Big Me

While shopping for a friend's baby shower I realized that everything made for babies is cute because it's small. Tiny hats? Adorable. Itty-bitty mittens? Delightful. Little shoes? Squealing with happiness. The small=cute factor applies to many things...but not everything.

Small DOES Equal Cute:
4. Dogs. Unless you step on them.
3. Comical Hats. I wore one on St. Patricks Day, rave reviews.
2. Travel sized anything. Big fan of the toothpastes and shampoos, especially when they are free.
1. Mini-skirts. People like them.


Things that aren't so great in mini-form:
4. Cellphones. 2 tiny 2 text.
3. Bottles of booze. Sure they're cute and great if you need to sneak booze into a sporting event but really, they're quite useless.
2. Mini-sized candy bars. Never satisfying, but 'Fun Size' was a great marketing ploy.
1. Pencils. I hate those useless golf pencils. No eraser?!

Big Me,

Too Much of a Good Thing

The new late night Mexican food establishment, "Taco Heaven", has opened (on Johnson Street between Logan's and Tutto Pasta). It's absolutely amazing; judging by the signature dish I tried: Dank Nacho Supreme. Quite possibly the dankest thing I've ever eaten. Now, a newer late night Mexican food establishment next door to Wando's is opening. No clues on the name, but the sign reads "Tacos - Amsterdam, America." It seems to me that these two places are catering to the same crowd-people on campus looking for "munchies." I'm not sure if bar-food-restaurants with similar menus can survive (Example: Love Shack and DP Dough are both closed). Other things that are too much of a good thing:
3. Lil' Wayne rapping on every song ever. He's good, but I would be surprised to hear a rap song without him in it.
2. All You Can Eat Buffets. Seems like an economically good idea at the time, until you are so physically uncomfortable you can barely shuffle over to the dessert options.
1. Facebook friends. Who are all these people? And no, I don't want to take your quiz.
