The Project Runway Rundown: Missing Tulle is the Least of Kenley’s ProblemsPosted by: justd in college
And tonight it seems the pressure has finally gotten to Jerell. The dude hit the crazy wall and kept on running. I mean he was talking to fruit and syrup. And he wore a shirt so low that I kept seeing his nips. And that straw hat? What is with him and the hats? Is he channeling Justin Bobby? But Jerell isn’t the only one goin’ batsh*t insane; it seems that I may be going crazy myself. For a brief moment I actually felt bad for Kenley. No, not because she left her tulle or because her dress looked like something that was more appropriate for the Drag Challenge; I felt bad cuz the girl is an outsider (and I always feel bad for outsiders!). The poor girl grew up on a tugboat. It’s not her fault she’s a disrespectful and arrogant bitch; whom has she ever interacted with besides a bunch of seamen? But don’t worry; as soon as that biatch started talkin’ sh*t about the other designers I turned off my feelings and moved on. She sucks and I couldn’t wait to see what the judges thought of her scaley stripper dress. (more…)
I am no economist so I can’t tell you exactly what is gonna happen next, but it looks like we won’t have to stock up on the canned goods for now! So get out there and celebrate the fact that the stock market isn’t crashing, your student loans are still available and all that money you have in the bank is safe for another keg.

Leading Hotels Do-Over Postponed [Leading Hotels Of The World]Posted by: justd in consumerist
If you release 5-star hotel rooms around the world for $19.28, don’t be surprised when half the internet shows up.

John McCain said Tuesday that George W. Bush should spend $1 trillion of your tax money to buy up those ‘bad’ mortgages WITHOUT Congressional permission. Yes. He’s encouraging W. (of all people) to spend $1 trillion without permission folks! He said it 3 times on Tuesday, apparently. Click here to watch the video. There’s still that separation of powers, keep dictatorship in check thing in our country, right? Wonder what sorts of things McCain would try do WITHOUT permission should he be elected. Scary!

Anyways, eating in the dining commons at my school was my least favorite option and I imagined it to be the same for every campus, until I came across an article on Yahoo about the Top 20 Rankings for Best College Food and became insanely jealous of these delicious treats. At Wheaton College, ranked number one in this survey, Klaud Mandl, the General Manager of Food Services at Wheaton, who previously worked at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston, has a menu of Belgian chocolate homemade truffles, lavender-infused pork chops with onion gravy, and cumin-lime baked chicken with avocado cream sauce. Are you serious?!?! Homemade Belgian truffles??? The closest thing we got to that at my school was a help-yourself ice cream machine with watered down frozen yogurt. (more…)

Talk to you NEVER: Paris Hilton’s ‘My New BFF’ is Just as Bad as You ThinkPosted by: justd in college
The things certain people will do to be friends with this hotel heiress are both pathetic and inherently watchable. In the premiere episode, Paris gave her flying monkeys a head-to-toe makeover. Three of the contestants refused to do it and I was torn between yelling “Paris told you to do it, so DO IT!” and “You go girl! And Boy! Stick your guns!” In the end, it was between I-refuse-to-change-my-hair Michelle and I-wanna-go-home Kiki. Paris ended up giving Michelle the dreaded TTYN (”talk to you never”) as Kiki stormed off mumbling “Fake bitches”, leaving the rest of the girls looking rather confused. Guess people will do anything for their 15 minutes.
At which point he asked me if he could borrow a book while he “dealt with all the dairy” he had just eaten. True story. And it ended right there; I never called him again. I have no problem with talking about farts and poop, but I do have a problem doing so on date #1. I just don’t understand why guys feel the need to bring up the bowels when we haven’t even locked lips yet. And then there is the whole double standard; why can he fart in the car and lock the windows but I can’t even mention the fact that I poop without him cringing and curling up in the fetal position? I asked my guy friends to break it all down for me - apparently farting is a sign of endearment. Read on… (more…)
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention an estimated 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to occur among women in the US during 2008; about 1,990 new cases are expected in men. Aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the U.S., and is the second most common cause of death among white, black, Asian, and American Indian women. It is the leading cause of death from cancer in Hispanic women. While most college women don’t need to worry about developing breast cancer at such a young age (we won’t face the invasion of mammograms until our 40s), there’s still plenty we can and should do to protect ourselves. A major study released in 2006 indicated that the number of new cases of breast cancer dropped significantly in the reporting period of 2002 to 2003. After 20 years of increases, this is incredibly exciting news and most likely directly correlates to new methods of early detection and prevention. (more…) |

I never really thought about it before, but being a member of any reality show for an extended period has to make you go crazy. All that competition, all those cameras, all that drama…
It’s official, kids. The
Don’t bother getting up early tomorrow to submit your 
I don’t know about your college, but the food at UMass is well, not the most scrumptious. The salad bar got old after the first week (of freshman year) and I swear the food is mixed with laxatives; I can never keep anything down (TMI, I know, my B).
‘Paris Hilton’s My New BFF‘ premiered last night on MTV and I think I lost some serious brain cells after watching it. …Though I have to admit, it was mildly entertaining.
I went out with a guy once. On our first date we went to dinner, and things were going so well that when he took me home I invited him in.
October is the time to think pink as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicks off today.
