Loading ...I don’t know about you, but when Outkast released their double album Speakerboxx/The Love Below back in 2003, I was convinced it was the hottest album of the year. Everywhere I turned, I was hearing one of the tracks – and that was fine with me. I loved them then and I love […]

Comments (1) I Want To Adopt This Girl (and her dog)
March 21, 2008 - 2:30 pm
I love dogs. When I see a dog across the street or around the corner, I try to cross the street or take a shortcut so I can pet it and play with it. Nothing gives me the everything-will-be-okay feeling more than a wet nose, a big doggy grin, and a wagging tail.
I […]

Comments (1) My Personal Weight-Loss Journey: Day 22
March 20, 2008 - 5:30 pm
You guys have probably noticed that my usual, semi-prompt weekly entry is a little late. Papers on top of thesis proposals on top of research is never fun. Still, despite all that, there’s a pretty important factor that has lead to my lack of writing;
I am f*cking exhausted.
Now, I’ve been able to handle […]

Comments (6) Have We Lost Will Smith To Scientology? (What IS Scientology, Anyway?)
March 19, 2008 - 1:30 pm
“Xenu, according to Scientology founder (and speculative fiction writer) L. Ron Hubbard, was the dictator of the “Galactic Confederacy” who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of his people to Earth in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. Scientology holds that their essences remained, and that they form around […]

Comments (7) You Know How Your Back Hurts? Yeah, You’re Faking It.
March 18, 2008 - 4:30 pm
Now, I’m usually pretty skeptical about any news I see on the Daily Mail. It’s kind of like the internet’s version of the NY Post. The articles have some basis, usually, but they’re stretched like that last little bit of ice cream in a mostly empty pint container. Still, when I saw […]

Comments (2) How to NOT Go Crazy From School.
March 15, 2008 - 7:00 pm
This is supposed to be my Spring Break. I wasn’t going anywhere warm and tropical, no, but I came home, and I was excited to spend the time just lazing around. I missed doing boring things, like laying around all day with my pets and watching music videos or Animal Planet. I […]

March 13, 2008 - 5:02 pm
First of all, I want to thank you guys for your unending support. I never suspected that I’d get such amazing responses to me just trying to improve my life. I think it’s great that I’m helping so many girls while you guys are helping me out, too. I read all of […]

Comments (6) Unheard Voices: Sexual Assault on the Subway
March 8, 2008 - 12:30 pm
Public transportation is probably one of the best and worst things about big cities. It can usually be pretty reliable, but when it isn’t, it really isn’t. And let’s not forget the dismal conditions that stations, buses, and trains can be in. But despite the downfalls, it’s one of the best methods […]

Comments (1) My Personal Weight-Loss Journey: Day 07
March 5, 2008 - 5:30 pm
I’ve decided that the person that came up with the saying “easier said than done” must have been dieting at the time. This, easily, is one of the most difficult things I’ve done. I’m realizing slowly but surely that I can’t just eat healthily and everything’ll be fine; I need a total lifestyle […]

Comments (12) Ellen Page + Lesbians + Werewolves = Curious, Skeptical, and (still) Unfunded.
March 4, 2008 - 1:30 pm
In the recent wake of Juno, there’s a pretty emphatic highlight on young actresses like Ellen Page. Seems like everyone wants to hop on the bandwagon, and why not? It’s about time that the younger females in our current day and age have someone actually noteworthy to look up to, not to mention […]
