Kurt’s Blog: See, Iowa Doesn’t Party That Hard

See, It’s Not That Bad

Remember when everyone went nuts about Iowa being ranked as the #1 Party School in America? Well…let’s remember who did that study…the Princeton Review. Tell me quick, do you consider the Princeton Review the #1 authority in partying? Absolutely not.

Playboy though? Now, THEY know a thing or two about partying…and you know what, their Top 10 Party School List came out…and Iowa didn’t even crack the Top 10.

Crisis adverted. Done & done. Playboy saves the day again!

University of Iowa PR meetings have been canceled today. Tah-dah!

The Trophy Wife

I don’t know if my wife enjoyed this show as much as I did…but I thought it was funny and has some good potential. I question whether or not my wife liked it as much as I did…I don’t think she has quite the crush on Malin Akerman like I do.

The Michael J. Fox Show

Tonight, on NBC, it’s the premiere of the Michael J. Fox Show…as an unabashed fan of MJF, this is must-DVR for me. It’ll just be nice to see him back on screen…whether big or small.

This Made Me LOL…All 5 Times I’ve Watched It

AWESOME is as AWESOME does!
