The Emancipation of Paris
Wow, time really does fly when you’re having fun! I feel like it was just yesterday that Paris H. was arrested for drunk driving, thrown in jail, taken out of jail and put on house arrest, put back in jail, wrote an apology letter at the level of a third – grader, and decided to declare herself a changed woman to NBC Larry King for a paltry sum of $1 million.
So much can happen in 23 days!
And now, …
Hate Your Grade? Take Your School to Court!
I remember that one exam I bombed.
Sauntering into the huge lecture room with confidence, I grabbed myself a blue book and 15-page questionnaire and found a seat. I had only spent a few hours studying the night before, but it was fine, because I was taking the class Pass/Fail, and had already secured enough good grades to keep me in the Pass range, no matter how I did on the final. Plus, it was Ancient Greek. Who does well …
The iPhone Countdown: 4 days!
Being an Apple fanatic and all, it’s essential that I mention this Friday marks the debut of Mac’s first ever iPhone. In typical Mac fashion, the iPhone is expected to break boundaries by bringing smart phones into the mainstream market.
What’s so freakin’ special about the iPhone, you ask?
Basically, it’s every piece of technology you’ve ever owned or dreamed of owning rolled into one.
It comes standard with every basic phone feature you can imagine (speaker phone, call waiting, …
There’s Something Stupid About Mary
Cameron Diaz is an idiot.
Over the weekend, she went to Machu Picchu in Peru’s Andes to make a TV appearance celebrating the culture in Peru. She was looking cute and travel-ready, in teal jogging pants, a violet scarf and a creme hat – very paparazzi-ready. But she failed to take into account that her bag would cause major controversy overseas, creating a fashion blunder gone really, really bad.
She carried one of those super trendy, canvas messenger bags …
Save Your Cell Phone… Stick it in Rice???
Preparing for a first date is a stressful time. During the primping and pre-pimping process, the last thing we need before going on a hot date is trouble with our technological gadgets.
The toilet bowl is #1 killer of cell phones today, and being that before a date, we spend a lot of time in the bathroom, it doesn’t make for a good combination. I know so many people who have lost their phones due to unwanted trips down the …
America’s Best Colleges…Supposedly.
Earlier this year, USNews.com published their list of America’s Best Colleges 2007. Truth be told, I’m not sure how much I trust these rankings, ever since the earlier reports of them being completely skewed came out.
But, it is still interesting to check out the list and see if your school made it on. The top three national universities, not surprisingly, were Princeton, Harvard, and Yale. My dear little Syracuse made the list at #52! Sorry, …
Raise Your Voice
Admit it — you’ve used your best baby voice to get what you want. The baby voice is a lethal weapon.
When used on family members, it conjures images of you as a helpless young one that they cannot resist bending to.
For everyone else, it’s creepy and annoying and they comply to whatever your sugar – throated wishes are just so you’ll shut up.
According to some recent reports on jezebel.com, salon.com, and in The Washington Post, the baby …
Online Anonymity is Dead???
The internet was the enabler behind most of my middle school drama.
The enigmatic anonymity that the web provides was a big green light for mean teenagers to harass other mean teenagers without the consequences of face-to-face confrontations. And it was this online shield that facilitated the worst culprit behind my pubescent angst: the fake screenname.
Fake screennames were the best way to tear your enemy (or popular best friend) apart incognito. You could lash out ruthlessly, ruin lives and …
The New (& Improved?) Croc Shoe
I remember going into a store once, contemplating the purchase of a pair of Crocs.
All I remember is taking a look at the sheer brightness of the neon orange rubber and thinking, “Will I actually wear these things after one day?”
No. Probably not.
Yes, they’re comfy, they’re quirky and they’ve got that whole hippie vibe goin’ on, but…they’re ugly.
And being that, if I was gonna do it, I was gonna do it right – with an …
Poor College Students get Experimented On…a lot.
If you’re like me, college has put a severe dent in your wallet. So much of a dent, it seems like the day you’ll finally pay back all those loans will be the day you check yourself in a retirement home.
When it comes to finding ways to make cash, my motto is “anything except prostitution and drugs” (I’d even strip, but sadly, I dance like a blind five-year-old and would most likely kill myself in five inch heels). I’ve …
