the friday five:

12/1/03 update: oops, forgot to post the answers-

1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?
Yes, when I can find something that fits.

2. What was the last thing you purchased?
I bought a snack at Wendy's on my way home today. Does that count? If not, then my last big purchase was a Dell mp3 player.

3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?
I like shopping at actual stores, because you can try things out before considering to purchasing anything. Online shopping is good for when you're buying something that you don't have to try on, like music or books.

4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?
Yes, I received allowance when I was a kid, like 15-20 bucks a week, depending on how much my parents could spare.

5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing?
The textbooks for my classes this quarter; barely read any of them.

"The chaos of college costs"
The steady rise in public university tuition puts more Ohio families in an economic bind

The Source Digs Up Tape Of Eminem Using Racial Slurs

What the hell is Benzino's problem? He's got that much hatred against Eminem that he gotta go and dig up some stuff from 1993 with Em using racial slurs? Obvioulsy, it's wrong to use racial slurs against people, and I'm not trying to condone it at all. I just think its some type of publicity stunt that he's trying to pull to get more people to buy more copies of The Source magazine, which Benzino owns. They're planning to include a cd of the Eminem recordings in the February issue of the magaine. Plus, with his non-existant rapping career, and the so, so sad Source Awards that were aired on BET last week, I'm sure he's looking for some sort of attention.

And I'm sure that BET regretted showing the awards, as much as they blurt out everthing on the videos (they won't let Monica say "smack ya chick" on her song "So Gone"!), and couldn't do anything about that shot at the closing of the awards with the two girls making out. Enough said.

I took the Happy Bunny quiz on Quizilla, most likely out of boredom, mixed with a little procrastination:


you are the "you're so dumb" happy bunny.
you are brutal in your words and enjoy putting
others down.


which happy bunny are you?

Here's the friday five:

Seafood. I find that I lot of people that I'm cool with don't like shrimp, crab legs, lobster and all that.

2. What food do you hate that most people love?
Raw onions (like on hamburgers or in salads).

I guess Pharell Williams of the Neptunes.

5. What popular trend baffles you?
The trend that bothers me (that I hope is only in Cincy) is when these girls wear their headbands on their foreheads. Not on their heads, their FOREHEADS. It just looks dumb to me.

Grants barely survive cuts
It's a bit unnerving to know that the Federal Pell Grants almost got cut this year.

Well, it's official, UC is now a part of the Big East Conference. It will officially begin in the fall of 2005.

Whoever told Britney Spears that this hairdo looked good on her, lied.
