July is Anti-boredom Month and we are here to help!

It's ALSO Blondie/Debbie Harry Appreciation Month!  Thanks Beth, for the awesome tip!

You can start your appreciatin' right here:



You can dodge boredom by taking a page from the book (heh) of these Seattle librarians (thanks, Cambridge Room Blog!)



Is that not amazing? Imagine the planning -- if one book didn't fall the way it was plotted out after all those hours of setup? So cool...



Also cool: this sneak peek at the filming of The Maze Runner over at MTV.  The Glade looks just like I pictured it.


Stay tuned for more anti-boredom updates on things you can do here in Cambridge and beyond!

Are you over the line?

Has there ever been a text, Facebook post or tweet that's made you miserable?  Do you think you may have crossed a line with your own digital etiquette?  What about a friend?

MTV's A Thin Line project is debuting a new feature called Over the Line, where you can weigh in on other people's online and texting dilemmas and find out if their problems match yours.  If you've been agonizing over someone flirting, bullying, or "just messin' with you,"  it's worth your time -- go check it out.

Valentine's Day & the safe side of love

Hey guys.  I'm not anti-love, anti-romance, or even anti-Valentine's Day, so long as the baked goods keep coming.  This post is totally pro-love, it's just that sometimes love is freaksome and sometimes it is embarrassing.  But we should all get over it so we can get to the good stuff.  Proceed!

MTV's GYT (Get Yourself Tested) site tells you what you need to know about STDs, getting tested, and having that awkward conversation with your guy or girl.  If it's really love, you both will see beyond the awkwardness and be super-glad you made the effort!  No joke.

On the topic of healthy relationships, there's been a lot of discussion about Chris Brown's appearance at the Grammy Awards.  Some think he's penitent and should be given a second chance.  Some think the aftermath of the 2009 assault is strictly between him and Rihanna.  Some think he shouldn't have been on stage because his performance was garbage.

All worthy conversation topics, so have at it!  Let's just all agree that someone smashing you in the face is not romantic.



OK. If you or anyone you know, male or female, is in an abusive relationship YOU CAN GET HELP.  It won't mean that you are stupid or wrong or don't deserve love. 

Because to finish up with a line from another celebrated Grammy performer, "Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all."  Go eat candy.  And brush your teeth afterwards.
