Drunkorexia poses a serious problem

Published Nov 22, 2010

It's a Friday and you ask your friends to go grab a bite to eat before getting ready for the party that night. However your friend refuse. Why is this? Everyone knows you have to eat before drinking to prevent yourself from getting totally wasted and to avoid alcohol poisoning.

The same pattern repeats every weekend until you notice a trend: People are not eating the day they plan to go out to reduce the calorie intake and to help them get drunk faster, a new trend known as "drunkorexia."

"Due Date" has mixed results

“Due Date” has mixed results

Published Nov 22, 2010

A lot of you could say you've been on a road trip, but I think considerably fewer would say they couldn't stand the people they were going with.

One of the main characters in the road trip in "Due Date" is an effeminate, bumbling fool with a bulldog. That would be Zach Galifianakis' character, Ethan Tremblay, who is basically a reprise of Alan from "The Hangover," an homage to a much better comedy.

Mutual dislike of BCS should unite Frogs, Broncos fans

Published Nov 18, 2010

One of the first memories I have of the year 2007 was celebrating what I thought was the failure and imminent collapse of the Bowl Championship Series. A team from Boise, Idaho, had beaten the University of Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, 43-42, with what was probably the best play call I've ever seen.

At my high school, after the game, everyone was talking about how great the Boise State Broncos were, and I happily joined in singing the Broncos' praises. Conversations about the team continued when I arrived at TCU, but in a markedly different tone.

Smart phone use creating a potential social discomfort

Published Nov 18, 2010

These days, I sometimes feel like my mind is being pulled in a million directions by a million separate threads 8212; most likely due to my smart phone. With iPhones and other devices rather pervasive throughout the market, people's minds are being pulled in more and more directions by the multitude of things these phones can do.
