Here’s the quick December 25th movie release rundown: Sherlock Holmes – Robert Downey Jr. looks brilliant in this renovated Holmes tale. Jude Law is the perfect actor to keep up with Downey’s Sherlock-ian charisma. This tale is a lot darker and a little more adult than what the trailer lets on to it being. […]

Holiday Madness!
Don’t get me wrong, people. I like you. Most all of you. I appreciate you all so much, in fact, that I’m going to spend five laborious minutes here to copy-paste a few tiny links. See how hard it is to be a blogger? Madness! Seriously, though. Click these. For the gamer in your life […]
An Old Way to Relax
Let’s talk old school today. Let’s talk Disney. December has been a long month hasn’t it? It’s been busy and it’s been stressful. Dead week, and now Finals week, and next week is Christmas. Yikes. So much to do! So, what is a good way to wind down? Disney movies. And I mean the old […]
The End Approaches
…in about six hours or so, whenever this last final paper is due. I love you all, folks, but a student’s gotta do what a student’s gotta do. See you next week!
Things That Probably Shouldn’t Be
My posting as of late has been sparse due to the relentless nature of life (not to mention my own work ethic–about 70 percent of which could be called whimsical at best), but it’s all finally calming down again. All of this leads me into something somewhat unorthodox for my section of Unwind, since all […]
Nobody’s Pinocchio
For the most part, I consider myself to be a responsible human being. I feed myself, I clothe myself, I pay my bills on time (save for one forgetful incident 2 years ago that will forever mar my otherwise perfect credit score), and I exist in the general population with relative ease and appropriateness. However. […]
Top Five Wednesday: Top Albums of 2009
It’s that time again, chums. It’s time to objectively decided who ruled the most this year. I always find these lists amusing, because it seems that their sole purpose is to create argument. They’re especially ridiculous because it’s literally impossible to listen to all the music released in a year; many people just glom onto […]
Dead Week? Pfffffft.
Man. I thought I was going to be all clever, here, until I saw Abigail scooped me on it by at least two days. Thanks. 🙁 So what’s the deal with Dead Week? Despite the name, it’s consistently been the most hellish week ever for something like eight semesters now. This year? Two massive research […]
It is Time.
Well here we are, children. Dead week. Hell week. The one week in the semester when all the epic date parties and wild nights on campus corner seem tragically dwarfed by the fact that every single one of your professors is trying to kill you. Who cares that you’ve had the time of your life […]
Folk Friday: Aaron Hale
Ah, our time together is drawing short. As I am a December graduate (woo!) I’ll be taking my leave of my post as your music critic in the next few weeks. Do not fear; there will be another who carries the torch. But until then, I will continue to regale you with folksters young and […]
