27 Dresses is the brand new movie about a girl who has been a bridesmaid no less than 27 times… First I wonder who has 27 friends close enough to be asked to be a bridesmaid. That aside, the movie seems to look like a bit of a chick-flick, and it shapes up to have [...]

Dating SOS found a blog post discussing why women wear high heels. This post is also based on the recent study that reports in the Telegraph.co.uk that people consider women with 5% longer legs than the average as more attractive.

…but don’t take off any clothes just yet. At least until reaching the privacy of your home/patio/pool/etc… Instead, take in some heat at the Hot & Spicy Food Festival on from Aug 10th to the 12th at the Harbourfront Centre.

I came across this hilarious video, and can’t help but post it with a comment:
Boys, don’t be silly… if you want to be seen as a “man” by women, act like one!

Today I had lunch with a friend I haven’t seen in over two months. I also spoke on the phone to a person I care about, and wrote a few blog posts. Aside from that, I tried to get myself to work on something I have due (tomorrow!) but didn’t manage to muster the concentration. [...]
