Express train to fat town

The study serves as a warning that even brief periods of increased food consumption -- the first few weeks of college dorm life, a three-week cruise with its all-you-can-eat buffet, the string of parties from Thanksgiving through New Year's -- should be avoided.

Too late!

Bang vs. Blast

I die.

The Girl in the Window

I may have linked to this amazing article about a girl locked in a closet til age 7, found by authorities, and adopted. The author Lane DeGregory (a UVA alum!) just won a Pulitzer. It goes without saying that this piece is a one way ticket to tear town.

If you aren't crying yet, you can listen to this segment on Talk of the Nation about becoming a widow.

Someone should throw a Rites of Spring party to celebrate!

Thirsty

New drinks at Tar Pit. Bourbon drinks at Thirsty Crow. Beers at Burger Kitchen.

I want to go on Spring Break.

A postponed dream is just a dream

I fully support living the dream, but what if your dream is living in a van in Durham to save money while attending grad school at Duke?

Miley Cyrus

This is what happens when you spend a weekend being a college student in Nashville.

Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

One of my biggest regrets of the year is not going to this event last week, but I guess I can make up for it by purchasing the book.

Or the reissue of "Stop Making Sense"on Blu-Ray?????

My sister introduced me to this site. Large swaths of it are offensive, some are juvenile, some are still embarassingly relevent to my present-day existance.
