Much ado about nothing

·

SoFA celebrates artist Robert Baines’ new exhibit with opening reception

·

For someone who is not an art school student, it may be hard to imagine that being a professional gold and metalsmith artist is a wise career move. And it’s not, unless the idea of spending all day indulging in the creative process and showing the resulting work in major capitals all over the world sounds appealing.

Back to nature

·

This weekend, I went to a camping party. Escaping from the revelry for a little while, I found a quiet place, listened to the sounds of the woods around me, stared up at a night sky packed full of brilliant stars and marveled at the wonders of nature.

Who you callin’ a hipster?

·

I gave up on the notion of defining myself within a subculture when I ultimately realized that punk is in fact, dead. I was 13 in Alabama – nobody gave me the memo. So I spent a year of my life refusing to listen to anything that wasn’t “punk rock.” Subsequently, I’m really into all pop music that came out around that time.

Freeze tag

·

If the Weather Channel were a religion, I’m pretty sure I’d be its L. Ron Hubbard. I’m absolutely addicted to it. The first thing I do every morning in the fall is check it to see how ridiculously cold that day’s weather will be so that I can don the appropriate number of layers of long underwear for the rest of the day.

Copping out

Being a resident assistant is a tough balancing act to pull off. It’s never easy trying to be a friend and an authority figure at the same time. It’s kind of like reconciling totalitarianism with Mr. Rogers. For example, how can a college student - not much older or sometimes even younger than his or her residents - turn them in to be punished for breaking dorm policies or doing something blatantly illegal and still maintain their trust?
