1. Snow
Your mama used to tell you things like, "No, honey. You are special. Just like a little snowflake. No two are the same!" Your mama may have been only half right. True, no two are, in fact, exactly the same. All snowflakes do, however, follow the same rough outlines. So don't feel too unique, there, bud. When it snows the forecasted 3-5 inches today, keep in mind that these beautiful little pennies from heaven are in fact just two or three variations on the same damn thing. Feel better, AU.
2. Leftovers
Now that TDR breakfast is no longer a possibility, as your 150 meals have dwindled to an embarrassing figure you can count on two hands (no feet necessary), cooking in the dorms has become a reality for some AU dorm dwellers. And what a feeling it is to wake up, slightly depressed that a good ol' greasy scrambled egg sandwich won't be lining your belly, to peek in the mini-fridge and find a Ziploc container filled with last night's spaghetti. Mmmmmm. Delicious.
3. "Project Runaway"
If you weren't totally obsessed with this show last season, you were tragically out of style. Thank goodness for a second chance to indulge in TV's artiest reality show. The premiere episode of the second season of the Emmy-nominated, Heidi-heavy fantastically fashionable "Project Runway" is airing this Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 10 p.m. Goofy kids who are full of themselves sew things (including corn husks and stuffed animals) together, pass them off as clothes and get pissy in the process.
4. "Victoria's Secret" on CBS
They can take the "sex" out of "the city," but they can't make Tyra put her clothes on. Make sure to catch the hardest soft-core porn on TV Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 10 p.m. With performances by Ricky Martin and Seal (a.k.a. Mr. Heidi Klum), this ostentatious display of tail and washed-up superstars may get too hot for network TV. We can only pray for wardrobe malfunctions.
5. Skiing in the desert
Don't have plans for winter break? Worried you might have to suffer through another lame holiday followed by a lamer New Year's Eve in New Jersey? Well, 6,000 tons of snow in the middle of the desert might just brighten up your winter woes. For just $35, you can enjoy two hours of Vail-esque shenanigans in Dubai's first-ever ski park. The indoor facility includes five different ski runs, a learner's area, a stunt park, a quarter pipe and a 30,000 square foot "snow play area."
