So, the PNC revealed the latest indicators today about just how bad our economy is doing post-subprime mortgage crisis. The costs of the 12 Days of Christmas this year: $78,100 That’s up 4% from last year, which was only $75,122. Mind you, you’re buying some of the items repeatedly (ie. a partridge in a pear [...]
Why do I love Thanksgiving so much? Maybe it has to do with the fact that you get a break from school and chill with a bunch of people and just eat, drink and have a good time. There’s really no gift exchange obligation involved. There’s inevitably leftovers and shopping. Movies are watched and sleep [...]
I really hate that feeling where it is so cold that, when you finally warm up, your skin is completely on fire. Good grief. So, I spent my entire Sunday was spent watching Quidditch. Not just any Quidditch, mind you, but the Intercollegiate Quidditch World Cup, Middlebury v. Vassar. My initial reaction to this fact [...]
I totally panicked when I woke up at 8:30 this morning and though I’d all but slept through Anthropology. Then I rememered…oh yeah! It’s fall break! Last night was a totally chill potluck dinner down at Weybridge followed by an intense session of catching up on all Office, Grey’s and Gossip Girl episodes missed in [...]
The more I think about it, the more I realize that the race for president is like one big, fuzzy AA group, a place where candidates go around and make admissions to make people love them and criticize their fellow candidates to make themselves feel better.

Anyway, my point is that, through researching the genre, I am convinced that we are living in [...]
I usually don’t tell jokes. (I rely on my impeccable wit and incisive cynicism.) But I particularly like this one. So, St. Peter wants to go on vacation and he’s asking God for advice. “What do you think about outer space,” St. Peter asks. “Mmm,” replies God as he shrugs his shoulders. “It’s all right, [...]
I think that if there was a theme for last week, it is coffee. An American study found this past week that coffee helps reduce the risk of skin cancer. (I like to read outside.) A Japanese study found that coffee helps reduce colon cancer. (I’m sure when I’m 60, I’ll appreciate that.) And another [...]
Gilmore Girls is officially over. It was a very pleasant and resolved ending. (I mean, come on, Rory’s working for Obama. How could it be more perfect?) But I seriously think that while watching the episode I was the most emotional I’ve been since my mom dropped me off at Middlebury. Oh man. How am [...]
Don’t read into it; just go with it. Movies my life is: – When Harry Met Sally – Meet the Parents – 10 Things I Hate about You – Sideways – Wizard of Oz – The Grinch Movies my life will be: My Best Friend’s Wedding – The Station Agent – Anger Management [...]
