1. read shitty books. yes, reading DFW looks really good and makes your brain work and is very good for you but you know what else is fun sometimes? re-reading the collected works of lauren conrad.
2. develop a good relationship with your lady doctor. don’t be annoying. don’t call her with every pregnancy scare or bump on your lady parts. but get to know her....

My alma mater made it!
Of course, the school was founded by the Society of Friends AKA Quakers.
I’m annoyed that they didn’t mention relevant things like: Customs, the Honor Code, the Social Honor Code, the extremely non-competitive atmosphere (talking about grades is against the Honor Code), the fact that everyone eats in the same...

Dear Trader Joe,
icanseenewyorkcityfrommyhouse:
How is it possible for you to make a profit off of $0.99 whole wheat pizza dough (8 servings!) and $5.99 malbecs? Your business acumen and customer service skills are incredibly sexy. I can only imagine you to be as good looking and charming as you are profit-margin-savvy. Is there a Mrs. Trader Joe? Does she look the other way? Or is your life, your love and your...

Remember how in the 90s, teenagers used to get really intense about updating their AOL profiles and you could search for people from your high school or whatever? Isn’t it sort of funny that this is never mentioned as a Facebook predecessor?

Tough Love is actually a really positive show...
jgh:
But it’s still entertainingly trashy. AND it’s on VH1 no less.
Seriously, if you’re not watching, you’re missing out. It’s like a feminist consciousness-raising session and therapy rap under a Maury Povich veneer.
Agree. This is one trashy VH1 show I can feel sort of good about watching. (And I do, religiously. With my boyfriend.)
Getting back into strength training...
yoquieropancakes:
Here is the plan:
Mondays: 3 mile run / legs / abs
Tuesdays: 4-6 mile run (alternating every week) / chest / biceps
Wednesdays: speedwork (800 repeats or tempo runs)
Thursdays: 2-4 mile run (alternating every week) / shoulders / triceps
Fridays: rest
Saturdays: long run (6-10 miles) / abs
Sundays: 60 minutes of cross training
Ah - it always looks good on paper. We’ll...

Calling all actors in Michi
Hey kids,
If any of you are actors or aspiring actors in the Detroit area, my man is having a casting call on April 18th for an independent film he’s producing this summer (it’s a paid gig). Send me an email for more info.
That’s all.
Email from dad:
Subject: For Perez
Mom just figured out that she had her foot manicure two chairs away from KIm Cattrall!!!! She just told me that the woman near her looked exactly like that Sexy Sex in the City star— and, hey, guess what— she’s in Ann Arbor in the Hilary Swank film.

He was babysitting his nieces and nephews last night (I stopped by to bring him dinner) and here are some things he actually said:
“Oh, I forgot about the baby.” (Right after I walked in. He had put her in her crib with her JACKET, SHOES, and BIB on.)
“Yeah, that’s a good point, I didn’t realize it was bed time.” (At 9:30. Talking about the three and...

Thanks for all the nice thoughts and congratulations you guys, but I’ve got jokes for days!
Related: both my sister and my best friend called me like WTF I’LL KILL YOU IF THIS IS REAL
I totally copied Meg and put “pregnant” as my gchat status. That got a little bit of a rise out of people (and my boyfriend got a few emails). My favorite response was from my friend...

Who finds it incredibly amusing that Mary Rambin is asking Nutritionista for advice when Nutritionista was founded as an alternative to Mary’s unhealthy food-schemes?
Mary and I have actually emailed about this. After she found out that Nutritionista was snarking on her, I emailed her to say that I started the blog not to be snarky but because I’m extremely passionate about...

1. Don’t eat anything your great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food. “When you pick up that box of portable yogurt tubes, or eat something with 15 ingredients you can’t pronounce, ask yourself, “What are those things doing there?” Pollan says.
Saving your life.
Yes. By all means, please ignore the last 100 years of food science. Better...

Trust me, you want to meet the cast of Daisy of Love. I nearly died reading through all of their names. This is going to blow Bret & Flav out of the water. Holy shit.
I love that they play an ad for Abreva (cold sore medication) before this clip. Know your audience!
