April 2It's generally hard to write about a show by which you were completely unmoved, because unspectacular shows give the writer nothing to say. No one, and definitely not pretentious music d-bags, want to write simply, "The music was fine, the band was pretty chill, I had an alright time. The end," but that's what reviews of hum-drum shows tend to boil down to.

Thank you, I will applaud the pre-meds
April 2It's OK to make generalizations. It's OK to make blanket statements if pointing out the minor deviations would just be tedious. However, it is not OK to stereotype a group of people. It is not OK to label people, call them names or make claims about them that are untrue, unfounded and incredibly unkind (... and rude, insulting and malicious work too, but I liked the "un-" alliteration.)

April 2Here is something that perplexes me about the folks at ESPN. It's likely that you won't find a greater concentration of genuine experts on professional sports than in Bristol, Conn. - men and women who are equally well-versed in batting averages and Olympic-medal figure skaters.

'Mimzy' conquers the sci-fi children's genre with class
April 2Due to its sci-fi genre, PG-rating, and last-minute advertising, "The Last Mimzy" probably isn't at the top of your must-see movie list. An innocent tale of a stuffed bunny won't drive you from your dorm room recliner nor compel you to get advance tickets to its first screening.

Theater Review | An unconventional take on mortality makes for a morbidly funny play
April 2In classical theater, a lot of characters end up dead. (Shakespeare, anyone?) But while theatrical death might not be an uncommon end to a show, it's unusual to begin a play with the death of the main character and then follow her into the afterlife. Watching her repeatedly kill herself only adds to the eccentricity.

April 2There are many people who have voiced concerns about the proposed "day of non-cooperation" on Thursday, April 19. Some believe that "not-learning" is counterproductive, and proves nothing. Others think that faculty participation is bad because if a professor chooses not to teach class even those who weren't originally planning to "not cooperate" will be forced to miss class. Still others believe that this day of non-cooperation conflicts with April Open House, and will send a bad message to prospective students.
