Runway Roundup: Dexter-ize It

https://twitter.com/ProjectRunway/status/796913272003903488Much like "Project Runway" (2004-present) judge and designer Zac Posen’s recent impromptu seated Rockette/karate kick, this week’s episode might be a bit kitschy, but we love it. After the designers’ moms or female best friends ...

Jumbo Steps: From 'good mourning' to 'good morning'

Not even Carm’s endless supply of tater tots could’ve convinced me to untangle myself from my cocoon of sheets. I knew it was a bad idea to forgo breakfast for sleep last Wednesday morning. But I also knew that sleeping would better nourish my mind and body. I woke up with 10 minutes to spare before ...

Under the Lights: California dreaming

The team that provides the most pleasurable rooting experience in sports today is not a contender for any kind of championship this season. It does not feature anything close to a real superstar, a player who can transcend the entire experience of watching a team with their remarkable acts of athleticism ...

The Reel World: Midterm blues

If I had to give a rough estimate as to the total amount of time I was outside of my blanket cocoon in my room this past weekend, I would guess it adds up to about seven minutes. The reason? No, I have not decided to become a troll, though I would be lying if I said I haven’t considered it. The real ...

Out of Left Field: Free agency

In a relatively weak MLB free agent class as compared to the 2018 offseason, three players stand out. Despite not being great at predictions as I mentioned in an earlier column, I’m going to try my best to predict where these players will end up. Yoenis CéspedesCéspedes has traveled around a lot ...

The Arena: The Democratic blues

Who would’ve thought it would be the Democrats in such disarray after these elections? Coming into Tuesday’s elections, the talking heads (and your favorite columnist) were predicting the inevitable schism of the Republican Party. Instead, we have a president-elect who has never held office and ...

Is This Thing On? Outkast for every occasion

What’s good! This has been one heck of a week. I'm feeling emotionally drained, and checking the news right now is giving me heartburn. If it’s alright with everyone, I would like to write this one for fun. Okay? Okay. So, without further ado, I present to you: "Outkast for Every Occasion." Sounds like something my mom would find in Good Housekeeping. Except, it’s hard to imagine my mom saying, “So, I read this great article about Big Boi the other day!” That being said, Outkast strikes a unique chord between hip-hop and funk that appeals to many audiences.

All in Good Taste: Mamaleh's

“I don’t just want potato latkes … I need them,” I told my roommate Saturday morning. One of the things I miss most about home is my weekly trip to the local Jewish deli. For weeks, I had been dreaming about matzah ball soup and noodle kugel. After a quick Google search, we hop in a car and ...

Maintaining Your Tuftsanity: Catch z's, not disease

It is hard for me to believe that there was ever a day when I protested going to bed. Like most kids, I fought against it as though my life depended on it. I screamed, fussed and found corners of the house to hide in so I couldn’t be forced to sleep. When closing my eyes wasn’t enough to trick my ...

Jumping Hurdles: Sugar

This weekend, I realized I have a problem. As I found myself elbow-deep in the cookie jar, reaching for my fourth cookie of the night while simultaneously typing into Google, “how to stop eating so many cookies,” it suddenly occurred to me that I may have a bit of a sugar addiction.Sugar is a sneaky ...

Vinny’s Variety Pack: Panic! Because your team’s bad

For the next two weeks, I’m going to skip out on fantasy talk, and instead talk about the NFL playoff race. The halfway point of the season has come and gone, which means that fans who were so confident in their team’s Super Bowl prowess five weeks ago are currently in full-fledged panic-mode. This ...

The Echo Chamber: Are election seasons too long?

We made it. Twenty months ago, on March 23, 2015, Ted Cruz announced his candidacy for the Republican Party. As of last night, the next president of the United States has been elected (Surprise! It’s not Ted Cruz). In December 2015, 11 months ago and a mere nine months into the 2016 election, a report ...

Under the Lights: Pettiness lives

We knew Thursday’s matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Golden State Warriors, pitting ex-superstar teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant against each other, was going to be epic. We couldn’t have imagined, though, that it would be so delightfully petty.Durant and Westbrook ...

The Reel World: 'Election'

Since the election will finally be over after today, I feel it’s only appropriate to approach political films in this column. This is mostly a byproduct of my habit of actively ignoring all remotely political news and kind of just hoping it will go away. However, as Election Day drew nearer and nearer, ...
