Single Valentine's Day

So, it's that time of year again. That time when everything changes to pink and red. Little paper hearts and cutout cupids stick to store windows and the silver wrappers on Hershey's Kisses become a red shiny color. Flower shops are overrun with orders and candy stores stock up on those little pastel hearts, each engraved with their own hot pink message, urging the receiver to "be mine" or telling them that they are "hot stuff." A time of year to show your significant other that you love them.

Exploding with soul

When the John Wilkes Booze band jams out, guitarist Jason Groth yells and slaps out hard cords, singer Seth Mahern squeals like a woman and the drums, bass and organ flare heavy all over the place. These soul brothers play their hearts out without taking breaks between songs as they sweat in bassist Chris Barth's tiny basement.

Kid Rock has little to be 'Cocky' about

The musical realm of Kid Rock is a place where white trash reigns supreme, intelligence is non-existent and it's cool to wear wife-beaters and derby hats.

Be film smart, like me

Don't you hate it when you're watching a movie and you see someone recognizable like O'Bannion in "Dazed and Confused" but can't figure out who it is? What about seeing a great movie trailer at the theaters with "hotty" Josh Hartnett, and you want to see it again and again? And don't you ever just want to know what a film is all about and who is in it months before it's released, like who is playing the evil cyborg in "Terminator 3"? Well, these questions can all be answered quickly and quietly with one tool, the Internet. Yes, the Internet has more uses than downloading copyrighted songs, playing online euchre and looking at porn. Here are three sites that are the best when it comes to knowing anything and everything about film.

Everyone can use a good LAUGH

At a recent Full Frontal Comedy show in the Indiana Memorial Union, the room breaks into laughter as audience members yell suggestions to the comedians on stage for an improvisational sketch. The performers are laughing right along with their crowd, and the room is full of energy.
