Sorry, but I don’t really like sports (or feigning interest in them to get a guy’s attention). If a guy likes football more than me, I’d rather he have football. I can’t relate.
There are instances, though, when sports and love collide, and I have to put my game face on and pretend like I […]

Style Blogs to Fill Your Days
I have been a devotee of The Sartorialist for some time now, but this NYC street style blog can be a little high-winded sometime. Not that I don’t appreciate the fit and look of a fine Italian suit on a distinguished European gentleman, but I’ve scoped out some more relevant style blogs for you […]
I Slept With My Friend…
Last night, to escape the tranquillized waters of the suburbs (see my previous post on Suburban Summer Survival), my friend Alec invited me to make the 45 minute drive to the nearest city to hang out at his apartment and bar - hop. I jumped in my mom’s Honda before he could promise me free […]
Graduated and Engaged?
One of my good friends finished college. Three cheers for her, I say! Way to get it done in four years.
Last night, though, this same good friend also got engaged to her boyfriend of two years. Um. Congratulations?
Yeah, yeah, so they’re in love, whatever. I get it.
I was in love once. I never actually talked […]

College Rankings: Do We Really Care?
I pored over the U.S. News and World Report’s college rankings when I was a senior in high school. How far up could I go, I wondered? What was the most-highly ranked college I could get into?
I mean, I knew I was Harvard-caliber, I just didn’t have the grades– I was above grades! I could […]
What Will Happen to Your Facebook When You Die?
Sometimes I look up dead people on Facebook. Not, say, Thomas Edison or Washington Irving or George Washington Carver. If they had Facebook, I wouldn’t be here– but that’s a different story.
But maybe I’m watching the six o’clock news and there’s a story on how Randy Rappelstein, a junior at Rutgers, crashed his RAV-4 into […]
What Your Cell Phone Says About You
For the longest time, I was a cell phone dissident. But then I got one and realized the euphoria that comes with sending and receiving text messages. So, whatever. Cell phones are fine by me.
But it’s all the different types of cell phones that flummox me. Your choice of cell phone (or your compulsory, […]
