He’s a bit bigger than Sydney, but he is all IG, and really pretty. We are glad to give a [...]

When I was in college (undergrad), my roommate Dennis was a vegetarian, and being extremely health conscious at the time, I thought that it might be an interesting option for myself, and so I decided to give being a vegetarian a try. I ended up lasting about two years before I had meat (I was [...]
5SF: november 21
Published by November 21st, 2008 in all about me, britney n' k-fed, five song friday, music musings, music suggestion and near and dear. 5 CommentsIt was hard not to post any of the leaked tracks from Britney’s upcoming album, Circus this week, because frankly, it is quite good. She has really worked hard this time around, and it really shows; I see big things for her in the near future. However, since it isn’t technically out yet, I don’t [...]

Published by September 26th, 2008 in five song friday, listen up!, mixed media, music musings, music suggestion and near and dear. 6 CommentsI’ll start with a newsworthy item: the big news today in pop was the premiere of Britney’s new single Womanizer; yes I have heard it, and yes, it is really quite good.
