Turning your home into your getaway

Women – Why is that whenever you get home, it still seems like there\'s work to be done? With these six suggestions from iVillage.com, you ladies will have something to look forward to when you\'re on your drive home from work. I\'m a guy and that bedroom set looks insanely comfortable, but for some reason I can\'t stop humming the theme to I Dream of Jeannie now...

Outdoor luxury furniture

Shopping – Just in time for the beginning of summer, Luxist.com has a list of the Rolexes of patio furniture. Since Luxist\'s focus is the \"finer things in life\" don\'t expect to find these items at your local Wal-Mart Super Center, but if you\'re willing to shell out a little extra, this is the way to go. I think I\'m just going to enjoy the summer on my $4.95 plastic patio chair that should have been thrown out years ago.

Easy truffles for Mom

Family – Don't forget, Mother's Day is right around the corner. Even Moms have Moms, so everyone needs to be prepared. Even to this day, I've found that making or doing something for my Mom is normally much more satisfying and well-received than just buying her something. That's why this year my Mom is getting these easy to make truffles. She's crazy for chocolate, a trait that is apparently genetic.

Attack of the 100ft Eva Longoria!

Men – Maxim celebrated 100 issues earlier this month by constructing a 75ft by 110ft replica of Eva Longoria\'s January 2005 cover and placed it in the Las Vegas Desert 35 minutes south of Las Vegas near the Nevada/California state line. That\'s a lotta Longoria. Is there such thing as too much Eva? I doubt it.

What is masculinity?

Men – I stumbled across this article about two weeks ago and it\'s just really resonated with me, so much so that I have it printed out and posted on my wall \'o quotes. It\'s a father giving advice to his son on how being a man doesn\'t necessarily mean being a frat boy, and how masculinity doesn\'t mean macho. It\'s like the Cliff Notes version of how to be chivalrous.

Scientology versus Santa Clara County

Religion – The Church of Scientology has filed suit against the Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children\'s Services for almost half a billion dollars. The religion claims that millions of dollars in false claims were filed for abused and neglected children that just didn\'t exist. After reading through this, I\'m not exactly sure why the Church of Scientology was the one to file suit.

Love? Maybe later...

Love & Personals – According to a new study done by the Pew Research Center, most young adults (18-29) are putting their careers ahead of their lovelives. Only a third polled said that they were in a commited, and of the remaining percentage, more weren\'t looking for a relationship than than those that were. As a man-child myself, I can certainly see this in people my age-- most would rather know that they\'re able to take care of someone when that opportunity arises then go half-heartedly into or be \"tied down\" by a relationship.

Blender\'s 50 worst things that happened to music

Music – Blender magazine presents their list of the 50 most unforgivable things that have happened to music. Everything from Kevin Federline and Fred Durst to lighweight aircraft (think Big Bopper) and AIDS. My personal favorite is Number 11: The phrase \"You really have to see them live.\" I hate it when people tell me that.

Islamic Prayer Widget

Religion – This is a handy little widget for those that have Yahoo\'s Widget Engine. If you provide your latitude and longitude (which can be found at www.islamicfinder.org), it will alert you when it is time for the day\'s prayers. The author is very active with the project, and it seems he is constantly making updates. Right now it looks as though it\'s only available for Windows users.

Create your very own Bugatti and dream a little dream

Autos – Bugatti\'s new website lets you customize your very own Veyron supercar. By customizing I mean changing the colors, because, let\'s face it, would you really want to change anything else about a 1,001hp, W16 (that\'d be two V8s)street legal supercar with a top speed of around 250mph? Yea, neither would I. My personal favorite color combo-- Grey Metallic and Italien Red (go Buckeyes!)

Find pictures of singles close to you

Love & Personals – With this new combination of the popular online photo rating system Hot or Not and the Google Maps system, you can now browse the pictures of Hot or Not users based on their current location. You can plug in your own zip code and view those users that are available to meet around you. There are a couple of other similar maps out there, but this one has a few advantages over it\'s counterparts, such as its ability to retain your settings.

Scrubs is coming back

Television – In what is quite possibly the best TV rumor this week, Michael Ausiello\'s TV Guide weekly column speculates that NBC will be announcing any day now that Scrubs is returning next season for its sixth season. Again, NBC hasn\'t made an official announcement yet, but Ausiello expects it very soon and is rarely wrong about matters such as these. This is one of my favorite shows on, so I\'m just ecstatic at this news.
