Stay Together for the Kids: A cat owner's guide to...
Like any other single, eligible girl with top-notch gentleman suitors lining up to court her, I have two cats. Mind you, these are not your typical cats. The first, and eldest, at approximately six years, is Vinnie. Vinnie is a tabby domestic short hair who weighs in at a solid 15 pounds (down from his original 18) and enjoys playing in the empty bathtub, sunbathing on the sofa, and scratching...

They Lost Power Before It Was Cool to Lose Power:...

These pills are anti-anxiety pills. I take them sparingly, at times when I am particularly overwhelmed, like when I’m cramming for a huge final or when people tell me that Daniel Radcliffe is, in fact, not gay. (I will...
All the Good Ones Are Gay: Why equality is keeping...
I like to think of Daniel Radcliffe as my perfect man. He’s a talented actor not only on film, but has furthered himself in his craft by jumping feet first onto the Broadway stage after learning to sing and dance. At the ripe age of 21, we are under a year apart in age, and also approximately an inch apart in height. Though he was introduced to the world as ‘The Boy Who Lived’...
