I tuned in to watch the end of the USA v. Canada gold medal hockey game, and while Canada technically won the gold medal, USA totally kicked ass in the Olympic sport of Hot Beards. And hot dudes in general. And hot dudes named Ryan. (Seriously. Like 11 of them are named Ryan.) I present [...]

take a look at me nooooooow.
Hey guys! Remember me? I’m Mallory, and I sometimes blog here. It’s been a while, I know. But don’t worry, between the Catholic guilt (it is Lent, after all), and harassment from “fans” like Scott and Mike, I feel PLENTY bad about not writing. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, SCOTT AND MIKE? Since it’s been two [...]

i’m in love with your cheeks.
Happy Valentine’s Day, kiddies! Here is how you should celebrate: be thankful for someone you love, and eat chocolate. Here is how you should NOT celebrate: by seeing Valentine’s Day, the movie. Seriously. It was that bad. And don’t be grumpy if you don’t have a sweetheart. That’s too clichéd, and it’s silly. Someone loves you [...]

let’s just call it beard friday.
Whelp, DC is back to work after a four-day (!) run of snow days. Luckily, I’m a lowly student/part-time employee so it’s just another lazy Friday for me. In theory, it’s not supposed to be lazy. Not at all. But there was…well…a lot of wine last night, and then the walking in the snow this [...]

the saints win the super bowl.
I’ve never been the kind of person to pretend to be into sports that I’m not really into. While I was something of a tomboy as a child and played about every sport available to me, there aren’t teams that I follow religiously or extra channels I order to ensure that I can watch every [...]

snowpocalypse, snowmageddon, snowverraction, SNOW MY GOD!
Call it what you wanna call it: DC loves to fah-reeeak out over its snowstorms. Don’t get me wrong; this is a photo I just took from my balcony, and that IS a lot of snow: But people are acting as though it’s Y2K all over again. The grocery stores are out of eggs, the [...]

my favorite thing about valentine’s day…
It’s almost Valentine’s Day and that can only mean ONE thing. Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman’s Kay Jeweler commercials are back! Please, find me one person who watches this commerical and DOESN’T think about Jane Seymour as the motor boatee in Wedding Crashers. Here it is: now try not to think of this: Happy Friday, everyone! [...]

superbowl ads going conservative this year?
If you are like me, you watch the Superbowl to eat unlimited snack foods, drink some beers and watch the commercials. I may pay attention for the first quarter or so, but then I eat, drink and socialize until the commercials come back on. And it’s glorious. This year, it looks like CBS may be [...]

do not pass go! stop cheating!
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Monopoly, the world’s most monotonous and dragged out board game, Hasbro has decided to punish us all by taking away the only thing that made it interesting … the cheating. Goodbye dear, sweet, corrupt banker. Hello micro chip and credit cards! No, I am not making that up. According [...]

today is a google holiday, hooray!
Google Holiday: Norman Rockwell’s Birthday. Our buddy Norman would have been 116 today, assuming I’m capable of doing math this early. You, of course, know Rockwell from such famous works as these: Rockwell is about as iconic as you can get here in America, and I found it sort of sad to read (on Wikipedia, [...]
