Several weeks ago, a young woman posted a picture of herself — appearing to be asleep — with this caption: “Lol bae caught me slippin. Love him. Good night from us.” Somehow, the young lady didn’t realize that the mirror behind her clearly showed her taking her own picture. There was no bae, no us. Just one woman, (unsuccessfully) creating the illusion of an endearing moment with a significant other. Her loneliness sent waves of laughter across the internet. Continue reading
Microsoft posted a new advertisement promoting Internet Explorer, and for any twenty-something growing up in the nineties, it’s an almost-sniffle-inducing trip down memory lane. Slap bracelets, ying yangs, pogs (what WERE those?), Hungry Hungry Hippos, Air Jordans, light up sneakers, Tamogotchis (why did you run away, little friend, every time?) and my personal favorite – the bowl hair cut. My brother rocked a bowl hair cut from about 5th to 10th grade. I’ll never forget the day when he changed to the “new” stylish haircut of the boy band inspired spikey gel look of the 2000’s.

Welcome to the pumpin’ iron edition of our song journey. Don’t worry, I am NOT posting “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Here are a few steely-sounding songs that are a little – ok, a lot – harder-edged for the weights crowd. As always, please post your own suggestions, especially if you like metal. This entire post WAS an excuse to post the Skinny Puppy video which, after you get past the chainsaw-like assault, is quite a very lovely pop dance song and I FLOVE it at the gym (but usually for the elliptical).

After releasing a teaser YouTube video a couple weeks ago called “I’m Ready”, Justin Timberlake, the In Time, and Yogi Bear actor, has returned to making music. Yesterday he released the video for his first single of his 20/20 album, “Suit and Tie.” Continue reading
We’re a month into the New Year, and most of us made a resolution to get back into shape this year. Maybe we can take a look at some icons of the video fitness industry and get some inspiration. Get your leotard and legwarmers out, put on some shitty dance music, and let’s grapevine our way into Where Are They Now: Let’s Get Physical edition. Continue reading
Tonight, we ride! Continue reading
Hey, everybody! So, we’re back with original recipe Project Runway, but with some changes! First, no Michael Kors. NO MICHAEL KORS. I don’t know what to do with this. No. Michael. Kors. No Queen Tangerine spouting things like, “Slutty, slutty, slutty!” Oh, well. We’ll move on. But this version is also an all-teams version, designed to extract MAXIMUM DRAMA. Lovely. Well, I’d say more, but I’m in a rush, darlings. At 8pm Eastern is the Road to the Runway introduction to all the designers and at 9 EST, the season begins. So join us in the comments as we drink and snarky our way through season 11! Continue reading
Well, anyone other than George Lucas directing the new Star Wars: Episode VII is a better choice than George Lucas shooting Jar Jar Binks into space again, but how do we feel about J.J. Abrams? More importantly how do we feel that Ben Affleck was in contention and Joss Whedon was never, ever going to do it, ever, it seems? NOOOOOOOOO! Continue reading
As of Sunday, retailers may start charging consumers a “checkout fee” when making purchases with a credit card. That’s right. For the privilege of paying with credit, your favorite shop may have the option of charging you for the convenience. Continue reading
Your friend, your cousin, your boss, your next-door-neighbor has just suffered one of the commonest calamities of life: being dumped. Do you say anything? And if so, what do you say?
As many times as you’ve heard and read and learned that “I’m sorry” is always okay and always welcome, it feels somehow inadequate. Well, here’s the thing, nothing you can say is truly adequate. That is why it can be so difficult to say anything at all. But we try, oh do we try. And often, we screw up. Continue reading
