For Daphne…
Posted by aranya | Filed under Uncategorized
Early yesterday morning my aunt Daphne passed away at her home in La Pine, Oregon. She was my dad’s baby sister and she had just turned 60 in February. It wasn’t unexpected or sudden—she’d been battling a rare liver and lung cancer for a while and unfortunately, as happens all too often, the cancer ultimately [...]

Posted by aranya | Filed under Uncategorized
So I’ve been writing a regular column of sorts for Playboy.com. Thanks to my many kick-ass, forthcoming girlfriends, I have been able to gather a lot of great personal anecdotes and feminine insight into various sexual topics. The first topic I tackled was oral sex—namely, what do guys do to turn girls off to it, [...]
Interview with Perry Farrell
Posted by aranya | Filed under Uncategorized
I’m afraid I’ve been pretty negligent about posting my articles this year. Subsequently, I’m going to add a few that are a bit dated. First up, my interview with the legendary musician, Perry Farrell. I chatted with him for Playboy.com just prior to last summer’s Lollapalooza, and he was a very cool cat all around. [...]
Major Celebrity News Launches At Last
Posted by aranya | Filed under Uncategorized
For quite a while now, my friend Sarah and I have been endlessly amused by the daily celebrity “headlines” that make their way across the Internet.

Justin Timberlake Does It Again
Posted by aranya | Filed under Uncategorized
I’ve always been a huge fan of Justin Timberlake. I mean, it’s kind of hard not to be—especially these days (meaning, now that he’s no longer in a boy band and wearing matching denim outfits with his train wreck of an ex, Britney Spears). He is musically gifted, can dance like a mo’fo’ and is [...]
The Ugg-ly Truth
Posted by aranya | Filed under Uncategorized
When it comes to people’s opinions on Uggs, there’s not much middle ground. There are basically two camps: Haters and Fanatics. For the better part of the past decade I have been a staunch member of the first group, however, I recently had a change of heart. So it’s time for me to ‘fess up: [...]
All I Really Need to Know I Learned From My Dad and Conan O’Brien
Posted by aranya | Filed under Uncategorized
So alas, Conan O’Brien has quit as host of The Tonight Show for real. On Friday night he hosted his final show and gave a very heartfelt farewell speech. His parting words were humble, grateful and inspiring, and he closed out with a plea to his younger viewers urging them not to let ConanLeno-Gate 2010 [...]

I’m Finding Science In Everything!
Posted by aranya | Filed under Uncategorized
Last Wednesday I went to see the Medill Magazine Publishing Project presentation and was taken down memory lane. Even though it was just last fall, t seems like eons ago that my and my 14 classmates were slaving away to produce Sci Q magazine and the Sci Q website. I was impressed with the spring [...]
