7am: The Slumber Fuck it, I’m not going to work. I’ll just call in sick. I have sick days, right? They’ll understand even though I’m taking two days off for the holidays. Fuck it then, I’ll just come in late. I’ll turn off my alarm and just sleep until my body wakes me up and then go to work. 9am: The Wakeup Okay, this isn’t so bad, you can do this. It’s only 8 hours. 8 hours and then you can body-slam into bed and pass out for eternity. Yeah,Read More
*Spoilers Ahead*   First off, I want to say that I love Game of Thrones. I have an unhealthy obsession with the show, the books, everything. Even this episode has some good moments. Seriously, watch it. But…. let’s face it, the episode Breaker of Chains sucked because….   1. HBO loves unnecessary nudity. Literally every episode so far has been screaming “Hey! Look at Oberyn! He likes men and women! See, he has orgies!!” Alright, we’ve seen him seducing everyone in sight now for several episodes. He’s bisexual and proud. Got it. Can weRead More

MCM: JC Salter

-J.C. Salter- Facebook: Fan Page Here. Known For: Modeling, body building, and a body that just keeps getting better. J.C. Salter is my crush for this Monday, and ladies, that man is simply stunning. He’s a corn-fed Iowa boy, but I guarantee he didn’t spend much time in the fields. I think it may be the fact he has a body that may have just been sculpted by the perfection itself, or the fact he has eyes I could stare into for hours. Either way, I’m in love. He recently participatedRead More
We all have a “type” we go for – like you see them from across the bar and you’re like “DAMN! I don’t know your name but excuse me miss/sir/non-gender-specific pronoun, I saw you from across the room…and I’ve got to admit that you’ve got my attention. You’re makin’ me wanna say yo!’”   For me, if I spot a dark-skinned fella (and I mean dark, like Akon, the midnight sky, dark) with saggy jeans, an earring, and a flat-brimmed hat with the stickers left on, OH IT IS ON. This is noRead More
Don’t judge me for being on OKCupid because I know you’re probably thinking of how to describe yourself in three words at this very exact moment. I mean, I guess much like the “10 Internet Articles” article, if you begin to notice patterns in the online pickup lines you’re getting, maybe it’s time to go on a real date. Or maybe it’s just time to compile those pickup lines into a list that you then proceed to post on the internet. I don’t know. Do you, bbys. 1. The HolidayRead More
Sensory deprivation tanks are old, but newly-popular items used to deprive oneself of sensory stimuli for the purposes of relaxation, stress relief, extra-sensory perception, or enhanced creativity. They are lightproof, soundproof tanks filled with extremely buoyant saltwater that is kept at exactly skin temperature. When one floats in one of these tanks for an extended period, he is supposed to be relieved of all light, sound, and tactile feeling, and experience relaxation and bliss. If you live in a city/town that has an “up and coming” district where hip, affluent,Read More

A Few Weeks in the Gym

I don’t like the gym. Call me crazy, but I would rather spend all day wandering a trail in the backcountry than run on a rotating belt while staring at a wall. Unfortunately, shit happens (read: stress fractures) and I grind it out on the elliptical and lift heavy things. The last 6-8 weeks have been eye opening into the world of stair-masters and bro tanks. Here are a few observations and recommendations when hitting the gym…   TO THE LADIES: I don’t trust girls with skinny arms. Blame itRead More

#MCM: Trevor Donovan

-Trevor Donovan- Twitter: @TrevDon Instagram: trevordonovan Known for: Playing Teddy in 90210. My crush for this Monday is the handsome, and absolutely delectable Trevor Donovan. I came across this delicious morsel on a website with him in nothing but boxing gloves, and red silk shorts. Not only is he easy on the eyes, but apparently he stripped down for animals. Yes please. Mr. Donovan was raising money  for the charity ‘Helping Homeless Animals,’ a privately run, non-profit, “no kill” animal shelter. So not only is he amazingly delicious and hasRead More
Despite the boyhood day dreams of jumping out of airplanes shaped like sandboxes and sniping terrorists in my backyard with broom sticks, I had little actual inclination to join the military.  I went through a brief period in high school where I wanted to be a Navy SEAL because I thought it was cool to have a goal that others could not achieve, but in reality, and like most people I’ve met, joining the military was more of a plan C or D than anything else.  Of course, soon afterRead More
I started listening to rap when I started going out in college, and that was what they played at frat parties. (Never mind that at the time I thought “Lazers” and “I’m on a Boat” counted as real rap, but I’ve come a long way since then…I hope). Sometimes, as an extremely naive white girl, it’s hard to be into rap. I try to identify as much as I can, but once ScHoolboy Q starts talking about things like “selling crack” and “having a daughter,” he loses me. Cue theRead More
I love the internet (who doesn’t?). The internet and I are together literally all the time, and the internet makes me happy. There’s nothing I love more than when the internet surprises me at work with puppies, lunch, and other distractions (we’re in a committed relationship, ok?). But sometimes my happy-go-lucky procrastination-induced browsing is interrupted by certain headlines that are more offensive than Hitler and a Yo Momma joke all rolled into one. Protip: if you’re noticing patterns and trends emerging in internet articles, that’s how you know you needRead More

#WCW: Lili Simmons

-Lili Simmons- Twitter: @Liliflower33 Instagram: liliflower33 Known for: Starring in Banshee on Cinemax; being a sexy seductress in HBO’s True Detective. -Okay, so I recently binged the whole first season of HBO’s incredible series, True Detective, and let me say – the show’s sexy women are worth the price of admission, even if you don’t like the show itself (which is impossible, the entire series is AMAZING). So, all week long I’ve been debating which gorgeous girl from True Detective to feature here: Alexandra Daddario, Lili Simmons, or the wild card, Erin Moriarty.Read More

#MCM: David Robertson

  -David Robertson- Twitter: @DRob30 Known for: Being the New York Yankees new closer. -What better way than to appreciate baseball season than appreciating a sexy dude? While your boyfriend watches the games, you can just stare at the studs. One such stud is Yankees’ closing pitcher David Robertson. David recently got married, and has an adorable little girl, but he still gives you ladies plenty of reason to watch all nine innings! Follow him on Twitter, but first, see more photos below!      Read More

In Defense of Trigger Warnings

As of Monday, The LA Times published an article condemning a resolution passed by the UC-Santa Barbara Academic Senate intended to ensure that students would receive notice of “triggering” content before it appears in a classroom. The title of this article is “Warning: College students, this editorial may upset you.”   …I am upset. Upset at the victim-blaming that this perpetrates. Upset at the lack of sympathy for our fellow humans who have undergone traumatic events. Upset at the manner in which the writer dismisses the need for trigger warningsRead More
