Pointless college stories Vol 2. part 2
I was chatting with a coworker the other day about what kind of kids we were in high school. When I confessed to being a total goody two-shoes when it came to alcohol and other illicit substances, she said to me: "Oh!

Pointless College Stories: Special Annual #2
Just under the wire!
Okay. So, my freshman year of college, I needed some activities. I decided on the University Concert Committee--I was a music nerd, I was a stage crew nerd, but I was still too young to drink, so I couldn't go to shows at bars. Hmm. I know!

Bond Analysis, Part 1
Seeing as '007 is waning rapidly (and this is more fun than studying for my Series 7 exam), I should probably post the results of my analysis comparing the relative lethal nature of sleeping with James Bond. I still have a few facts to check on the movies, but I do have the scoop from the books for you:

Production Number Extravaganza
In the words of the blog I nicked it from:
