Guest blogger: Seriously, So Blessed! How to turn your datingJife from bummer to Hummer in five seconds f BY TAMN OF SERIOUSLY, SO BLESSED! r Hey Wolverina-spinsties, time to get your babe on and get a life! It's me, Tiffany/ Amber/Megan/Nicole, or TAMN, and bragging is a downer but honestly, I have the bEsT Liffi eVeR and me and my hubbers, Jordan/Jason/Wes/Taylor (JJWT, or JDub, or Angelbabe) are what happily ever after looks like. I fill way bad for those of you who can't even get a date let alone a hub and babies and playgroup. So, sit down, put up those Uggs slash stilletos and prepare to find true luv. Ready!?! First off, Jeeps and trucks only, giris. Anything else and he prolly doesn't even tan, which = sap\ An easy way to spot a keeper is by how much briter his teeth are than anything around him, like a glow-in-the-dark beacon of hot. Basic rule: when the tan is deep, he's hotter than bleep. Don't even THINK about dating someone w/o stellar summer sells experience and serious plans for law/ biz/med/dental school. Ugh. V I D E O G A M E Otherwise you'll get stuck having to work, sharing a car {shudder} and next thing you know, you guys can't afford unlimited texting, your dying your hair from some freaking box and if you ever want natural fro-yo your stuck hitting up Maverick instead of Spoon Me. Forget Pal trips, you'll be lucky to go to the chalk festival in Spanish Fork as a fam. That's why law/biz/med/dental schoolplans are exspecially vital. Mascara, mascara, mascara. Overdoing this is IMPOSSIBLE. When ppl say you have tarantula eyez, it means your SO hot even a hairy spider couldn't resist! Also never wear sweats, BUT, if you do wear sweats, make sure there is something sassy written on your bottom. Do NOT actually workout. Standing around Golds looking available is fine, dripping sweat like some workhorse frump is disgusting, and it's not my fault you don't have the self control to go off food. Also, quit wearing long sleeves. Seriously, they make you look uptight and like forty. Cap sleeves are best, TRUST ME, way more shaved-arm available to tickle in movies. Remember UVU girls, this is your time to UTILIZE THE HALL OF FLAGS CATWALK! Seriously, no shame in "-walking backin forth 8-10 times each hour, it's all about the advertising, and the more deliberately you chompalomp your gum while checking VM but pretending to talk to someone, the hotter you look! Serious! Also, shouting SHUT UP! is a fun and way easy thing to do when all else fells. Plus what's nice about SHUT UP! is that you can use it when your happy, frowny, suprised, frustrated, flirty, ticked...doesn't matter, always rocks, and soon you'll be talking in baby voices about how much you lurve e/o! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR HOW IT GOES! pack to Provo Peak, or explore Moab. You'll soon be hooked on outdoor adventure. The majority of these popular outdoor adventure groups are affiliated with a local university or outdoor equipment retailer, with the exception of The Adventure Seekers' Society. This particular group represents a growing number of outdoor recreation clubs formed by common people with similar hobbies who recognize a need to organize. Zart Mies, one of the founders of The Adventure Seekers' Society said the society "was founded by a small group of friends for the purpose of bringing together responsible and reliable people with a wide variety of outdoor interests and experience." The society has now grown to 108 active members (as of March 2) and is currently planning a backpacking trip through the Grand Gulch in southern Utah this April. The groups highlighted are open to all students, regardless of what university they are attending. For information about upcoming trips, please reference the group contact information.

Outdoor adventure tours are abundant in Utah. Shaylene Nistler/UVU Review R E V I E W nn Amazon.com Flickr.com GTA 4's new DLC, The Lost And Damned, doesn't disappoint. Updated versions of the harem pant are becoming popular. Spring trend The Lost and Damned spotted Amazon.com Or how I learned to stop worrying and love GTA 4's new DLC JONATHAN POOLE Life wnter / . While this generation of gaming ' has seen its fair share of innovation, there are two particular examples that should be considered definitive. One of these is the motionsensing capabilities of Nintendo's "Wii-mote"; at this point, that's probably a no-brainer. The other is a little less obvious, but I'd like to nominate the veritable explosion of DLC, or downloadable content. Especially in these relatively tight financial times, DLC offers a less expensive way to extend a gaming experience. Occasionally you get stuff like the much-maligned "horse armor" DLC from Bethesda (which was basically a $2.50 costume for your character's horse), but let's not forget that Bethesda also gave us Vie Shivering Isles. The Shivering Isles was a 30+ hour expansion to the already gargantuan Oblivion, and all for the low, low price of $20. Well, now it's Rockstar's turn to deliver an Xbox 360-exclusive DLC expansion to Grand Theft Auto 4, and let's just say that they definitely took the Shivering Isles route. $20 price tag? Check. Expansion larger than many full-priced games? Check. Good enough reason to revisit an old favorite? Check and mate! In the Lost and Damned you play as Johnny Kleibitz, a.k.a. Jonny the Jew, a tbugh-as-nails, streethardened, biker club V.P. The game begins with the gang's president, Billy, getting out of rehab. While Johnny has been running the gang, they have experienced a period of rela- tive peace and prosperity. Billy is having none of it. Debauchery and death to his enemies are at the top of Billy's list, consequences be damned. I won't summarize the full story, but suffice it to say that it's pretty typically Grand Theft Auto. If you like the series you'll enjoy this chapter. The missions are familiar but the context is different enough to make them fun and all of GTA's usual humor, satire and over-the-top profanity survive intact. While GTA 4 was generally a solo act, the Lost and Damned plays more like an ensemble piece. You normally have the accompaniment of several members of your gang for backup, and it's pretty cool to, coast down the street in formation while listening to the guys around you strike up a conversation. It adds a certain camaraderie to the experience that's actually quite refreshing. Since the Lost and Damned is about a motorcycle gang, it's to be expected that the game is more bike-centric than previous iterations. While a source of irritation in the past, the biking mechanics have been tweaked and are now a joy to control. Power-sliding around corners never felt so satisfying. Additionally the Lost and Damned introduces several new cars, new motorcycles, new multiplayer modes and new weapons. The sawed-off shotgun is in a" class all its own. In short, if you're looking for an inexpensive way to prolong an already amazing experience, the Lost and Damned should be right up your alley. MC Hammer pants Life writer "f you thought the "2 legit to quit" craze was over now that -the Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer concert has passed, think again! Much like the musician, hammer pants or Harem pants, are also attemfJting a comeback in women's Fashion this spring. The genie pant, as they are also known, was seen all over trie recent New York Fashion Week and nearly every runway sported the trend. Big names like Diane Von Furstenberg and Yves Saint Laurent unveiled pretty, feminine versions, while Betsey Johnston and Chloe flaunted the pant in loud prints and bold colors. To rock this trend, pair it with a fitted tee or camisole and finish it off with a strappy high heel to keep from looking frumpy and sloppy. Oversized bangles and necklaces will quickly turn your look into a high fashion statement. Not daring enough to wear them? Cuff a baggy pair of your boyfriend's jeans ala Katie Holrnes and sport a more wearable, casual version of the silhouette. - Find Harem pants at Urban Outtfitters, Free People, and even Forever 21. And be on the lookout, men; a version of this trend will also be coming your way. |
