Sheena Parveen
Putting it bluntly, NBC 10's new weather girl, Sheena Parveen, is the most beautiful woman to ever grace our television sets. In other words, she is hotter than Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz. Sorry, Glenn.		 Alycia Lane
The perfect counterpart to the formerly unexcelled Larry Mendte, Alicia Lane has since fallen off our radar after exposing Larry as the manipulative conniver he really is. Now she's anchoring in New York or something and, though we hate to admit it, it's time for us to move on.
Dr. Dog
New album, new reason to blow your budget on tickets for their March show(s) at the Electric Factory. Oh yeah, be sure to catch the Philly group perform on Conan on February 8th!		 Local Cover Bands
We get it; you don't want to spend the time and energy it takes to write an original album. That's fine, really. But enough with the mid-90s covers; I haven't listened to Hootie and the Blowfish for fifteen years and I don't plan on starting any time soon.
Having a Signature Drink
Sometimes, you go to a bar where they don't hand you a list of 50+ things and tell you that no, they don't have vodka and yes, everyone else in the establishment knows what an Old Fashioned is. Have a go-to drink order in your mental queue so you don't look point at the nearest frilly drink and say you'll take whatever it is that's being served out of a pineapple nearby.		 Ordering These Cocktails
There are some drinks that one should not order under any circumstance--and Pina Coladas are not the only one.
The Super Bowl Commercials
Between the rumored Ferris Bueller cameo and the buzz over whatever Bud Light Platinum has planned for their debut, we're more excited about what advertisers have come up with for this year's game.		 The Super Bowl
Watching two teams we hate battle for a championship until all hours of the night is just not very much fun. If our boss gave us the next day off, our attention could probably be bought... you can email editorial@aycmedia.com to help state our case.
BeerMo Bottle Mustache
Drinking beer is pretty cool. Drinking beer that gives you an instant mustache is definitely cooler. Buy a pack of these nifty little accessories for your next party and find out what the hipsters have been swooning over all this time..		 Mustache Finger Tattoos
Why did this start? Good job; we can't wait to see how cool this looks when paired up with your brand new engagement ring, which you'll inevitably post photos of on Facebook.
Pinterest
Between managing your Wordpress and Tumblr blogs, figuring out the best photo for your Facebook Timeline and trying to manage all 1500+ bookmarks in your "cool things" category on Firefox, things on the web can get overwhelming. Pinterest allows you to make digital boards (called "pinning") to contain everything cool you find online. It's basically organized chaos.		 Scrapbooking
Or blogging about your kids. Both of these things are equally indicative of the boring life you're leading. 
Everyone's Mixtape
Remember when you'd record songs off the radio, hoping to catch Spacehog's "In the Meantime" just after the DJ on y100 finished announcing it? This is kind of like that, except you can pull songs straight from YouTube, SoundCloud or Vimeo with a drag and drop motion. And, your playlists are still limited to 60, 90 or 120 minutes (just like a cassette tape!) instead of the 3.5 days worth of music you've got saved in iTunes.		 Turntable.fm
We still love Turntable, don't take this the wrong way. The problem starts when you allow your co-workers to put their love of Ben Folds and Phish before the well-being of the group. Related: We wish we were excited about anything as much as aforementioned co-worker is about Ben Folds Five getting back together. This is 2012, right?
