(500) Days of Gwen Stacy →
I haven’t been following The Amazing Spider Man stuff very much. So, I’m just now learning that Marc Webb directed it. I can’t wait for Peter and Gwen to go hang out in Ikea for a day!

Follow Friday: "Banned by the Bible" →
I never knew Leviticus disallowed so many things. Here’s a sample:
Burning any yeast or honey in offerings to God (2:11)
Failing to include salt in offerings to God (2:13)
Eating fat (3:17)
Eating blood (3:17)
Failing to testify against any wrongdoing you’ve witnessed (5:1)
Failing to testify against any wrongdoing you’ve been told about (5:1)
Touching an unclean animal (5:2)

A Social Network of 5
Google Plus has allowed me realize the moderate dreams I had of using Path. I credit the redesigned app for this. Do a bunch of random people I vaguely met once comment on my posts? Nope. Is there a strange core group that keeps it an interesting place to take in content and opinions? Yep.
Yet, Google Plus has proved more interesting than Path. I follow many brands and news sites in a...

My Comatose Social Contingency Plan
A post by Parker recently inspired me to create an action-items list for my social media accounts if I were to become suddenly incapacitated for an extended period of time. So, internet friends, here is what I want to happen if I am incapacitated and my name is printed somewhere that would inspire Google searches.
Lock down my twitter account. Make it private. No need to delete my inane posts...

In Memorium, Community 2009-2012
I’m currently writing this the way Dan Harmon would have wanted it, and yeah, we’re all bummed, but let’s talk about the finale on Thursday that seems to be overshadowed by Sony and NBC’s skullduggery.
Those final moments were the closest TV has gotten to the last minute of the Friday Night Light finale “Always”* which itself was the closest network TV has...

The Community Drinking Game To Drown Your Sorrows
As you might have heard Sony (not NBC, NBC doesn’t own the show*) fired Dan Harmon off Community, which means the end of Community as we know it and probably the start of some half-assed 9th Season of Scrubs-like fourth season at worst, and a “Eh, it’s enjoyable to hang out with these people, I guess, but remember the first three seasons, man?” fourth season. So,...

The NorCal Margarita
The NorCal Margarita is a magical drink. The liberal use of lime juice is the main culprit here. It’s also a tasty way to enjoy drinks without spiking you glycemic index.
2–3 shots of 100% agave tequila.
Juice and pulp from one lime.
Stir, don’t shake, it all up and add some ice.
Top with soda water to taste.
It’s quite the manly marg, isn’t it? No, but really, try...

From the Stage Hands the Brought You Gossip Girl
The best part about watching the teasers for all these ABC pilots is how many times “from the __________ of Gossip Girl” has show up so far. Because, you know, that’s a draw.
666 Park: “The new Lost… from Alloy Entertainment and the minds behind Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars.” ‘Nuff said. Real take away: remember the attractive sibling from...

So, Smash is getting a show-runner from Gossip...
This news is the best news about next season that took me a month to see. The fit is quite perfect once you let the first season of Smash sink in all the way.
Gossip Girl is a show about people you don’t really care about doing things you don’t really care about. You’re told to like them and that they are important—but, you don’t and they aren’t. It is a show best...

Frank on the Gossip Girl season finale.
This show is garbage. And in complete honesty, I haven’t seen the last two or so episodes.
Bart Bass is back? I mean, I kind of expected this like at the end of season three, four tops, so when he didn’t come back, I just figured he was actually dead (because I’m a moron because I’ve seen waaaaay too much of this show). And he’s back as a completely horrible person?...

Do Yourself a TV Favor.
Watch NBC every Monday.
Make a large, alcoholic drink.
Drink every time your cringe.
Suddenly, once 10PM comes around, you’ll think Smash is AMAZING.

A Guide to Hangovers
The best approach to ridding yourself of a hangover is certainly to not get one. You can accomplish this with a few pro-tips:
Eat healthy foods before you begin drinking.
Do the usual dance of alternating drinks with water. Order a water with every drink and don’t get another drink until the water is gone.
Before you go to bed, take a time-release B-Complex supplement.
If you forgot to...

