The Pitfalls: Earthquake-Level Snoring

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 11, 2008 //

In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I have always been hyper-OCD about certain sounds causing me mental distress. For example, when someone has a cold, the sound of them sniffing obsessively makes me inwardly homicidal. Likewise, a running toilet puts me on the precipice of madness. So when my fiance suddenly became a snorer three years and eight months into our relationship, I couldn’t just call it a dealbreaker and bail — we live together and share a dog, so we can’t break up over the fact that his midnight sinus warbling are freaking killing me.

Katie Holmes Does Not Want You To Forget How Much She Loves Tom Cruise

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 25, 2008 //

People in love can be really annoying to people that aren’t. But then there are some people in love that are annoying to everyone in the universe, even the most Hallmark-y, optimistic, happy-go-lucky teddy bears. Like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. While we obviously admire Katie’s fashion sense since she hooked up with the Mission Impossible actor, we think she’s become one of those “smug marrieds” that give other married ladies a bad name, namely because she’s become totally incapable of taking about anything else. Somebody needs to tell her the record is skipping! In an interview with The Daily Mail, Katie answered every (admittedly lame) question with a Totally Tommy answer. Highlights, after the jump: Keep reading »

Romance On TV: Big Brother Plays Matchmaker

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 19, 2008 //

Forget the Millionaire Matchmaker! Julie Chen and the rest of the people behind my favorite summertime guilty pleasure, Big Brother, are looking to play Cupid for the first Winter season of the hit reality TV show. For the ninth season, the cast is totally single and ready to mingle — or as Julie puts it, “looking for love”. After a week’s worth of episodes (the show airs a whopping three times a week on CBS, plus nightly on Big Brother: After Dark on Showtime), I really think the house guests are really only looking to hook-up and fight. The cast is paired up in teams of two based on their romantic compatibility, but that has already made for some trouble. Partners Adam and Sheila despise each other; a real couple outside the house, Jen and Ryan, were paired up with other partners that were apparently more compatible; and a couple that recently broke up in real life were reunited as partners inside the Big Brother house to neither of their pleasure. But there has been some “showmancing”, much to the producers’ relief. Via the live feeds available on CBS.com, Jen and Ryan have been overheard gettin’ down and dirty in the bathroom, while partners Nat and Matt (aww, cute!) indulged in a little midnight canoodling. We can’t wait to see what happens next! [CBS: Big Brother 9] Keep reading »

For the week of February 18-24, 2008

Pisces (February 20-March 20)
You may have bitten off more than you can chew in your latest escapades, but remember, you’re a lady that likes to swallow the drama down in big gulps. So, despite the fact that you have wound up on Psycho Lane in matters of the heart, turn this disaster into your ultimate swan song — at the least, gain as much sympathy from your friends as you can.

A Possible Upshot Of Moving

Catherine StrawnFebruary 15, 2008 //

Moving is not the most fun activity in the world. It’s less fun than going to the dentist. Less fun than getting delayed at the airport. Less fun than filing taxes. I am moving in approximately 14 days, but watching this little video (scroll to the bottom of the page), is making me a little more excited about it. Have you ever dated someone who lived in your building? I haven’t. And I actually don’t think it would be a good idea to even consider, because there are only four apartments in my new building. Sure, it would be convenient, but if it didn’t work out, I would probably have to move again. [SKForlee.com] Keep reading »

Finding Out True Love Is Blind

SimchaFebruary 14, 2008 //

Love is one of those things that has a million different precious expressions about it: Absence make the heart grow fonder. All you need is love. When it comes to matters of the heart, it’s the heart that matters most. Love is a many splendored thing…. The list goes on and on. Despite how cool they sound in song, most of the altruisms are unproven. Although, researchers at UCLA, just like the sexy boy band Louis XIV, are “Finding Out True Love Is Blind.”

How Barack & Michelle Obama Fell In Love

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 14, 2008 //

Politics aside, I think Barack and Michelle Obama are the cutest couple on the campaign trail (though John and Elizabeth Edwards were pretty sweet too) — here’s a video clip of Michelle describing how and why she fell for the Presidential candidate. It’s nice to see that even in the middle of a tough campaign, with all that mud-slinging and sleepless hours on the road, a couple like them still seems so in love. [You Tube] Keep reading »

Researchers Prove You Can Love Someone Foreva-Eva

SimchaFebruary 12, 2008 //

No pressure if you’re just keeping a relationship together to score a sweet present on Valentine’s Day, but according to the Wall Street Journal, neuroscientists in New York have been able to prove that you can love someone forever. While a group of pessimistic psychologists were trying to plot the decline of passion in couples over the course of two decades, they accidentally discovered a handful of couples who were still in love.
