New on Nerve, 5.21.08: Miss Information

This week, Miss Info cracks open a pint of Ben & Jerry's for a recently dumped reader in need of some comfort. First she offers a disclaimer:

How do I get over a heartbreak? Poorly. Same as everybody else.

But she's also got some useful tips:

I guess one thing I consistently do that I haven't observed in everybody else — or at least a good number of people who write me letters — is that I don't have a lot of contact with my exes. Interacting with them right after the breakup is bad news, I've found. It always inflicts pain on one or more parties. When it doesn't, it's a temporary sort of pleasure that you have regrets about the next morning, week, etc. as the complications set in. Like eating McDonald's.

Read the whole column here, you poor lovelorn sods.

Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day

It’s Ben & Jerry’s annual Free Cone Day! Yes, that’s right, it’s exactly as it sounds…you go to Ben & Jerry’s, you get a free ice cream cone. I’ve never gone, because (foolishly!) I thought the lines would take forever. But now half the Nerve staff has returned, happily doing some post-cone finger-licking, and explaining that the lines aren’t that long because, dammit, the B&J staff are efficient.

Color me jealous. The only thing I can do is spread the word (you have until 8 p.m. tonight!) and share this little Indian flick with a nice ice cream sex scene…
