I don’t shop in the so-called “prep” stores. This is for several reasons, but for the most part I just can’t afford it. I also prefer not having clothes that use their customers as walking billboards… umm, shouldn’t businesses pay people to advertise for them instead of the other way around? There is also the [...]

Oh what the hell, Academy!?
In recent history, the Academy has been… very disappointing with their ability to give awards to films that truly deserve it. It’s even worse when movies that deserve nominations are completely ignored. Case in point: The Dark Knight.

Whose idea was this?
I decided I needed to venture out of the house, and since my dad’s car wasn’t blocking mine for once; I figured I might as well take advantage of that.
