I can think of no other reason why this woman might be hated by every woman she meets

On Why Will Leitch Burned All His Baseball Cards: A Q&A
I threw out my cassette collection when I left home about ten years ago. Now I bitterly regret it, if only because I have lost the opportunity to show my kids what a pain in the ass it was to listen to music when I was a kid. By the time I have teenage kids, they'll be plucking music out of the air with their magic internet brains.

This article should end after the first rule. If you ride your bike into the city, be prepared to ride it home again. The end.

@Dan Stewart@twitter Fuck. No one warned me about the post-Drynuary hangover.

On A Drynuary Diary: Week Four, The Wettening
It's all over bar the drinking. My Drynuary ends tonight too, and it was nice to read this sober evaluation of the past four weeks before going out and re-discovering what a hangover feels like.
But, to return to your question, John ("Why don't we do this year-round?"), I think if any of us felt like our lives were genuinely, measurably improved by not drinking, then it's a question we should take seriously. But for me, the fleeting pleasures of a sober month (a bit more cash in my pocket, a little less flesh in my jeans) don't compare to the rich satisfaction of a fireside whisky, or a cold beer at sunset. I knew that going in, and I'm even more sure of it coming out. Bottoms up everyone!

On A Drynuary Diary: Week Two
16 days down, 15 to go. We're past halfway. Worryingly, this weekend I began to notice my sense of smell getting better. Then I thought, what if I'm actually a werewolf and the only cure is to keep drinking? And I've inadvertently let my primal beast loose by maintaining sobriety? This was at about 3am or so. So much for the improved sleeping.

On A Drynuary Diary: Week One
Right there with you. I was going to take the coward's way out and give up *buying* alcohol for January, allowing me to sip freely of December's leftover booze, not to mention sundry drinks cadged off friends, family and product launches. But I sealed up all my loopholes after a debauched New Year's Eve. The main positive: I have a lot more space in my refrigerator. My substitute when out with friends: ginger ale, or seltzer water.

On Justin Bieber Makes McDonald's Commercial Look Like Pure, Undiluted Hip-Hop
I'm no fan of the Biebs but... he wasn't actually all that bad. Freestyling isn't easy, and he acquits himself fairly well. I mean, he just killed hip-hop, but at least he did it capably.

On Things I Didn't Get To Eat (Or Drink) At The Great GoogaMooga
This is one of the better reviews out there. Some critics *really* hated the whole experience. Me, I'm just glad I may never have to hear the words "googa mooga" ever again.
