I don’t know how many times I’ve griped about the girls down the hall who pump heinous music at the most inconvenient times of the day, but we’ve all had a go of annoying neighbor syndrome.

So much so in fact, that one particularly skeeved neighbor decided to start a website about it.

Rottenneighbor.com is a site that blacklists bad music-blasters, stilletto-wearing tap dancers, drunken hall-pukers, and don’t-give-a-damn landlords.

It’s actually kind of genius, if you think about it. When hunting for a new place, you get to see the bathroom, the kitchen, the bedroom, but you’ll never get see through walls.

How do you really know what you’re getting yourself into?

RottenNeighbor makes sure you won’t drop big bucks on a dream apartment that turns quickly into a nightmare via your first run-in with the crazies next door.

You can also check out the super situation, which is ideal to someone like me, who spent a summer in the city getting completely ignored about my faulty stove and the flying cockroaches. Read More »

I bet your roommate sucks. Don’t worry, I understand. I have a twin sister and therefore have had to share living quarters with another girl for my entire life.

It’s cool and all when you’re six years old, and sharing space meant sharing Barbies, but once you hit 18 and it’s time for college…you’re probably going to want your roommate out during playtime.

You’ve probably already set up your dorm room, but there’s always a chance it could be set up better,with more of your own space, and with something we all desperately need.

No f*cking drama.

First things first:

No bunk beds. I know, I know, they save space and all that, but top bunk is only cool at summer camp. Plus with your roommate’s bed literally attached to yours you might as well be attached at the hip too. And can I just remind everyone that there’s nothing sexy (or mysterious) about climbing into a top bunk with a guy you’re hoping to bone.

Just trust me. Read More »

If reading all about the personal lives of Lauren, Heidi, Spencer, Whitney, and whoever else thinks appearing on The Hills is a smart career move hasn’t been enough for you these last few months, you can stop wondering what they’ve been up to on August 13th!

Is Lauren really not talking to Heidi? Is Whitney’s job really a job? Does Spencer really love Heidi or did he brainwash her? How’s it going with Lauren and her brand new best friend/roommate?

MTV has you covered, so spend the rest of your precious summer vacation following the lives of these people.

I won’t judge.

I’ve always been better friends with guys. I don’t know if it’s because I grew up with three brothers, or what, but I always seem to get along with them better.

Girls to me are just vicious. Sometimes it’s hard for me to deal with the constant talking behind each other’s backs, the judgment passed on everything from hairstyles to clothing—I need to retreat back to my boys and take a deep breath.

This doesn’t mean that I don’t have those same mean girl tendencies, or that I don’t have close girl friends. I will definitely make fun of someone’s outfit that I find…outrageous. But I think the biggest clue that a girl is a bitch is when she doesn’t have any girl friends—she’s obviously screwed over a lot of people, or has screwed a lot of people’s boyfriends. Read More »

Last night’s episode of Entourage was great, because things are starting to look up for the fellas. For a while, it was becoming a Debbie Downer and I was getting annoyed to say the least. That show is meant to be happy. After all, it comes on right after The Sopranos, right? Not exactly a Sunday night pick-me-up.

Not only was it entertaining, but the show provided some great lessons for all of us.

Let’s start with Turtle, who has finally found lurve. The only thing is, her father is scary and super protective, so they both have to sneak around. She’s definitely making Turtle work for her affection – making him take off his hat at lunch and making him reveal his actual name? Get it, girl. This is a good lesson for all girls – if a guy is into you, he will do whatever it takes to win your heart…either that, or just get you into bed. Read More »

Last night, as I went through my post-Cinco de Mayo hangover process, my margarita-filled weekend came to an end with another episode of Entourage. In between refilling my glass of ice water and ten minute intervals between bathroom trips, I learned that things are definitely getting exciting with the boys.

After a day at the horse races, Drama falls in love with one of the horses, and although his particular horse failed to take first place, he falls in love with it and buys it off of the trainer in fear the horse will be taken to the glue factory. Hmmm…in love with a horse? That reminds me….Just kidding.

The horse is hauled back to the casa and ends up running out the gates. Definitely too much responsibility for these guys. Drama gives the horse away as a gift to his TV director, Ed Burns, whose daughter is more than happy to take the horse off his hands. Whatever! I love animals, but if someone dropped off a horse on my front lawn and said, “Look what I bought! It’s for YOU!” I would be pretty pissed to say the least. But I don’t even have a front lawn, so I guess I have nothing to worry about. Read More »

Last night’s Entourage was a good one! The writers cleverly have Ari redeem himself after disappointing the fellas one too many times, by saving his lovable assistant, Lloyd, from what could have been a sticky situation. Literally. (Ew) The episode is all about the art of convincing.

While E and Vince plan a “couples” weekend to Napa, Turtle and Drama decide to score some chicks at the dog park. Clever, boys! They spend the day trying desperately to get laid by two girls, but when their dogs get in a fight, all the girls do is worry about their mangled pooch. Turtle and Drama are unsuccessful. No wonder these two are always kissing Vince’s ass – they need him around!

E’s girlfriend, Sloan, decides she wants her man all to herself for the weekend, and to prove that he isn’t whipped by Vince, E spends the day trying desperately to break the news to Vince that Nappa isn’t gonna happen in the “couples” sense. Besides, Vince can’t even find a date. What?!? Ummmm….he never called me…. Read More »

I have a lot of friends that – unlike perfect little me – have some flaws. One of my friends is a huge slut. Another of my friends is impossible to argue with. Yet, they are my best friends so I look past their minor flaws and enjoy them for the amazing friends/wing women/shopping partners a girl can ask for.

I suppose I feel the same way about the people over at MTV.

My love for The Hills is so deep that, just like with my skanky friend, I will look past the blatantly obvious and totally unrealistic moments and dive into the deep depths of drama that fill the 30 minute (actually, 12 minutes after the extended MTV commercial breaks) episodes each week.

This week was no different. Despite the fact that:

a) Heidi decided to move in with Spencer, packed all her shit, rented a U-Haul and settled in with her man all in one day

b) Audrina decided to move in with LC, packed all her shit, unpacked most of her shit and settled in with Lauren and a pizza and champagne dinner all in one day

c) We caught a perfect reflection of Heidi in the side view mirror of the UHaul as she dramatically pulled away from the Villas with her (douche-baggy) man – I still loved every. last. second. Read More »
