    Food Additives (0)

    8/26/09 •

    So apparently I’m going to die. Well, I knew that of course, but Food Additives by WebArtisan has informed me how: all of the food from the grocery store has potentially dangerous additives that I have concluded will end my life. This hasn’t been substantiated by the app, but my imagination is rife with wild ... Read More

    Drync Wine (free version) (3)

    8/25/09 •

    Drinking (at its best, of course) is about celebrating, socializing, relaxing, and complementing food. When having a nice dinner out, most people want their food and drink – the two go hand in hand. Some people might never give the restaurant a chance if they thought they couldn’t get a glass of wine or a ... Read More

    Grocery markets are set up in very specific ways. Produce is always along the sides, or near the front entrance, dairy far away along the back wall, and all those frozen foods, convenient packaged foods, and fast foods piled in the pretty center aisles for you to walk through on your way to other parts ...

    Vegan Yum Yum (0)

    8/24/09 •

    So I’m a vegan. Alright, maybe more a flexitarian. A flexi-vegan? I’m a patron of culinary anthropology, and on the occasion I’m a guest for dinner or I travel to foreign lands, I will not forgo those lovely steaks in Argentina, or the amazing ceviche my aunts make in Mexico. There’s something to be said ... Read More

    Harvest (0)

    8/24/09 •

    I’m pretty picky when it comes to picking my produce. Whether at farmer’s markets, Whole Foods (I haven’t boycotted them yet), or other markets, I can spend up to an hour shopping, just poking and prodding and shaking fruits and vegetables, trying to discern which are the ripest, the juiciest, the most fragrant, the most ...

    Frogger – $0.99 Limited Time (0)

    8/21/09 •

    I can’t think of a single person who hasn’t heard of Frogger. Originally released for arcade games in 1981, it’s one of the most classic games, and still one of the most addictive – as old-school arcade style games tend to be. Its popularity was so rampant, it’s even famously immortalized in the Seinfeld episode ... Read More

    Remember the Tamagotchi craze of the late 90s? I must have had four of them – one original Tamagotchi, two brand rip-offs, and one even from a McDonald’s kids meal. Oh, you heard me right. Tamagotchi’s were so rampant in our girly tween culture that even fast food giants picked up on the cash bandwagon. ... Read More

    Terminator Salvation (0)

    8/20/09 •

    When my childhood friends were watching Bambi, The Fox and the Hound, and other Disney flicks, I was watching RoboCop, Terminator, and Aliens. I like to wryly tell my friends that being raised on these movies really shaped me into the person I am today (Violent? Bold and testosterone-laden? Interpret as you will). Terminator, though, ...

But, let’s not ... Read More

    Sims 3 – Review Update (0)

    8/19/09 •

    Back in June, I attempted to review Sims 3 and it simply wouldn’t work on my iPhone – it worked for several moments, crashed, and refused to work thereafter. I was a bit miffed, particularly since I absolutely love all the Sims games, pledge undying allegiance to EA Games, spent Spring break sophomore year of ... Read More
