Buy Or Don’t Buy

American Apparel in semi-recent months (aka the past 2 years) has become popular. Thier overpriced basically plain cotton and spandex clothing have been dubbed “hipster”, therefore making them cool and desirable.
So with that classification, why this:

Ekk. So cool = pregnancy? Since when does tight clothes help with pregnancy. I don’t want to see it. These [...]

Another day another bailout. The banks, mortgage companies, Detroit (all of it?), and now the MTA.
“Teabaggers,” (people that seem to be pretty well off) are complaining that they don’t want to be taxed anymore then they already are! If you ask me that takes some balls. Also, forcing your kids to protest with you holding [...]

Apparently Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) has been doing the Twitter thing for a while now.  I must admit, I was previously influenced by my interpretation of his personal brand as America’s Zany Prankster Bro, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the topics he Tweets about! He’s a big proponent of Social Media, and has actually been doing some fun [...]

Ok, so I drink a lot of bottled water.  Sorry guys.  I know it’s supposed to be really selfish or whatever, but that’s a personal branding choice I’m willing to make.  I get thirsty!
Anyway, I’m not sure how I feel about this advance in packaged water design.  On one hand, I can’t really picture myself [...]

Back in November, this chart from the sci-fi blog io9 caused a stir in economics- and zombie-loving circles. It purported to show an uptick in the number of zombie movies produced in times of economic or social unrest. As the creators said:

Normally, the Sunday Style section is where you’ll find the occasional New York Times trend piece that suggests the paper’s staff was raised entirely in a bubble of North Face and granola, but yesterday (a Wednesday!) one such piece appeared. That story was “Yoga With Your Dog“:

In Chicago, Kristyn Caliendo does forward-bends with a Jack [...]

One of my favorite things about April 1, (besides the fact that it is my wonderful mother’s birthday,) is that you can’t trust any news you read. In the past, news organizations have convinced their readers that the Swiss were having a fertile spaghetti harvest, that the island of San Serriffe would be a great [...]

I’m talking about those television shows and movies that were totally “rad” back in the day that had explosives and a lack of plot. It’s already been rumored that the A-Team might be made ironically as a frat-bro comedy. But today’s post is focusing on MacGyver.
While half the nation cringed as MacGruber, a MacGyver-like character, [...]

The 2004 German film Downfall [Der Untergang] was an unflinching look at Hitler’s final days that sparked a national debate in its home country over of its humanizing depiction of the Fuhrer. You’ve probably seen it - or at least, you’ve probably seen clips of it. For in the United States one scene from the [...]

“…one nation, UNDER GOD, with liberty and justice for all”
So, my family used to be Catholic, right? Every Sunday it was a huge struggle to wrangle the entire family into their Sunday best and make the march up the street to St. Stephens. Such a struggle, that apparently sometimes my dad wouldn’t even [...]
