The 27 Best Boy Band B-sidez (LISTICLE)
I frosted my tips, rhinestone’d my tees, and got legitimately upset when the popular vote of TRL got the number one spot wrong by giving a NuMetal act the top prize–cue that blockhead Carson Daly quipping about doing it all for the Nookie.

Nashville’s Nashies’ Wish List For Season 3
I grew up in Chicago’s West Rogers Park neighborhood, which is predominately an Assyrian, Indian, and Jewish hood, so I didn’t grow up hearing a lot of Waylon, Patsy, or Chris Gains’ alter-ego–Garth Brooks.

Veggie Burgers:Russian Roulette Where Every Chamber IS Loaded
Bing defines a veggie burger as a hamburger-style patty that contains no animal flesh. And that’s it. So if you want to make your own, one must only adhere to that rudimentry principal.

My First Last Ditch Effort
In some junior high class–which had nary a thing to do with the Three R’s, during a grade where pre-teen boys wore basketball shorts during all of the temperatures–we hand-made dreamcatchers. My school wasn’t on a reservation, nor was it an artsy institution, it was just in a dull “let’s raise future adults who hide theirContinue reading “My First Last Ditch Effort”
