Memo: Men, the following are not acceptable:
Ed Hardy (or Christian Audi-whatever, anything he creates)
Affliction or anything with rhinestone crosses, skulls or floral rose designs
Smet (wtf?)
True Religion jeans
Note: This applies in all situations and becomes even worse on a red carpet. Ladies, this goes for you too. Obviously.

Not above taking handouts
I may bitch about my family a lot but they’re pretty great sometimes too, especially my mom who is, without prompting, reimbursing me for the past three months of exorbitant condo fees because she feels bad that I was unemployed for so long.
We’ll just pretend that I was actively looking for a job this whole time.
Bonus: This also means more money for the wine fund, and that I should...

Starbucks needs to tap the unemployed market.

Some ideas:
“Bum Juice” A fiesty blend of what drips off of all the used espresso and coffee grounds for 15 cents a cup, or all the belly button lint you can dig out.
“Low Self-Esteamed Milk” Because, really, you don’t deserve coffee.
“Johnny Come Latte” It’s fresher, costs less and is way more eager to do the job than you were.
“Bitter n’ Burnt” Drink how you...

Some of the most fascinating cultural signifiers are those which we see frequently and assume to have some meaning yet have no clue about what that meaning might be.* This sounds vague but I’ll explain what I mean. The signifier is usually something like a hairstyle, jacket, type of piercing, general mien, color of purse or style of speaking.
Example: Lately I have spotted lots of...

Cringe
Lurking on high school classmates’ facebook pages and it turns out one of them has a tumblr. And on the second page of that tumblr, he gives Axe bodywash a rave review, describing the product itself as incredible and its smell as “amazing”.
Uh, yeah.
Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink
I have to many clothes. I know this becaue I can regularly piece together outfits that leave even close friends wondering if what I’m wearing is new, or just seldom worn.
Yet, I can’t decide what I’m going to wear to Peaches tonight. The Starlite is always ridiculously hot, so layering is pretty much out, and I don’t want to check my coat because I’m pretty sure the...
Forensics: Canada can't claim Mad Trapper →
In 1932, Albert Johnson, as he was also known, sparked a six-week territory-wide manhunt after shooting a police officer. He was eventually shot and killed and was later buried in an Aklavik grave.
[Forensic anthropologist Lynne Bell of Simon Fraser University] measured oxygen isotope levels from a sample of the trapper’s tooth enamel and determined they weren’t consistent with water...

I finally bothered addressing my haters on the Double X but I know the purists among you will want to read the unabridged version:
Linda Hirshman is a celebrated author, lawyer and philosophy professor. Lizz Winstead is a comedian and political satirist who co-founded the infallible Daily Show. I am a financial journalist who a few years ago was driven by financial necessity into the...
Vindicated
B: You look great, did you lose weight?
Nico: Probably, I think not having access to kilos of candy anymore has been beneficial
B: Yeah [our old job] was shit for the amount of crap I thought would be a good idea to put in my mouth
Nico: I also cut out most sugar
B: You're not on some weird psycho diet are you?
Nico: No, it's not like when E was going through her disordered eating phase
B: That was the worst. I felt guilty even eating around her. I felt like she was silently judging me.
Nico: She probably was. The funniest thing ever was when she found out those alleged low everything salsa fresca burritos she ate actually had 3x the fat and calories listed
B: I feel bad even laughing about this, but it was kind of like vindication
Nico: It took a lot for me to not laugh in her face when she told me. She was legit traumatised.

I always forget that my primary bank account is based in EST until it’s after 10 MST and I want to transfer money and subsequently use it immediately.
All I want is a spicy chicken sandwich/the new Frosty abomination from Wendy’s, but it’s not happening until after midnight local time.
I never carry cash, so that’s out. For some reason this Wendy’s doesn’t...

…life that I can never get back perusing a [Hometown] acquaintance’s most recent Facebook photo album, and I just have one thing to say: I have no apologies whatsoever for the elitist blast that is about to spring forth from this keyboard. Hometown dudes who peaked in high school: Shave that shit off your face. Cut your hair. Cut it off. I mean, all of it: the neck beard, the...
Another good thing about having a job*
I no longer have to feel guilty about shopping/spending money in general. Which is convenient because the J.Crew summer sale starts today.
*I was technically just underemployed for three months, I had a part time gig that I worked two days a week for a total of ten hours. Meaning that I worked less in a month than I had previously in a week.

In their words:
[We are] here to enable travellers to give practical help to places they visit by bringing things that are really needed.
