, she never wears them. Not just for performances – never. Not on the streets, not at parties… ne-ver. It’s like that bad Britney phase.

I mean, the girl has killer legs, but this is a little O.O.C. (Out of control, people; keep up!) She’s getting dangerously close to camel-toe land. I swear, “Just Dance” should be called “Just (Take Off Your Pants and) Dance,” or “Just Dance With Your Goodies Hanging Out.” Although those wouldn’t have quite the same ring.

Don’t believe me? See for yourself: Read More »

With President Elect Obama’s inauguration only days away, the country is aflutter with excitement. The first black president! The change we need! The economic crisis is going to end! (Ok, that one may just be wishful thinking.)

Obama merchandise has been selling like hot cakes (or Natty Lights on a college campus) as people prepare for history in the making.

And we found something that will let you be a part of it all.

Remember Shepard Fairey’s iconic Obama poster? Come on, that thing was everywhere. It was the Obama campaign. (And it’s right there. To the left.)

Well, now you can make one of your very own!

Yes, it’s kinda dorky and sorta pointless, but it’s Thursday and classes are boring and you’d rather do anything than your required reading for tomorrow’s class. (Yeah, sucks to have class on Friday, doesn’t it?)

Even if you don’t love the man, we all love taking pictures of ourselves, no? Check out a few of our favorites, including our very own, below! Read More »

A graph of Obama expectations.

It’s 2009. In an attempt to play it safe, I only made three, fairly simple New Years resolutions: 1) Take one picture every day 2) Implement the word “dig” into my vocabulary and 3) Stay. away. from. douchebags and enjoy being single!

So far, I’ve broken all but one. So, I created this mix so with the intention that listening to it with my girls before I hit the bars this weekend will prevent me from going home with any random loser I might meet (or any douchebag-y ex-boyfriends I might run into).

So I invite all of you to celebrate being single/hating whatever loser lasted screwed you over with this classic Single Ladies/Girl Power pregame playlist.

[Like a magpie, you gravitate towards things that are shiny: cell phones, TVs, anything that allows you to play Rock Band. But just because you love ‘em doesn’t mean you know much about ‘em. That’s where we come in.

So thanks to some clever advertising by Apple, Mac vs. PC has become a sort of pop culture reference point now. Right up there with “Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”

Anyway, the real question is: what’s all the fuss?

Some people are partial to Macs. Others, like myself, (and any other sane person) enjoy their PC’s.

During the early days of the war there was a huge difference in the two products, but now they’re pretty comparable as far as features and software goes. At this point it’s pretty much a matter of personal preference.

The real difference in them isn’t what they do or what they have; anything that a Mac has a PC has, and vice versa. The difference is who makes it. Everything in the Mac is made by Apple. Everything in a PC is not made by one company. On one hand, having many companies contribute to the computer is beneficial as it allows you to replace parts as they break down or need to be upgraded easily and cheaply. On the other hand, your parts are made easily and cheaply, and therefore need to be replaced more often. Read More »

When Oprah high fived Kate Winslet and proclaimed “God bless your real breasts!” I smiled and felt a little bit prouder for women with real breasts everywhere. Not everyone has huge, perky, volleyballs on their chests and it’s about time someone recognized it. Maybe it’s silly that it took a reminder from Oprah Winfrey that breasts move, but after the article in the New York Times yesterday, it looks like more women need to be reminded.

The latest figures show that “the number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed on youths 18 or younger more than tripled over a 10-year period, to 205,119 in 2007 from 59,890 in 1997.” That is an astronomical number!

I know I shouldn’t be surprised being I can name more than a few people who have been offered a pair of silicone implants wrapped in a red bow come graduation day, but that number really shocks me.

I understand that beauty and perfection have been something that women have constantly strived for and I also understand that cosmetic surgery has become more acceptible in our society. I mean, just turn on the television and I bet you can find at least three makeover shows on right this minute, and at least one re-run of Dr. 90210. Still, maybe we should be wondering why young girls are inceasingly begging and pleading for new noses, breasts, chins, teeth, ears, tummies and every other resize-able, reshape-able body part.
