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.

Process of isolation often inspires great art

Published Nov 22, 2010

Dedication to the art of music is demonstrated to perfection in the form of indie folk band Bon Iver. Their album, titled "For Emma, Forever Ago," was based on inspiration found by lead singer Justin Vernon during a period in which he isolated himself in remote woods in Wisconsin.

The alleged purpose of this isolation was to recover from personal issues and agonies, including, but not limited to, breaking up with a girlfriend and a former band. Whether or not you enjoy their music, it is impossible not to admire dedication like that.
