Choosing the Right Patagonia for You

In a town like New Canaan, choosing clothing can get complicated. It’s important to know when the mixing too many JCrew and Vineyard pieces together can make you look like a Ken doll, and when your WASPy-casual Burberry cardigan goes too far. As much as I appreciate a good patchwork belt and Jack Wills back pack, it is imperative that we incorporate more athletic pieces into our wardrobe, every once in a while. That’s when we go to Patagonia.
Life Lessons from Liz Lemon: The 30 Rock Series Finale

Reporter
Last night, 30 Rock broke my heart and aired its final episode. However, the hour long special did not disappoint. The episode chronicles the Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) and the rest of the cast’s final episode of TGS. Lemon, who is reluctant to leave her job at NBC to become a stay-at-home mom, struggles with her husband Criss (James Marsden) to adjust to her career transition. Jack (Alec Baldwin), Tracy (Tracy Morgan), and Jenna (Jane Krakowski) also grapple with the ending of their show’s seven year run. Simultaneously, Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) is enjoying in his new position as the president of NBC. Ironically, the ending of TGS, the show-within-a-show, parallels the actual fate of the 30 Rock. Ultimately, the show ends with Lemon’s great granddaughter pitching the idea of 30 Rock to an ageless Kenneth Parcell in the future, Jetsons-esque hovercrafts and all.
Balls Super Bowl Preview

After a long five month season, only two teams remain in the NFL. The Ravens, after an inspiring three game run through the AFC side of the bracket, will take on the 49ers, a team that overcame a seventeen point deficit in the conference championship game to reach the Super Bowl. Both teams are very similar, with very good front 7’s and versatile offenses. I think that the 9ers are the more talented team, but the Ravens have played so well since the playoffs began, and they’re pretty talented themselves. Something interesting to note in this game is that the coaches, Jim Harbaugh and John Harbaugh, are brothers. That has undoubtedly led to a number of articles in the media written about their childhood, and a number of articles written about their parents. It’s certainly leads to an interesting scenario, but it’s more of a side note in this game. Both Harbaugh’s are very good coaches, and it will be interesting to see how they go against each other tactically.
