This title is a bit disingenuous, since I’ll be answering several question — but they’re short enough that it’s not an unreasonable thing to do. Plus, I’m just certain that you are continually hungry for more more MORE of my thoughts and opinions. And so (I say benevolently) you shall have them. Here they are. [...]

KBR, a company controlled by defense contractor Halliburton, has become well-known over the past few weeks. The reputation it has gained is not a positive one, though. On July 28, 2005, one of their employees by the name of Jamie Leigh Jones was drugged and gang raped while on assignment in Iraq. Jones began working [...]

Week 8: BYU vs. TCU This time of year, when Provo is starting to get a little chilly, many BYU students will take a trip down to San Diego to enjoy a nice little vacation. It’s still very warm down there and there is plenty to do. Instead of going to Southern California to take [...]

Here’s a list, courtesy of Vanessa Oler: Friday, October 23rd: EDP’s Ghosts N’ Whatever @ Southworth on Center St, 8:30pm-2am ($3/$2) Hallofunkaween @ The Rail in SLC, [...]

Dreams are predominantly crafted by the subconscious. Yeah, okay, you knew that. But here’s something most of us probably don’t really think about — the subconscious is your inner-child. When something makes us feel like a kid again, it’s causing the deepest parts of us to respond. That murky, unknown world of under-thought starts dumping [...]

The much beleaguered Britney Spears has reason to celebrate this week: for only the third time in her career, she’ll have a song debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is called “3” and addresses the singer’s desire to participate in a threesome. Risqué, yes, but also not surprising given [...]

You know film students. They’re obnoxious people who waste all their time over-analyzing things, don’t have real work to do in their classes, and produce awful, unwatchable pieces of “art” about which they can never seem to stop talking. But worse than that, they hate all the movies you love, and they’re more than happy [...]

Ah, Fall: a season of wonder. This is the month of change: the leaves go from green to a lush mixture of colors; the air gets cooler but not unbearably so, ushering in a lovely breeze; everyone’s favorite TV shows have their season premieres; people repopulate the ancient and decrepit apartments around the two campuses [...]

Dance Party Neon has saved Studio 600. I’ve never been to a Neon party myself, but I’ve heard they’re pretty hopping. This Friday, the Neon Party is throwing a big Halloween Party. Around 1,100 people confirmed for the event on Facebook, with 1,500 fence-sitters that will probably end up going because they won’t want to [...]
