It’s hard to keep track of our diet intake as we make our favorite holiday foods. I love a good peanut butter cookie just as much as the next person, maybe even more. Some may say I’m a peanut butter addict so I know it can be difficult not reach for that second or third.
I'm having a big problem. I really like my best friend. We've been friends for years and I see him every day. He is sweet and he flirts and cuddles with me all the time. The problem is that he has a girlfriend. He never talks about her or brings her up to me and it seems like he isn't all that interested in her. I tried to bring it up to him and he didn't say very much on the subject. Should I forget about him or is he trying to end it with his girlfriend and just doesn't want to tell me? I can't stand being around him without him being mine.
I have a problem. There's this girl who is like, 18, and I feel like she's infatuated with me. Now I am flattered, but there are a few things that need to be understood. First off, she doesn't even know me, but acts like she's known me forever. Second, I'm like, 24, and she's 18. That's a big difference in age. Third and most important, she has a boyfriend. Ain't this some messed up shit?
I am so confused. Last Friday night I had a one night stand with a guy I met at a Day of the Dead costume party. The sex was pretty great and lasted all night into the morning, but I am so confused by his behavior now. Typically I'd say, (or maybe not so typically — that is the question?), when people have sex with one another when they barely know each other, the morning puts a new, unfavorable light to the entire situation
Looking good probably isn’t your first concern while working out, but it is good to wear the right type clothing for it.
If you are anything like me, you can gain weight just by smelling food. I have always been the type of person that needs to watch what I eat and try to cut back on the sweets.

Latest superhero flick is unified and delightfully ambitious
The electronic scene is growing in popularity at a rapid pace. Groups are dominating the airwaves with filtered electronic beats and dancehall anthems, with the sound being embraced by singers adapting to the times. Fortunately, Dave 1 (real name, David Macklovitch) of Chromeo doesn’t see them as part of the trend. “To be honest, I [...]
While the struggle of going through cancer treatment may send many off the deep end, Andrew McMahon of Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin used his experiences to shape his musical and personal life. Growing up, McMahon explained that [...]
Latest tracks by Orange Marsupials Truth be told, I rarely write about local bands. I find it hard to be honest as a journalist and deal out objective criticism because some bands take it as me bashing their music. So, for the sake of artists still trying to make a name in our city, I [...]
The last day of Lollapalooza was looming in the distance Sunday morning. I wasn’t glad to see it end, but three days of scorching sunlight was getting to me. Opening on the main stage was The Joy Formidable, bringing their sonic assault to the masses early to start with a bang. After tearing though 45 [...]
I awoke on a rainy Saturday morning to a hearty breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs and fresh zucchini pie patties provided by our hosts for the weekend – my cousin and her fiancée. Having gotten a terrible sunburn the day before, the meal definitely started me off on a much better foot then when I [...]
From the gourmet gouges of meat to ripe vegan dishes, and oriental-inspired antiquities clashing right next to a deep-dish Chicago trademark, this year’s line-up for food is as epic as the music.
At this time of the day, the physical toll caused by the heat had affected everyone but we continued to trek through and make our way over to the Sony stage to enjoy Two Door Cinema Club. Or so I thought I’d enjoy it.
Entering Chicago for the first time in my life, and being relatively constricted to suburbia for majority of my time on Earth, the view of the skyline looming in the background of I-94 was overwhelming. I was awestruck and under-prepared with the bustle of the city. Hell, a Hispanic man nearly ran me into the concrete median on the freeway while I was staring like a wide-eyed child.
Lollapalooza, one of the biggest festivals in the United States, is more than just a 3-day sprawl for a nation of strangers to congregate and dance to music. The festival is celebrating their twentieth year and making enormous strides to give back and give more.
