College TimesStories from the current online edition of College Times.Quarter Life Crisis No Way!- August 7, 2008 Last week, on one of my few days off, I decided to do something I rarely do. I went to a bookstore. Don't get me wrong, because I am a self-appointed wordsmith and absolutely love books and everything about them, but it's the thought of new books that really turns me off.http://www.ecollegetimes.com/news/2008/08/07/Blogs/Quarter.Life.Crisis.No.Way-3397512.shtm... Pipe Dreams- August 7, 2008 Last night the roof of my apartment started leaking from the AC vent - probably because the rent is crazy cheap and you get what you pay for. But as I stood there watching the water drip relentlessly into the impromptu collection of bowls and buckets, I was struck with the awful reality: This is the kind of life I can afford.http://www.ecollegetimes.com/news/2008/08/07/Blogs/Pipe-Dreams-3397511.shtml Pre-Wedding Tradition- August 7, 2008 For those of you who remember my crazy stories of dating disasters and “almost” relationships from my “Sexless in the City” column, it may come as a bit of a shock that I am now engaged. In fact, it’s a big shock to me, too, a really good one though.http://www.ecollegetimes.com/news/2008/08/07/Blogs/PreWedding.Tradition-3397513.shtml Recycled Goods- August 7, 2008 Fashion is a constant cycle. Often, trends are simply a previous rage that is back. I was watching a couple ’90s movies lately – “Reality Bites” and then, “Junior” (I know!). My jaw was on the floor when I saw how people dressed back then.http://www.ecollegetimes.com/news/2008/08/07/Style/Recycled.Goods-3397527.shtml Annoying Neighbors- August 7, 2008 So when I moved into a second-floor condo and I brought three sometimes noisy dogs with me, I should have known I was asking for trouble. Now after about a month of fairly peaceful living, the token crazy single cat lady has begun to emerge. She lives directly below us; I guess that's one of the risks involved in buying a second floor condo.http://www.ecollegetimes.com/news/2008/08/07/Blogs/Annoying.Neighbors-3397217.shtml Sex in Space: The Final Frontier- August 7, 2008 With space tourism more likely, some wonder: is it possiblehttp://www.ecollegetimes.com/news/2008/08/07/Sex/Sex-In.Space.The.Final.Frontier-3397522.s... Stardust Lounge is a good, old-fashioned country bar- August 7, 2008 One of the better things about Arizona is that you can go to a cowboy bar without a hint of irony. At one point, most bars in the Valley were probably cowboy bars full of fun personalities, small stages for bands and cold American beer – just like Stardust Lounge.http://www.ecollegetimes.com/news/2008/08/07/Nightlife/Stardust.Lounge.Is.A.Good.OldFashio...
