So long summer

|

Evenings cool and days shorten, finals and formals approach and everybody acts personally betrayed by the arrival of August.

Book: "The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs" by Irvine Welsh As the newest book from the guy who penned "Trainspotting," I don't really know what to expect, but "Bedroom Secrets" promises to be a fun, can't-put-it-down type of book.

Constructing Masculinity

|

We have weird ways of constructing masculinity on campus. It seems to involve drinking a lot of light beer, sometimes throwing things or chanting and having themed events that involve girls showing up better than naked (I'm looking at you, porn star tails). Now please don't get me wrong, but I think you are all pansies.

"This is going to be the best birthday party ever!" Boy in Novack putting candles on a Lou's cake Girl A: Do you think we can just walk into any frat? Girl B: I don't know, don't we look like we go here though? Girl A: I don't even know if I want to go.

Book: "John, Paul, George & Ben" by Lane Smith Ah! Do you remember Lane Smith, the guy who made "The Stinky Cheese Man"? (If you didn't read this as a child, you = big-time loser). His latest contribution to children's lit is the oh-so-clever "John, Paul, George and Ben" -- a parallel of America's founding fathers to the Beatles (Ben Franklin stands in for Ringo!) The illustrations are (of course) cute and hilarious, and the text is clever enough to cause chuckles from the most lit-snobby of jerkfaces.
