Can’t stop listening to “I’m Straight” by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers. And I’m really digging this homemade vid someone posted on YouTube.
So the weekend starts tonight. All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?

Every night the last thing I do before going to bed is set my alarm clock. I’m a chronic snoozer, so after I set the clock radio, I put three alarms on my phone. And every night it puts me in a bad mood.
You see, to get to the alarm, I have to select [...]

This Christmas, I got a killer pair of Opening Ceremony hiking boots. Once I finally broke those babies in, I was totally bummed to realize I have no idea how to style them. With the recent wintry weather, wearing substantial boots are a must, but what can I do with these babies? Wear them with [...]

Over at VanityFair.com, Dee Dee Myers asks: Is Obama the Most Famous Living Person Ever?
To put it quite simply: No way!
To elaborate on that: Not even close. The view from your ivory tower must be nice if you really believe that Barack Obama is the most famous person in the world.
Now you may recall that [...]
McP just passed along what might be the best article in NY Times History: “No Snickering: That Road Sign Means Something Else.” Gotta love those Brits.
While I love Wetwang, Titty Ho, Crotch Crescent and Tumbledown Dick, the UK certainly isn’t the only place with throughly inappropriate place names. Let’s look at PA shall we?

So many reports have been filed — 312 last year alone — that the local community college hosted a conference today, and Bucks County will be featured on the Discovery Channel series UFOs Over Earth.
Now what [...]
What a day! I ran around town like a total madman and also had the pleasure of interviewing the one-and-only Ms. Whitney Port, star of MTV’s The City.
Now I know I shouldn’t go all blabbity blab around town (you’ll have to wait for the 2/17 issue for the deets), but I will say one thing. [...]

My boy Jay just pointed out new blog I Bang the Worst Dudes (Sorry Mom).
The site lets ladies put bad hookups on blast, with anonymous photos and horror stories. It’s hilarious, even if it is a little Mean Girls, but what really has me worried is the fact that I can ID a lot [...]
