HOT TRACK

Who: Spoon
What: Album "Transference"
Where: iTunes... would you like a map?
Why: This is their 7th (yes, SEVENTH) studio album and it's pretty stellar. 7th time's the charm right? No, but really, with tracks like "Got Nuffin" which hit radio late last year and others like "Who Makes Your Money" it's a great release and definitely worth previewing! It makes great study music or just chilling music... probably won't be hearing it on the dance floor though.

HOT FILM

Who: James Cameron.
What: Avatar 3D
Where: Everywhere, we're talking 27 showings a day at your local theater.
Why: You haven't seen it yet? Get off your ass in front of your computer screen and get it in a seat in front of an IMAX screen!

HOT CAUSE

Who: Red Cross and the Haiti Earthquake Victims
What: An absolute tragedy has occured in Haiti and it's our turn to help out!
Where: text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross efforts
Why: Because I know you're texting 235234 other messages today, so send one out for a HOT CAUSE!

HOT USE

Who: CeeVee
What: Online resume site that gives you a unique URL to send to employers
Where: http://ceevee.com/
Why: With thousands of online job search, career planning, and future dominating sites, it's a regular jungle out there! This is FREE, reliable, and you can connect with facebook. It doesn't get much better than that!

HOT SHOT

Who: Sex with an Alligator
What: sweet and sour mix, Midori melon liqueur, 1/2 oz raspberry liqueur, 1/2 oz Jagermeister
Why: Ok, ok - I'm not advocating bestiality or anything, what you do with your "free time" is your business, BUT I am advocating sex with this particular alligator. This is a shot that no joke is a special at a certain campus bar around here, and it's WILD.
