Given the extraordinary attention paid to Sex Power God and other so-called debauched events at Brown as of late, it seems only proper that we take time to properly salute an outspoken sect now emerging on campus - prudes.
Wednesday nights are still in the running for Brown's newest guilty pleasure, and it's not because of a certain bar by the river. Rather, what explains the appeal of my new favorite week day is a new addition to the ultimate boob tube trilogy. It may not be a Peter Jackson Middle Earth epic starring ...
At Fish Co. last Wednesday evening, looking out over the throng of students glistening with sweat, cradling draft beers and cheap cocktails in tacky plastic cups and grinding to the hypnotic beats blasting from the corner speakers, I was suddenly struck by the bothersome notion that all of this was ...
The quintessential all-American road trip, depending on your mood, can either recall Thelma and Louise driving a 1966 Thunderbird off a cliff, or Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis picking up Brad Pitt on the side of the road. For me, it was a matter of outlook.
It's official: our generation has a new "Friends," and there isn't a Central Perk in sight. Goodbye Ross and Rachel, hello Meredith and McDreamy. Call it what you will - a "Dawson's Creek" with blood or a George Clooney-era "ER" with a jolt of humor and compassion - but people are talking. "Grey's Anatomy" ...
Now that it's finally over, I think it is safe to say that shopping period always brings out the best and worst in stereotypes. Whether you shop departments like it's the biannual sale at Nordstrom's or you have got your next two years of classes set in registrar stone, you're bound to at some point ...

I Google Starbucks locations before I go on trips - glad to throw down four Euros for a sip of my beloved grande iced coffee ...
BERLIN, Germany - If studying abroad in Prague seemed like a quasi-Disneyland experience to me, with magical cobblestone steps and a dreamy castle, my first weekend getaway in Berlin was my jolt back to big-city life in 2005. No longer were the metro lines pretty primary colors, but rather a system ...
PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Dobry den, folks! When I left you in my last column, I was in a plane over the Atlantic Ocean, groggy from Dramamine and contemplating rowing a boat from England to the Seekonk so I could return to a life full of Starbucks, classes in Smitty-B and CVS.
Far away from the snazzy Ratty dining hall and my 197 on-campus facebook friends, this semester I won't be strolling off to my C-block class in Sayles or to Starbucks on a Friday afternoon for an iced chai. I will, however, dine on Vienna-style bratwurst from street vendors, drink a large pilsner for ...
