The Bachelor Season 19: Women Tell All Recap

For longtime fans of The Bachelor, the anticipation for tonight’s Women Tell All episode has been building since the cast of crazy, beautiful women first stepped out of the limos. There was no shortage of entertainment in the forms of drama, romance, and straight up craziness thanks to the Ashleys, Jillian’s black box, Kelsey’s “amazing story,” and Jade’s dicey pictures. Somehow, despite knowing this would be a wild one, I didn’t prepare for the tears, the shouting, and the finger pointing to commence immediately. Poor Chris Harrison; even a seasoned expertRead More

Become A Maniac, Change Your Life

By the time you read this I’ll be 29, probably. One last year of my 20s. It’s settling on me like the realization that five compartments were flooding settled on Thomas Andrews, my 20s will be over. I will become 30… I wished that I had developed a better vision for what I wanted my life to be like when I was 30. If I had I probably wouldn’t be broke & living in my parents’ house in west Michigan. Maybe not majoring in Philosophy would’ve helped too. But thisRead More
Forgive me if my recap this week isn’t entertaining or correct. Despite the group finally leaving America and heading to Bali, it was the most boring episode ever, and I was completely zoned out for a majority of this dreadfulness. I should have just watched The Voice tonight. #regret Let’s start off with something exciting: this picture that surfaced of Bachelor Chris with Sandy Kenyon of Eye-Witness News and Taxi TV.   Kaitlyn  Chris and Kaitlyn walked around in a temple where they couldn’t kiss and balanced baskets on theirRead More

7 Things to Expect at the Oscars

Being the movie junkie that I am, I always find the Oscars particularly enjoyable, so much so that I am able to overcome the smug ass-kissing film and television stars cannot help roll around in these days. (Did anyone do a count on how many times Lorne Michaels was name-dropped at the SNL 40th Anniversary celebration last weekend?) Regardless, there has been plenty of buzz around this year’s Academy Awards presentation, which will undoubtedly yield some fairly predictable elements. 1. NPH greatness Let’s face it, Ellen Degeneres’ hosting gig wasRead More

6 Movies That Are Better Than “American Sniper”

In just a few hours, the movie industry’s biggest night will once again sweep onto our television sets to inform us which films of the past year were indeed the best cinema had to offer. We the movie-going public can’t possibly be left to decide on our own. If we were, we’d just pick Maleficent for Best Picture and Robert Downey Jr. for Best Actor (does anyone even remember what he was in last year?). In any case, thank God for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and theirRead More
While we all eagerly wait for Jesus to once again pop up from the dead (and doesn’t he take his sweet time), like the most anticipated pop tart that a hungry morning ever saw, our Catholic mothers have been reminding us for ages (or maybe just a week) to decide the Thing we will give up for Lent. This Thing is something of great importance, as we will all publicly post about it in order to be held accountable. With this sacrifice, there is a great chasm between what mother/JesusRead More

An Introvert’s Guide to a Party

If I didn’t have people I loved and I wasn’t an indentured servant to my student loans, the chances are high that I would be a full-fledged hermit woman by now. All I would need is a good cave, a good book, and maybe some Hot Cheetos. Still, somehow, when I receive a social invitation, my first instinct is to say yes. It’s only hours before the event that I realize I’ve made a huge mistake. For fellow introverts, here is my humble hermit advice:   Under-Promise and Over-Deliver TheRead More

Hometown Dates: The Bachelor Season 19, Episode 8

We pick up right where we left off last night— Britt’s meltdown and the impending rose ceremony. But first- a date with Becca that maybe never even had a date card. They talk on a couch in a loft and hold hands awkwardly. Becca has never been in love; never even had a serious relationship. Then they go to the roof and watch the sun set over Iowa. The end. As Kaitlyn (already in possession of a rose), Britt, Becca, Carly, Jade, and Whitney prepare for the cocktail party andRead More

Small Town Livin: The Bachelor Season 19, Episode 7

Sunday night was a rough one for anyone with indecision or varied interests. NBA All-Star game, SNL 40th anniversary episode, The Walking Dead, and, of course, The Bachelor, which started off with Chris Tells All and closed out with a regular episode. Sunday was part of a two-night special with hometown dates airing Monday night. This episode, more than any other, gave me the feeling that Chris could marry and end up happy with one of the women in the house. It also gave us a glimpse into life on theRead More

Valentine’s Day Motivation Speech

People love to hate on Valentine’s Day.  But why?  It’s just a stupid holiday created by Hallmark, right? Maybe.  Maybe not.  Let’s not take it so personally.  Quite frankly, “Singles Awareness Day” is getting old.  I’m over it.  She’s over it.  He’s over it.  Yes, I am aware that singles outnumber married people in America, but can we just call it “Saturday”?  Or, like, “Wear Something Sexy and Eat Chocolate Day”?   And besides, are any of us really alone?  Grab your best girlfriends and toast to singledom!  Dear single, youRead More
For Valentines Day, I’m sure you’re all going out to a fancy dinner with your loved ones, significant others, flames, or f*ck buddies. However, since Valentines Day falls on a Saturday this year, I imagine your plans for the evening will also include a little bit of “love potions,” if you will. So instead of picking up a box of Franzia or heading to a dive bar, why don’t you wow your sweetie with some unique homemade cocktails? Here are some exciting new Valentines-inspired cocktails from Crown Royal and PieholeRead More

-Alexis Krauss- Instagram: kraussingaround Known for: Being the lead singer of New York indie-pop band Sleigh Bells. -Maybe I just have a weak spot for girls with musical talent, but Alexis Krauss is this week’s featured lady, due to her great looks and great music alike.

Grammy Weekend 2015: A Victory For Music

Recently I was approached by a teenager who had seen me editing my music in the library. This is how our interaction went down: Kid: “Whoa, are you a DJ?!” Me: “No, I’m a guitarist.” Kid: “Oh…” (walks away). My oh my how times are a changin’. Dylan is still right. That’s why this past weekend was refreshing. Between the Grammy’s and MusiCares awards, we saw a renewed appreciation for actual musicians.   MusiCares An annual event honoring the lifetime achievement of the greatest musicians in history wouldn’t be completeRead More
