Beware of sex-soliciting senators at Union Station August 30, 2007

This story about Larry Craig is something that I find hilarious, puzzling, frustrating, depressing, and a little bit hopeful all at the same time.
I first heard about the story when I heard about it on CNN. They showed a clip of Larry Craig going out onto his podium and giving a press conference speech about [...]

On the other hand: Girls, Guys, and taxi cabs August 28, 2007

I think that whenever guys and girls talk about how hard they have it, they should both calm down and realize that each gender has its advantages. I think I’ve come to the conclusion that guys and girls have it about even. If a feminist group is reading this and gets upset at this assertion, [...]

Film roundup August 28, 2007

Where is everyone else on this blog? Anyway, I was in Europe and fell far behind on all the movies that have come out. That’s kind of what this over saturated summer makes you feel like with so many back-to-back films lined up in a row. In fact, I’ve only seen four films since I [...]

The Smartcard Dilemna August 21, 2007

It’s safe to say that since the introduction of the Smarttrip card my life as a metro commuter has gotten significantly easier.
Among the advantages:-I don’t have to carry around exact change all the time when I board a bus-I don’t have to wait in line to get a ticket-I save time by not having to [...]

Outdoor Film Screenings August 19, 2007

One great thing I’ve discovered a little bit this summer as a movie watcher are the outdoor film series that have been showing throughout the D.C. Area. Festivals like Screen on the Green or the NIH Outdoor Film Festival offer people a chance to see films in a less claustrophobic setting than a movie theater [...]

Poor Record Labels… Right… August 16, 2007

Alright.
First of all – Rolling Stone? Like they haven’t contributed to the diluting of reputable music through their support of flash-in-the-pan “artists”. Of course they’re feeding you information about how this generation is mistreating record labels, they thrive on the same cheap, money hogging tendencies that the crank-out-the-club-hits labels do. Any media that puts Lindsey [...]

Does our generation even know what we’re doing to the record industry? August 11, 2007

I read an article from Rolling Stone recently (found here: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/15137581/the_record_industrys_decline/2) that makes me even more aware if how our generation seems to have lost a sense of right or wrong in terms of artistic copyright theft. We all understand it’s wrong to steal a sweater from a department store but due to years of [...]

PA- based indie rockers pass through the city tomorrow night and you should just drop everything and go see them. Plenty of harmonica and a dash of accordion. Promise.

upcoming scary movies that will be worth checking out this fall August 1, 2007

Today’s blog is about the horror movie that look interesting and will be worth checking out.
1. Halloween (coming out August 31)- Directed by Rob Zombie! This movie looks like it will be one of the best, if not the best horror movie this year. The reason is because it is a re imaging of the [...]
