Zona pt 2
Update: I finished the book and am now onto reviews of it. Dana Stevens wins with this line: He’s like the most brilliant boyfriend you ever had in grad school. Well, I’ve never been to grad school and I’ve never had a boyfriend, but that about sums him up.
But then she goes on to write, “whose combination of trippy visuals and weighty Christian symbolism was never much to my...
Zona
I went to see Stalker last night. The occasion: Geoff Dyer, whose new book, Zona, is about Stalker and the impact it had on him. He was hosting a few others for a panel they called Tarkovsky Interruptus. A frustrating way to see a movie you’ve never seen before, especially a three hour long Russian scifi; the movie plays for thirty-ish minutes, and then they interrupt-us, and talk about it...

Booty Rap: A Poem About Love
By: Kathleen Roberts
Once upon a time on the middle coast lived a man who felt his heart did hurt the most. All he wanted was a lady and to make her his baby, and from lack of sex this dude had gone a little bit crazy. So our guy took up a hobby that his neighbors disliked: ridin’ naked up and down the streets of town on his bike. Well the cops were called by the Neighborhood Watch, who...

Geeking out about my favorite music:...
Many music writers and bloggers comment on the questionable and ambiguous process of genre classification (example: http://www.xlr8r.com/mp3/2010/08/oochre), and this article is no different. But instead of merely trivializing the characterization of certain kinds of music into boxes, i.e., rap, rock, dance, or to be more specific (pretentious, perhaps?), chillwave, screwgaze, soulfly, or...

Troll 2... "One Was Not Enough!"
Troll 2. Absolutely, the worst movie you will ever see. Nothing about this movie makes sense. Every scene will leave you confused, offended, angry, and helplessly awkward.
But trust me… you’ll sit down and watch all 135 minutes of it.
Before you start the movie, know this… There is not a Troll 1. The title was changed from “Goblin” to Troll 2 in an attempt to draw an audience...

Soccer Dog: The Movie
In my infinite curiosity, I purchased this charming gem from Cub Foods on my last trek before graduating. I was intrigued: “The Movie”? What previous iterations has this wonderful canine embarked upon as to warrant a subtitle? I have yet to watch it, but here are some Netflix reviews of this Air Bud spin-off. I have seen/rated over 1,500 movies on this site. I can safely say...

Nobody Gets Hurt
Andreas Stoehr
You don’t want to die alone. But you’re not willing to do anything to avert that potentiality. You just run around in the mud like a sweating scaredy-cat who’s not sure, but thinks he might dreaming. Coward! Coward! Coward! Coward! Coward!
Pursued by madmen, you are. And they’re wielding household implements of destruction, ranging from the shiny new hedge clippers you see displayed...

The Rules of Hootenanny
Hootenanny is a simple game with myriad variations. In its most basic form the rules are as follows:
Materials (figure 1)
1 or more Pitchers
3 or more Drinkers (with cups)
16-20 Bar Coasters
Instructions
Coasters must be doled out to each of the drinkers. It is paramount to ensure that this process is referred to as doling, and not dealing. Each drinker should have roughly the same amount of...

hey clappers, sometimes when I’m writing a paper, I insert nonsense sentences into paragraphs to keep my thoughts moving along. recently, this has happened more and more often. I thought I should include an example from just a moment ago:
At the end of the Fellow’s speech, he informs that reader and the narrator, “I give thee leave to publish it [his ‘relation’] for the good of other...