How Did Happy Endings Become My Favorite Show?
Overview
Is this my new favorite because of 30 Rock’s ever-increasing cartoonish-ness? Probably not. I love cartoons. Maybe Parks and Rec just isn’t as funny? Again, no, this is maybe the funniest season of Parks and Rec yet. Is it because I’ve somehow began to loathe how uninteresting How I Met Your Mother has become? Maybe a little—ok, a lot.
It has to do with the...

Support Christian Porn! →
Welcome to the home of the Christian Porn movement. Our mission is to clean up that which is currently known as “pornographic” videos, movies, or films. All filmed sexual acts in the Christian Porn genre are genuine intentions to create life, performed by heterosexual married Christian couples. As acts of procreation they are not immoral, illicit, or dirty, but expressions of love...

The Gossip
I haven’t been watching Gossip Girl as much as I used to. Sure, I’ll get caught up eventually. It’s just that I think it might have been let to go past its experation date. I’ve moved on to fresher shows that go well with a vodka tonic and hefty doses of digital mockery—I mean, have you seen The Secret Circle? That stuff is epic.

Fine Cuisine from Foreign Places (Part 1)
Today, we’re going to take a magical (imaginary) journey to the furthest corner of the world. Oooh, chilly. No, darling, it’s Chile! But it is freezing here, so it works. We’re in Punta Arenas, Chile in the 12th district, also known as the Magallanic Region.
I know what you’re thinking: “WE PASSED THE WINE REGION! TURN AROUND, TURN AROUND!” It’s okay,...

On Gossip Girl
I’ve been trying to sum up my feelings on the show since I went through all 101 episodes in about a month (and usually what comes up first is “I went through all the episodes in about a month. What the fuck am I doing with my life? Of this show? I haven’t even finished The West Wing yet.”), and I’m still trying to pin it down.
One of the things that are great about...

Frank on Gossip Girl →
Frank is tackling Gossip Girl head on. I’m not sure, but I think he may have injured Serena van der Horribleperson.
Frank here: I’m currently in the middle of writing a long post where I equate Chuck and Blair to Han and Leia in Star Wars (and not in a good way) because I have lost whatever last bit of sanity I have left.

Vaguely Political: Republicans, you're doing this...
It ok be, GOPers. You no cry.
As a life-long pinko-commie-liberal, I’ve had a lot of heartache in my day. I stayed up all night long as a lowly 11 year old in 2000 waiting for Al Gore to be declared president. I latched on to the Ent and the Hair in 2004 hoping for some relief from George W. Bush. None of that happened.
That being said, I now know a ton about losing properly. Do you...

Vaguely Music: A Semi-serious Review of Joe...
Did you know that the Jonas Brothers broke up? Me neither. They may be on hiatus, or whatever, but the oldest one is married and the youngest had a side project (or so my 8 year old sister tells me), which left poor Joe in the cold. But being the talented singer/tambourine player that he is, Joe figured that his adoring fans would follow him in his journey to Solotown, just like we did with Justin...

Vaguely Television: Current TV, Al Gore's Public...
“I love Current TV.” This was a phrase I said a ton from about 2006 to very recently. When the network abandoned their heavy focus on user created content a few years ago, it began to consistently fall further and further down my list of most-viewed TV. I still tuned in for info_Mania, a show created by the creator of the Daily Show, and a few Vanguard documentaries—besides this,...

Fast & Loose: Smoke Squeening →

Smokers get a lot of flack and I don’t know why. While cruising profiles on Okcupid! I noticed people specifically stating that they aren’t willing to date a smoker. This is absurd. People who smoke make the best partners, and here’s why:
They are always needing to go out for cigarettes….

How To Catch Wild Pigs A Lesson In Socialism (The...
The office manager at my student worker job likes to read chain emails out loud in the final minutes before she goes home. ENJOY!
You can catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods where wild pigs frequent and placing an adequate amount of corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence...

Locking up that last room in the (M)SLC, I found a paper that truly makes me wonder who looks at the UGA applicants. Here’s to you, Amanda B. from Dr. Hamilton’s History 2112 M/W 9:05AM class!
