I’m watching “Say Yes to the Dress” right now, while working on some homework and goofing off on the internet. (Hey Generation Y is the multitasking generation, no?) I have just one question. Who pisses away $7000 on a wedding dress? Save that money for the honeymoon. Or house. Or really anything except an icky [...]

I have several relatives/friends with new(ish) babies. Good for them. I like babies. However, I have just one pet peeve. I’m really tired of the professional picture overload. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for taking as many pictures of your kids as possible-with your OWN camera, that is. In this day and age [...]

Today while fooling around on the computer and starting my morning routine, I happened to catch a few minutes of a show called “World’s Strictest Parents”. The premise of the show is for two “out-of-control” (or normal, if you prefer) teenagers are sent to live with a strict family for a week so that they [...]

My sincerest apologies to you if you like the following show that I am about to heavily criticize. Have you ever seen the commercials for that show “Army Wives”? Or seen the show? I see the commercials all the time, because I watch Lifetime a lot. I saw the show once, and that was enough [...]

What would YOU do if you suspected someone was talking about your, um decolletage, IN FRONT OF YOU? I shall set the scene for you. D and I attended a party recently, and a woman was there that I do not particularly care for. I am always nice and civil to her when I actually [...]

We at Burning The Souffle, Inc. try our damndest never to offend anyone, but golly gee, there are just sometimes when you feel a good old fashioned get-up-on-your-soapbox sermon coming on. This is one of those times. First, let me preface by [...]

So, I’ve been getting a lot of spam in my email here lately. What pisses me off? The spam is coming to my university email, which just hits a little too close to home. The kicker? I got one spam today that addressed me BY NAME offering me a “job” filling out online surveys and [...]

I thought the point of commercials was to make you actually WANT to buy the shit they’re advertising, not the opposite. Clearly, I was wrong, and my point was proven tonight. On a commercial for a very popular “digestive” yogurt, two women are seen discussing the holidays. It went something like this*: *Disclaimer: I am [...]

I love shopping. However, I do not love shopping on black Friday, so I do not go. I know I could save money and blah, blah, blah, but I really don’t care to get up at 3:00 in the morning to fight the crowds over a pair of pajama pants or a cordless drill. So [...]

Why do teenage boys think that axe body spray smells so good? And, even more mysteriously, why do teenage girls think it smells good? Personally, I think that crap smells like air freshner for your car, but hey I am not a teenager, so what do I know? Confession: When I WAS a teenage teenyboppin [...]
