Toga!
“We got to do something…You know what we are gonna do? Toga Party!” I’ve always thought this line from 1978’s Animal House was the perfect embodiment of a college weekend, toga or not, but sadly I’d never experienced the joy of such a bash, that is until this weekend. That’s right, this Friday I went […]
When you’re a Hero…
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a hero? How will you be treated? Who will talk to you? Who won’t talk to you? Will you become the villain the minute you do something that isn’t hero-like? And why exactly are you a hero to begin with? Well, here’s the book for you.
The Pink Elephant Cafe
While I was originally attracted to the Pink Elephant because of its surprisingly ostentatious pink exterior and Obama campaign signs, my excitement to try this new lunchtime café on Main Street only increased upon visiting their myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/pinkelephant2008) and learning that produce is purchased each morning (no freezer on these premises!) to make their […]
OnLive: Dead in the Water?
“…this service has the potential to completely change the way games are played.” (IGN UK) “Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, look out. Your traditional video game console business model may be in danger.” (CNET) Honestly? I don’t know what to think.
Facebook: Friend or Foe?
Over two days of withdrawals…I really don’t know how I made it. I tried to visualize my happy place and imagine that I was standing in Dior looking at rows and rows of perfect high heels, but it didn’t help. Out of habit I sat down at my computer and logged onto the internet only to […]
Music for Life
Do you have more than 200, 300, 400, or 500 songs on your iPod (iTunes), mp3 player, Zen, or computer? Do some of these songs date back to your middle school years? Do you even know what songs you have? Well, here’s a way a entertain yourself (and maybe even creep yourself out) and rediscover […]
OU on YouTube (and Vimeo!)
In October 2008, Web Communications launched OU’s official YouTube channel with 3 videos. Since then, we’ve developed two web series, REEL Students and Why OU? We also shoot other fun stuff like the Couch Restaurants Renovation and Fill the Trolley. By June 2009, we’ll be over 100 videos! Here’s what we’re working on… REEL Students: Every […]
Kongregate: Everyone Likes Free Games, Right?
Spring Break is here. This is awesome. Sun and fun with friends, nine glorious days of freedom from the daily rigors of schoolwork — and the chance to sleep, yes, so many opportunities to spend your new found liberty curled up under the covers. But what about the free time? Those hours not spent snoring […]
Lists Aren’t Just For Groceries
Ice cold drink in hand-hold the lemon-the sun heats my skin as I take a break from lounging by the pool, only to sneak a peak at the five good looking volleyball players…no surfers…no volleyball players headed my way. Oh, sorry!! You caught me daydreaming. So any suggestions…should I have gone with surfers? That’s right; […]
