Cosmopolitan

One of the women (GG, I think) bought Cosmopolitan last week, a much better magazine that the British Glamour, and it's been sitting on our kitchen table ever since. I'd occasionally read the sex stories in Cosmo when at the houses of girls I knew in high school, but I'd never before had one sitting in front of me while eating breakfast every day. After looking at the cover for several days while eating Oatmeal Crisp, I realized that just how different Cosmo's headlines are from a magazine like GQ. The main headline reads: "BAD GIRL SEX: 75 Tricks for Nights When You Want to Be Just a Little Naughtier." That's ridiculous - imagine if GQ's headline read "BAD BOY SEX" or "BAD GUY SEX." Another reads "Lauren Conrad Answers Her Haters." Do guys even have haters? Do Brad Pitt or Tommy Lee Jones ever "answer their haters"? The best one is "'A Cougar Stole My Man'." A magazine like GQ or Esquire would never run a headline like "An Older Man Stole My Girlfriend." I don't think that really happens, and if it did, guys definitely wouldn't want to read about it.

Other than buying Cosmo, GG and Genna went through two strange phases last week. One was a obsession with Britney Spears that I still don't understand, but I think is thankfully over. The second was that Genna baked cookies for us all week, winning her our Roommate of the Week Award. I think the two balanced each other out.
