So it’s Sunday morning and I’m cooking up some eggs for breakfast.  I’m not thinking about much other than I’m pretty happy with how the peppers and onions are browning for the omelette I’m making and I’m really excited to add some amazing Sriracha sauce to take this delicious breakfast creation to the next level.

Jun 29th 2011 - 0 comments

What to do when all the snow’s gone and ski season is officially over?  Many will head to other countries to ski, but few will go to a country without any mountains or snow.  Except for me.  I figured where better to go than to the desert?  I recently went on a trip to the [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/28/39/48/283948.jpeg[/IMG]

Feb 17th 2011 - 0 comments

The Sims Legacy Jacket may just be the steeziest piece of apparel on the mountain.  This great looking jacket garners compliments on and off the mountain (seriously, I’ve received compliments from multiple strangers).  It’s got a few nice features and could probably benefit from a few more, but it’s perfect if your goal is to [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/03/31/10/33110.png[/IMG]

A skiing or boarding mix is a tricky thing to make.  As John Cusak said in High Fedelity, “The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem.
