Free movie night at the Meacham Auditorium in the Union. 2012 will show at 4, 7, 10 and midnight tonight (February 26th). This movie shows us the end of the world with politics and the average Joe trying to survive. We’ve all heard the Mayan legend/prediction/interpretation of 2012, and we may or not genuinely experience […]

All About the Benjamins
Gamers know that their particular hobby is always an expensive one. The agony we’ll be inflicting on our wallets throughout 2010, however, is of spectacular proportions – God of War 3? Final Fantasy XIII? Mass Effect 2? Bioshock 2? Big names require big budgets. And while I’ve already raved about the service cheapassgamer renders for […]
Beauty and Loss
In the past, I’ve written a bit about my love of all things Leonard Cohen. He’s one of those artists whose work is so profound and immense that it’s hard to even scratch the surface. Most know him as a musician and a poet, but few acknowledge the accomplishments of his prose, particularly his two […]
Sick.
I believe the title to be self-explanatory. And if you were curious, I find the fact that I can’t breathe or smell or sleep or eat a valid excuse for not blogging this week. Theretofore, I bid you good day. Until next week… Much love.
Shutter Island – See It
Martin Scorsese latest movie, Shutter Island, is a dark, devious, punch-in-the face brain tease. And it’s spectacular. This intense psychological thriller will leave you shaken, shocked, thinking and talking. The wicked atmosphere alone of this movie will leave an impression, let alone the plot and characters. From the opening scene, where you meet a sea-sick […]
Semi-blog: Plants Vs. Zombies
Okay, okay – this is the last time I’ll mention it. Promise. My obsession with Popcap’s latest and greatest game is well–documented on Unwind, but this last bit of news warrants delivery, folks, so swallow that righteous disgust and buckle up for some math. 20 > 3. This is true. $20 < $3, however, when […]
Beauty and Decay
This week, instead of reviewing a book, I wanted to talk a little bit about one particular author: Cormac McCarthy. McCarthy has been one of my favorite novelists for a number of years and with his recent explosion of fame (thanks to his Pulitzer for The Road and the film adaptation of No Country for […]
Happy Fake, Construction Paper Heart Day
What? What about my title?? I’m sorry, I just don’t like Valentine’s Day. Maybe it’s because I never felt I got enough Valograms in high school, or maybe it’s because 99% of the Valentine’s Days I’ve experienced have been either A) depressingly lonely or B) depressingly awful. (I won’t go into the details, but I’ve […]
Long title, but worth it…
Today sees the movie release of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief. Now, this movie has received a lot of hype (but clever hype, seeing how it’s just the same trailer reformatted over and over again). As a rule of thumb, movies that receive a lot of hype tend to run sour in […]
Link Dropping: Dropbox
Say that title aloud. Kinda nifty, isn’t it? I don’t run this sort of thing too regularly, so a little clarification might come in handy: Link Dropping posts are all about a nifty site on the ‘net that you should be aware of, one usually deemed important by yours truly and thus completely ignored by […]
