Meet Me at Foxwoods

This past weekend I participated in my second annual “Asswipe” convention with all the women in my family. Basically it’s an excuse for all of us douchy women to get together, drink, gamble, soak up the sun, eat a lot of food and make fun of everything because we’re asswipes. We had an amazing time and most importantly, the opportunity to take it all in. Here are a few life lessons and observations  I took from my 24 hours at MGM...

Child Star Meltdown: Amanda Bynes

You wouldn’t be wrong if you assumed that all child stars have a meltdown at one point or another. Screech, Macaulay, Britney Spears, and the infamous LiLoh are just some examples of this. Amanda Bynes is rapidly making her way onto this list. And to you Amanda, I say– girl, what happened? Three years go by and all of a sudden you’re about to lap LiLoh.  You’re taking topless photos, throwing bongs out of windows, shaving half...

THE SNL EXITS: PART 2

Whenever I ask someone if they watch SNL, 90% of the time I get the same response “Yea, I used to watch it back when it was funny.” And I always feel like responding with a nice ‘go fuck yourself’ but I refrain, and I defend one of my favorite(and longest running) television shows.  Airing its first episode in 1975, SNL has made its way into our homes and has managed to stay there ever since. This past Saturday night was a huge moment...

Mother’s Day: A Rookerville Collection

A bunch of us wanted to share some quick thoughts pertaining to Mother’s Day.  Below is a collection from a few writers: Andrew Rose: My mom’s family is 100% Italian-Catholic from the Bronx, and my upbringing reflected this strongly. Dinner was pasta multiple times a week. Misbehavior led to a wooden spoon. Parent-child communication meant gesticulating wildly with your hands while yelling rapid-fire sentences at one another,...

Full House, Heavy Heart

Every Tuesday night at 8pm, I had the privilege to stay up and watch my favorite show, Full House. I was 7 and even then, I knew it was a guilty pleasure but I loved it so much I swallowed my pride and embraced it. I would sit on the bottom bunk and watch the TV through the wooden ladder that led up to the top bunk. An obstructed view was no issue because this my friend, was the life. My sister was 13 at the time and there was no way...

Online Dating: A Tale of Two Cities

Cargile: The votes are in.  Even Florida got theirs in on time too.  People are meeting, greeting, and all the inbetweening via the internet.  Match.com recently put out a study citing that 17% of people have found their spouse online.  Look, to be frank I’m a huge pessimist to the whole online scene in general.  Honestly the caricature of personalities that people put on display is just hard for me to keep up with.  Admittedly...
