Make you work hard. Once upon a time, when I was a wee assistant arts editor on my college paper, the Opinions Section had a weekly "Cheers and Jeers" column. With my impending move, I have become nostalgic. Thus, I bring you my own little "Cheers and Jeers" offering because there is nothing more important than my opinion.

Cheers!

• Buffy worship continues.



• Tom Perrotta worship heats up (scroll down to Item #2).



• Merry Christmas to you, too, Britney Spears. I'll take acne over vajayjay any day.



• So over The Gibson and The Lohan.



• I just received my first business-related holiday gift! I got a gift pack of dried fruit, nuts, chocolate and jelly beans. People try to bribe me with candy. I'm finally important.

Jeers!

• Yay for new discoveries in HIV prevention, but was this really necessary? I doubt that it was.



• Oh fuck, that's disgusting. I think I'm scarred for life.



• Anyone else getting a distinct "Hiroshima Mon Amour" meets "Schindler's List" vibe from Cate Blanchett in "The Good German?"



• No snow! How am I supposed to go skiing?



• Christmas is on a Monday this year, meaning I have to work Tuesday, meaning that my annual post-Christmas tradition of raiding the Saks Fifth Avenue Day-After-Christmas sale is ruined! Thanks a lot, Baby Jesus.
