Hoist The Banner

My best friend’s wedding is in three weekends (am I the only who says, “my best friend’s wedding” and immediately have mental images of a deranged Julia Roberts trying to destroy a simply fabulous wedding? Just wondering), and there is quite a tizzy about dates.
The last time I had to worry about a date was [...]

And For The Little Samantha Jones

I am one to critique about child-rearing.
I don’t have a child, nor do I plan on having one anytime soon.
My interaction with kids is limited to making faces at them in the supermarket, playing with my cousins until they either want mommy or need a diaper change, and teaching them the pine cone trick.

What A Rat

A new study is out today and apparently, Rico Suave is now a statistic.
Listening to WFAN this morning, the fellas were talking about a new study from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces that shows women are more attracted to bad boys than good boys. Researchers differ on whether it is the physiology [...]

Atomic Wedgies

Some high schooler from Brooklyn got into 18 selective schools this year, including seven Ivy League schools.
Very impressive. Not only is the kid an apparent genius (have you seen the 2008 acceptance rates? They are out of control), but I can’t comprehend the required stamina to fill out 18 applications. It’s been [...]

Thank you, Jezebel ladies

You just made my Monday.
A fighting Illini has legally changed his name to…In God We Trust. In God is his first name and We Trust is his last name. In God We Trust is the United States’ motto, so is this guy now our official mascot?
This story has so many awesome tidbits, it’s [...]

Rats With Wings

Listening to NPR this morning, I learned that today is National Pigeon Day. Immediate reaction: you have to be kidding me.
Pigeons. The dirty little things that run around the city, carry disease, and poop everywhere, they get their own day?
Obviously, I Googled said day, and the history behind the day is actually really [...]

Summertime Blues

Vacations are becoming antiques. As Steven Greenhouse writes in this Slate article, fewer and fewer Americans are taking vacations because even if they stop, work never does.
I understand that being in a global economy means that people are constantly communicating with each other. But if we’re all connected, how can Europeans afford 38-28 [...]

Would Dr. Spock Approve?

Oh, baby names. I love going through baby name books whenever my cousins are pregnant, how they squirm when I tell them they should go with Pilot Inspektor.
But China takes the cake with baby names! I thought I had it tough as a kid, knowing so many other Kates, but imagine if 3,999 [...]

Skunked Again

That video about a guy losing it in his office? It was a viral marketing ploy.
Besides, it’s usually better when people lose it over an inanimate object that has no feelings, those are the really crazies.

This is my flare

Somebody had a severe case of the Mondays.
