Cinematic emo

·

Cinematic Sunrise’s debut, A Coloring Storybook And Long-Playing Record sees two dudes from Chiodos explore their pop sensibilities, armed with more piano keys, soaring hooks, and charm. And for a couple guys that spend their day jobs writing songs with titles like “Is It Progression If a Cannibal Uses a Fork?,” the change is damn near seamless.

TV upfront report

Last week was a big week for television networks. Throughout the week, the five major networks debuted their fall 2008 schedules for advertisers.

Eroding free speech

·

Everyone knows grandparents love nothing more than showing off pictures of their grandchildren. And while grandparents are particularly fanatic about kiddy photos, who doesn’t love to see a good naked-baby picture? In fact, I distinctly recall that throughout my childhood, Wal-Mart offered the adorable “baby-bath-bucket” photo shoot complete with rubber ducky so parents could commission professionals to take their baby’s naked pictures and have them printed in glossy mass quantities.

I-What?

If you’re confused by the new RPS meal plan, you aren’t alone. The name change from “meal points” to “I-BUCKS” is only the beginning. In essence there are two options: Cream and Crimson. Cream is available only to students, Crimson to everyone else. The difference between these plans is that those on the Cream plan will receive 60 percent discounts on all purchases, while participants on the Crimson plan will receive discounts of only 25 percent. In purchasing a plan, operational costs are paid up front. The larger the plan purchased, the lower the percentage paid in operational costs.
