One of my many claims to fame is winning the Rolling Stone College Journalist of the Year award for Entertainment, thanks to a profile of Philip Glass. (I also was a finalist in the criticism category for a piece on the sudden explosion of hit singles on the album charts, an 80s phenomenon now taken to a new level by High School Musical.)
Now Rolling Stone is turning that annual contest into a reality series. Suffice to say, if they were casting that show, I probably wouldn't have made the cut (actually, a gay conservative might have had some appeal to them). I can't help thinking my one chance at TV stardom was blown over bad timing. If only I were still in college....
Still in college? It's not as easy as you might think -- Sam and I both held out for as long as we could.

I thought you were still in college. Don't you get up at 11 and sit around all day watching movies and reading books? Sounds like college to me.
