What Women Want
I am a map freak.
Not a freak in a bad sense, if there is a bad sense of being a map freak. But, nonetheless, a freak about maps. I have them covering every wall in my office. Some I own are neatly folded in a file cabinet, so that I may get them out whenever I have the desire to get giddy about what I forgot I had.

Variety.com may call it a “predictably glossy” screen adaptation of an Abba-scored musical – but let’s face it.

When people see your car and begin to reminisce about the “good old days,” you might think it’s time to either trade-up or move out of the neighborhood, but just because your ride may not be the shiniest sportster on the road and has probably seen better days, if it still gets you where you want to go and the only real problem seems to be what you’re friends think, it may be worth hanging on to – especially if you’re strapped for cash or don’t want to take on the burden of monthly payments.
On the flip side though, let’s face it – if the city bus gets you to work faster than your car can, The 15 minute Jiffy Lube needs to keep your car for 3 days or your passengers have to hold on to a toggle strap or bungee cord for dear life just to keep the door shut, it’s probably time for something new.

No one knew what her strengths and weaknesses were so how were they supposed to know what position to play her at? Well, she wanted to play so I signed her up.

I watched the last episode for “The Secret Life of the American Teenager”. If you haven’t watched any episodes, you are completely missing out. You have the common jock, who is trying to get his girlfriend, the Catholic Cheerleader Grace, to sleep with him. You have the girl-next-door, Amy, that sleeps with the schools sexy boy whore Ricky.
