Buy Or Don’t Buy

Duh. The movie was fantastic! It had everything needed for a great film. It had plot, great characters, some action and even some humor. My complaints? There were a few holes in there that were not big enough to take me out of the story, along with some similarities to the ending of Spiderman 2, [...]

This happens about every 4 years or so. There is a big push to get 18 - 25 year olds to go vote. P. Diddy tried it with his Vote or Die (which didn’t really work because Diddy was on his way out like a decade ago). Or how about when there was a push [...]

Disclaimer: This is not what AAA used to tow our car
To make a long story short, last night I was driving through downtown D.C. to pick up a friend from the airport when her car’s brakes failed.  As in, I could not stop the car.  (My reaction was, I’m told, similar to my reaction “when something [...]

Keepin’ it classy, ladies!

One of this week’s major headlines is the sale of Anheuser-Busch to Belgian beer company InBev. InBev currently produces Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, and my personal favorite, Staropramen. In this video from CNN.com, reporter Susan Roesgen poses the question, “Could the king of beers be knocked off the throne by a company headquartered [...]

This is going to sound really morbid, but, hey! Brooklyn’s hipster capital is finally regaining some of its lost street cred.

Because it’s Monday, and I’m tired, let’s talk about coffee. Here’s a brief history of coffee, as I know it.
