Spring Break
On a normal day masturbation, bad Freddie Mercury impersonations, a six-foot alcoholic rabbit, and outlandish political awareness don't all fit together, but then again you don't see Green Day everyday. The "American Idiot" Tour placed punk's premier showstoppers back on the stage where they belong, and this time they brought a few friends.
I can't remember the last time I was so enthusiastic about a CD that I got for free from the Triangle. I was a bit skeptical when Who Killed the Zutons, the new debut CD by a band called (duh) The Zutons arrived at the offices. We tend to get some strange, strange stuff in the mail.
With every new holiday season a whole new series of Christmas films hits the theaters, poised to win the affection of us all. Unfortunately, the majority of them usually fall short. Clichéd plots, stereotypical characters, and slapstick comedy make up much of what has become the Christmas genre.
Ray Charles (1930-2004) was a great man, an innovator that irrevocably changed the way we regard music, all the while fighting constant controversy to achieve his goals. But he was also human, and the biographical film "Ray" presents that without compromise.
Happy Halloween! Why not pay $15 to wait a half-hour in a line to go on a haunted house tour made for children, whose history is more interesting and spooky than the actual Halloween tradition. The Terror Behind the Walls show is located in the former Eastern State Penitentiary, on 22nd Street and Fairmount Park Ave, (about five blocks away from the Art Museum).
I arrived three days earlier in London than the rest of my classmates with a close friend from Drexel. We inspected Piccadilly Circus and the sites in that area. I was amazed by the large digital screen and by how bright the advertisements were. I sent some postcards from Spain, thanks to the help of a friendly teller at an exchange booth, and was on my way to my first experience of the area.
