I have been thinking a lot over the past few weeks about daily interactions with other people.
I have come to the conclusion that it is sad that I get excited when I finally come across a friendly passerby, a gentleman who smiles and holds a door, or a drive through employee that is genuinely pleased to help me.

Last week NBC’s Today Show (@todayshow) tweeted that they were looking for women to submit their pressing relationship questions so the show’s Man Panel could respond on a future show. I’m a super Today Show fan, so Jen, Brittney, our fabulous intern Mallory and I put our heads together and responded with the age-old “Why do guys alienate their girlfriends around their friends?” on Jen’s behalf (she uses Skype, and that was mentioned in the question).

Will networks ever stop using altercations to attract viewers?
MTV’s reality TV series “Jersey Shore” has stirred up controversy since its first episode aired on Dec. 3. Original critics sited the Italian-American cast’s use of the words “guido” and “guidette” as inappropriate and degrading. Last week the criticism took another turn when cast member Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was punched in the face by a male who took her drink at the bar.

In my opinion, the holiday season kicks off today, but Raleigh officials began the celebration last week with the city’s annual Christmas parade.
Unfortunately all anyone seems to be talking about after the event is the glaring absence of Mrs. Claus, who was present in last year’s parade.

Raleigh-based Bailey’s Fine Jewelry made a splash last year when they began leaving “Bailey’s Boxes” around town for locals to find. The boxes were wrapped in the signature’s black and white stripes with a red bow and held pieces of fine jewelry. In a stroke of genius, the Bailey’s team has kicked Finders Keepers up a notch with what they’re referring to as Bailey’s Ultimate Finders Keepers.

Avada Kadavra! Expelliarmus! Crucio! If you are any sort of Harry Potter fan, you have probably shouted these spells before, and you may even know what they do to an opponent. And if you are a serious fan of the movies, you might find yourself chanting these words as you put on your costume and head to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – the sixth installment of the movie series.

Every morning I tune into the Today Show and listen to the doom and gloom while getting ready for work. As they droned on about the latest government bail out this morning, I found myself tuning out and thinking about the more uplifting topic of my weekend plans. However when I heard consumer reporter, Janice Lieberman mention the cheapening of chocolate, I snapped back to attention.

You’ve seen the televised ads and warnings for the past few months, and like most of us, you probably aren’t rushing out to take up a new hobby, protest the United States Government, or ponder about what to do come February when your old “rabbit ears” antenna television set will no longer broadcast your favorite local programs.
