I’ve been extremely busy this week, which is why I haven’t gotten to writing this post. It’s sad, because this release Tuesday is jam-packed with wonderful things that you should buy. In fact, I’m going to buy THREE albums today when I go to Guestroom in a half-hour. That’s the most I’ve ever purchased with […]

Why October is Awesome…
It’s…October! This is the best month of the whole year. Yeah, December, I said that, and I mean it. October is just a brilliant month. It has Halloween. The temperature is delightfully cool (unless you live here in Oklahoma…but that’s another story.) It has Halloween. The colors are pretty. It has Halloween. There’s Big Red Rivalry. It’s […]
Buy/Die New Releases: September 29
Sometimes the releases of the week just suck. There’s always at least one good CD coming out, but this week’s crop is weak other than the single gem. But, onward. Buy Buy Buy: Strict Joy – Swell Season. Best known as “that guy and girl from that Once movie,” Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova put […]
Come One, Come All.
This past week marked the return of a momentous tradition for Oklahomans across the metro- The state fair came to town. And though I know it sounds pathetic, I absolutely love, LOVE the fair. I’ve lived in this mother-of-all-boring-states since I was an embryo, and the one thing that keeps me believing “Oklahoma is OK” […]
If you can’t beat ’em, outdress ’em.
As a few of you might already know, our beloved Sooners lost to BYU last Saturday. Not cool, OU. NOT COOL. And what’s even less cool is that I was at the game, which was an epically tragic situation if I do say so myself. We spent the afternoon elbowing through a sea of crimson […]
Without further ado.
Alright kids, as I’m new to the world of Unwind this is my introductory “how do you do?” blog post. My name is Abigail Hess, I’m a journalism graduate student, I love dogs, hate spiders, and have never actually been on a long walk on the beach…except for that time I got lost in Pensacola, […]
Link Dropping: FreeRice
Y’know, I get a pretty significant amount of crap for pursuing Professional Writing. Mostly from people who can’t use your/you’re properly, come to think of it, but it still seems like the world at large just doesn’t appreciate word fanatics quite like it used to. The talk now is all about “actually making money” and “having […]
Catching Rays and Hopefully Not Diseases
The days are longer. Skirts are barely legally long enough. Bikinis have taken the place of the need for any real clothing item. Hell, the other day I saw an overweight fifty-ish year old man in dripping neon swim trunks buying a slushy, jerky, and candy bars at the 7 Eleven -gotta love Oklahoma’s small […]
Family–I guess I’ll keep mine
Hi everyone! I know that I missed you all last Monday, but I had a good excuse: I’d just graduated…and let’s just say it took more than Sunday for me to recover from my graduation party. Now it’s been a week, so here’s an update. I’m still terrified about my future, but that fear […]
Looking for a New Direction?
Like other Unwind contributors, this is my last week as a student at OU. I also have my last final on Friday, and plan on wearing my cap and gown to the test because it is right before the University-wide Commencement Ceremony. I’ll let you know how it all pans out next week and show […]
