TV. Food. Pop Culture.
In one of the more disturbing articles of recent memory (or at least since I woke up this morning), the New York Times revealed that mercury levels are “cray cray high” in raw tuna sampled from twenty different Manhattan eateries. Okay, maybe they didn’t say “cray cray,” but they did use the equally alarmist phrase, …

This one is really sad. Well, they’re all sad, but this death seems particularly tragic. Heath Ledger, 28, was found dead in “a possible drug-related death” today in Manhattan. This makes him the second actor in the past week to die young (after Brad Renfro). I feel bad for his kid. • Heath Ledger Found …

I’m still pulling for No Country for Old Men over There Will Be Blood (which was totally snubbed in the Original Score department). I’m …

Last week, I took a stand on behalf of Facebook users and announced which applications should unceremoniously die.

While the game seems like nothing but a fun diversion …

Recently, my friend Nhan rented out a restaurant for her birthday, and to make the occasion extra special, she added a theme: prom. Well, who wouldn’t like that — aside from Christian on Project Runway? My friends and I happily poured ourselves into the appropriate outfits, which in this case meant tuxes for the gents and …
