It’s been a rough week. Not only did we realize that we’ve suddenly got mountains of reading to do, but we also found out that drinking more doesn’t actually cure a hangover. We’ve also got swine flue worries, toxic friends, and the Kanye West-Joe Wilson battle for Biggest Douche of the Year to deal with.

Most ridiculously of all, Vh1 is trying to convince us that Miley Cyrus is a diva. Come on, guys! Divas don’t sing songs with titles like “Party in the USA” or have a close, personal relationship with Mickey Mouse. No offense, Miley.

There are a few bright spots on the horizon, though. As always, Fashion Week provided us with some grade-A escapism. Whether you’re knocking boots with a special someone or saving up your v-card, we had you covered. (One piece of advice for all the virgins out there—when you do decide to lose it, head over to Washington, D.C. You’re welcome.)

Best of all? If you can prove how much you love College Candy, you might just win a snazzy new laptop. Seriously!

So cheer up, everybody. It’s Friday! Throw on a pair of camouflaged sweat pants, breathe a sigh of relief, and go out and make some bad decisions this weekend. It’s all uphill from here.

Today is Good Friday.

I’m not sure what makes it more good than any other Friday (which are always good in my book), but that is what the calendar says, so I’m goin’ with it. In honor of the goodness of today, I decided to make this Friday extra special and do everything to make sure it was good: I ate a donut for breakfast (good), I put real cream instead of skim milk in my coffee (good), I never got out of my PJs (good), and I’m hoping to watch the entire first season of The Hills on DVD (very good).

What about you?

This week our writers weighed in on what makes a Good Friday for them. Besides the mere fact that it’s Friday, of course. Helloooo, weekend! Read More »

The weekend is finally here!  After five long, tiring days of work, school, and fixing all of your friends’ problems, Saturday and Sundare are here to save you.

What better way to kick off your two days of freedom than by going to see some new movies?  You may have caught the previews for some of these, but all of them are out today…

Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist — If you loved Juno, you’ll like this movie

Beverly Hills Chihuahua — This is for all the animal lovers out there

How To lose Friends and Alienate People — Possibly your life, in a movie starring Kristin Dunst

An American Carol — A spoof on Michael Moore and his fims. Pure satire comedy!

Flash of Genius — A Man Against Machine docudrama

Blindness — Blindness is contagious

Rachael Getting Married — Family drama and a wedding, what more can you ask for?

I wouldn’t be the movie buff that I am without saying my pick of the week, and sorry to tell you, it’s not Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, even though I am looking forward to seeing it. My pick is Blindness. This movie is so close to real life it’s scary, and it doesn’t hurt that Dr. Christina Yang from Grey’s Anatomy is in it.

So there you have it, the new releases for this week!  Now go grab your significant other, the one you’re hooking up with, or your best friends, and enjoy a movie tonight.

Hey everyone! It’s Friday! It’s gonna be such a great day! I can feel it! I’d like to give a special shout out to the crazy guy I met this morning as I walked into work with the rest of the herd of New Yorkers! You were really cool, Crazy Guy! You shouted “F*CK” as loud as you possibly could behind me, and after jumping out of my skin, I made the silly mistake of looking back — just in case you were a person who had fallen and was in need of help.

But guess what? You didn’t need help! You hadn’t fallen! You were just crazy! And because I looked back, you decided to take your special brand of insane and run up to my ear and scream “F*CK” again as loud as humanly possible. I mean, I have never heard someone yell that loud before – in my ear no less! I thought I was going to have a heart attack and go deaf!

So special shout out to you, Crazy Insane F*ck Shouting guy! You really made my morning, and even made me spill my Dunkin Donuts coffee all over my leg in sheer terrified surprise. LOVE!

With football season well underway, I bet I can guess how a lot of your Saturdays pan out:

7 a.m.: Wake up. Still drunk from the bar last night? Mayyyybe.

9 a.m.: Arrive at the football stadium; crack your first beer.

9 a.m.-Noon: Tailgate your face off. Tailgating activities may or may not include: Beer pong, funneling, shotgunning, and general raging.

Noon: Kickoff. You’re highly buzzed, but still careful not to spill your overpriced stadium beer as you shake your foam finger at the other team.

7 p.m.: You pass out. Hey, it was a long day, man.

Now that’s what I call a waste of a Saturday night. I know that rallying for almost 12 hours straight can take its toll. Especially when you’re running on a few hours of sleep after a killer Friday night. But if you pace yourself, and plan your evening effectively, there’s no reason that you can’t take in both the football game and a killer kegger (or two). Read More »

Today is September 19th, and you know what that means:

It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Avast me hearties! We realize that most people don’t know how to talk like a pirate (that is the one college class they don’t offer…yet…), so we thought it was important to teach you some of the more basic terms to get you through the day; the words and phrases you would hear most. And since today also happens to be a Friday, we thought incorperating those pirate phrase basics into pickup lines for the bar would be ideal. Lord knows some drunk boys are gonna use these.

So, courtesy of TalkLikeAPirate.com (yes, that is a real site), we bring you:

10 Pick Up Lines for Guys on Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Comedian Bernie Mac died early this morning (Saturday) at a Chicago hospital from complications from pneumonia.

Mac had been in the hospital for about a week prior, dealing with complications from sarcoidosis, “a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in tissue, most often in the lungs”.

In addition to starring in “Bernie Mac Show” on Fox, Mac had spots in the cult classic “Friday”, the “Oceans” franchise, and most recently, “Transformers”. He also had a long stand-up career, highlighed in “The Original Kings of Comedy.”

We had grand plans for this post. We had the outline all written out and everything, but then life happened. One of us had to get ready for a BSB concert (Back Street’s Back, ALRIGHT!!!), and the other one had to start picking out her wardrobe and dreading her hair for a Sunday music festival known as All Points West. But we couldn’t just leave the 5:30 slot blank.

So you get this:
