I’m Torn: Drugs

phelps_bong_potBefore anyone calls the police and I wind up on the next episode of Cops, let me clarify. When I say “drugs” I mean marijuana/weed/pot/green/reefer/hemp/buddha/herbage, or whatever else you want to call it. Lots of my friends, especially guys, have touted the effects of weed, and some even smoke it every day as a way to relax from a hard day of boring classes and crazy professors. I’ve never tried it, but lately I’ve wondered why not.

No, I’m not being peer pressured (my guy friends aren’t begging to give me their weed for free…they want it for themselves!); I’m just curious and I sorta want to see what all the fuss is about.

And, yes, I know it’s technically illegal, but we’ll just skip that part and look at it realistically, shall we? Since we’re normally all law-abiding, good college students who would never do anything wrong or illegal, obvi. (Like those 2.5 years in college where we were under 21….)

Love it
Or rather, my friends love it. They always tell me about how good they feel afterward, like “a balloon that has just been released to go float among the clouds.” (Yeah, he was already high. I didn’t really get it, either.) Some claim it even helps them work better, especially for creative writing papers and art class. It relieves stress, helps you sleep better, gives you confidence (for my shy guy friends to ask out girls), and just makes you happier in general. Read More »

G.W.W.E.: Bill “Hot Stuff” Hader

bhaderWe’re back with another edition of G.W.W.E. (Guys We Wanna Eff)!

I’m a big SNL fan, and while my love for cast member Andy Samberg is well-known, I’ve got to pay homage to my other main funnyman, Bill Hader.

The cutie from Oklahoma hit it big on the weekly sketch comedy and has made memorable performances as half of the Same-Sex Couple From New Jersey (“ayooo!”) and former New  York Governor Eliot Spitzer (you know, the one with the hooker problem), among others. But no matter what role he’s playing, you can’t disguise his tall, lean frame and that wry, wide grin.

However, Bill crossed the line from cute to sexy in (one of my all-time favorites) Superbad as half of McLovin’s policeman posse. It was the first time I had seen Bill in a breakout film role (since then, he’s appeared in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Pineapple Express) and, well, there’s just something about that police uniform that is irresistibly effable.  And “bona-fide badass,” as he says.

So as Bill continues his run on SNL, I’ll keep hoping  I get to eff him live from New York one Saturday night. Or Friday, if that works. Or Wednesday…

CC’s Pineapple Express Giveaway!

51sfpgcnjzl_ss500_.jpgSeth Rogan and Judd Apatow have done it again. Pineapple Express is funktabulous. A satirical throwback to old 80’s action movies, Pineapple Express is pretty damn smart for a weed film, and there’s just something about Rogan’s laugh that makes me want to laugh too. Plus, James Franco is the hot pothead of my dreams.

Because we here at CC love good music just as much as we love an Apatow film, we’ve got 4 Pineapple Express soundtrack CD’s to give away today! Usually, I’m not the biggest fan of soundtracks, but any compilation with Huey Lewis & The News, Public Enemy, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Robert Palmer HAS to be good.

If you want one, all you gotta do is comment on this post. It’s that simple. Funny comments are always good, but really, don’t stress yourself out (I mean, that would sort of go against the chill vibe of movie). At the end of the day we’ll pick 4 lucky winners!

You go, girl old lady!

Sure, you have 1,235 friends on FB, but are you internet famous?

I am afraid to go to sleep now. For real.

Hillary, give it up already. You lost. Pack up the pride and just walk away.

The Five Sweetest Summertimey Things!

bucks.jpgSummer is not coming to a close! Do not listen to your television blaring “back to school” commercials at you! Keep on loving the sun and living the summertime life. Here are my five favorite things about summer – the good, the bad and the sweaty.

1. Venti Starbucks Iced Passion Tea Lemonade (with two pumps of melon):

If you haven’t tried this drink, walk… no, RUN, to your nearest Starbucks. Don’t worry; if you live in America it will probably be no further than a block away. This drink is the greatest non alcoholic summer beverage I’ve consumed. I’ve even attempted to make it the greatest alcoholic beverage I’ve consumed. Do not mix with vodka! Not good. Anyway, it’s sweet, tangy, caffeine free and most importantly, it’s pink.

The bad?: Friends mock you for embarrassingly long and girly drink order and local Starbucks staff start knowing you as “Two Pump Melon Girl.”

2. Rainbow flip flops

Obvious summertime staple! These go with everything and flip flops are the only shoe of choice for the summer. I have a beach pair, which are completely destroyed and a nice pair, which are on their way to being completely destroyed. Can wear these to class, bars and the gym. But only to the gym if you plan on just walking around observing, in lieu of legit exercise. My kind of gym shoes! Read More »
