Comments (0) | | (0) Trackbacks Monday, March 10, 2008 I've always wondered what would happen if everyone around me randomly broke into song, Rent style. Now I've got a good idea. The talented commedy group Improv Everywhere orchestrated and executed a 16-man musical in a mall food court in LA. Here's how it went down.

Spirit Airlines announced new non-stop service to Cartagena, Colombia, (on the Colombian Carribean Coast) today. To bolster sales, they're offering some AMAZING deals. You can fly Ft. Lauderdale-Cartagena for an unheard of $18 each way. That's cheaper than six gallons of gas. This flight to South America is cheaper than the gas for a trip from Auburn to Destin (225mi/25-mpg vehicle=9.04 gallons). Dates for the $18 deal are limited, but they coincide well with Auburn University's break between Spring and summer semesters. Even if you'd prefer to fly ATL-Colombia fares are just $88 each way and the travel dates are much more flexible. You can't even get to Denver or NYC that cheaply, even on AirTran. And even though the American dollar hit an all-time low this week, it still kick's the Colombian peso's ass. ...(More)
Comments (1) | | (0) Trackbacks Tuesday, February 19, 2008 So, I saw some kids attempting to walking across a not so tight rope between two puny Craype Myrtle trees out in front of the Haley the other day. Hmm, looks fun, I thought and then promptly forgot about . . . Until today when I saw this CRAZY video on the Nau website: https://www.nau.com/thecollective/life_on_a_line.jsp (Sorry, no embedded link, but it's worth the copy and paste.) Who knew that there was an entire pseudo-hippy subculture devoted to this? I didn't. While you're on the site, check out Nau's clothing. It's out of my college budget, but they make environmentally friendly street and sport clothing (for me and women) that looks more Bananna Republic than Dead Head....(More)
Comments (0) | | (0) Trackbacks Sunday, February 17, 2008 The sea of bobbing heads on the treadmills at the student act and at Gold’s are a dead giveaway that spring break is fast approaching. While I’m not a believer in diets of the conventional sort, I am putting myself on a financial diet for the next month. This Shu Pork recipe fits a tight budget, and is definently good for you, so it might even help you fit into your pants. And I promise that there’s nothing “diet” about its taste....(More)
Comments (0) | | (0) Trackbacks Wednesday, February 13, 2008 I hate to be negative Nancy, but let’s face it: school has sucked the life out of reading books for fun. It pains me to declare this as a writer and avid for-fun reader, but after 17 consecutive years of schoolin’ even I have been guilty at times of book burnout. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard someone say, “I read enough at school” or “I haven’t picked up a book since I graduated _fill-in-the-blank_ years ago,” I wouldn’t exactly be rich, but I could afford a decent spring break. But what they’ve forgotten is that reading doesn’t have to be such a drag.
Chuck Thompson’s 2007 book “Smile When You’re Lying: Confessions of a Rogue Traveler” proves that reading can still make you laugh hysterically out loud. Seriously, I wouldn’t recommend reading it at any weddings, funerals or at any other locations where laughter is inappropriate. One part memoir and one part travel-industry expose, “Smile When You’re Lying,” condenses Thompson’s eclectic, exciting life as an expat and globetrotter into 336 fast-turning pages...(More)
