Originally, "How to Make It in America" was touted as a partner show of "Entourage" (2004−2011). Both are produced by Mark Wahlberg and both have similar focuses, like male friendships and surviving in difficult businesses.
The members of Gym Class Heroes are no strangers to the mainstream audiences that radio superstardom brings. Busting onto the scene with the single, "Cupid's Chokehold," Gym Class Heroes has enjoyed much success since its third album, "As Cruel As School Children" (2006). The group is composed of lead singer Travie McCoy, guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo, bassist Eric Roberts and drummer Matt McGinley, and released its last album, "The Quilt," in 2008.
Between conducting research, holding office hours, giving lectures and assigning those sinister problem sets, you'd think it would be hard for faculty on the Hill to stay fabulous when it comes to their wardrobes as well.
This week, I have the delight of welcoming my husband and parents over from the United Kingdom for a holiday. Yes, this week — midterms week, aka the busiest week of the year so far. In deciding which week my family should visit, our ignorance of American college schedules meant our decision−making processes consisted of us thinking how nice it would be to visit in the fall. At least my loved ones are fairly good at exploring a city unaccompanied, and don't seem to think spending quality time with their daughter or wife is a prerequisite of a Boston visit. So, while I study away, my visitors all enjoy themselves, and we rendezvous for dinner so they can fill me in on everything I am missing out on. All in all, it is a perfect system — for them.
If you would be delighted to never see another Natural Ice for the rest of your life, this article is for you. But really, it's for everyone because, let's face it: the days of sipping flat beer out of a plastic cup in the recesses of a dingy frat basement are numbered.
As they say in "Mean Girls" (2004), "In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." So '86 that tired sexy maid costume and check out 10 ways to be unexpectedly slutty this Halloween.
"Save Our Show" is a recurring feature that examines television programs that, despite their low ratings, are of high quality, interesting and worth watching. These programs deserve larger audiences and season renewals — and we're imploring our readers to tune in.
Anyone who has taken the Joey from Davis Square to Tufts this year has probably noticed a relatively new addition to the route: Masala. Located in Teele Square, Masala offers a delightful blend of Indian and Nepali cuisine.
Elizabeth Olsen is currently the film industry's best-kept secret. She is young, immensely talented and, with the release of the Sundance hit "Martha Marcy May Marlene" (2011), Olsen is ready to become a star. The Daily got the chance to chat with the skilled indie darling about developing her troubled character, what she learned at New York University (NYU) and the most difficult scene she had to film.
The campus is officially in a slump. Personally, I'm so tired and overworked that sitting in Carmichael next to what must be an early hominid loudly masticating a bagel and cream cheese is such an acute assault on the senses that it just may induce an aneurysm. Disappointing midterms grades, the accumulating anxiety from falling behind in work, not getting enough sleep, three days of rain each week, stuffy noses, fading tans and the encroaching onset of weather that will turn your nipples hard as diamonds — it's enough to send any first-world college-educated WASP into a spiraling depression. In light of this ubiquitous plight, I hereby declare this week National Mediocrity, Disenchantment and Low Self-Esteem Week and will now recommend several soul-saving elixirs that can help you keep plugging along.
The trouble with Mike White and Laura Dern's new HBO show, "Enlightened," is that it's not funny, dramatic or entertaining.
Until Mar. 4, 2012, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) will be hosting "Ellsworth Kelly: Wood Sculpture." Kelly, an American artist who is also well−renowned for his paintings, drawings and prints, has made 30 wood sculptures from 1958 to 1996. His inspiration comes from "investigating how things look" and his ability to see everything as "a jumble of shapes and colors."
Ridiculous. That was the one word going through my head both during and after the Lyric Stage Company of Boston's play "Or." This production was so utterly ridiculous that I'm itching to convey how disappointing it was.
Copious nudity, deceitful mistresses and socio−political maneuvers that would make George W. Bush blush are standard fare on "Boardwalk Empire," HBO's wildly successful drama, which is inching its way toward the middle of its second season.
All right, kids, it's that time of year. Bust out the pumpkin beers, slutty outfits and high−fructose corn syrup: it's Halloween.
Even before midterms started, Tufts was a pretty unfunny campus. It's this uptight atmosphere that drives many Jumbos off−campus for laughs. This past Friday, The Precinct Bar in Union Square played host to several comedians for a free comedy show entitled "Midnight Comedy for the Undead."
Brotherly love, dutiful hand bobbing and ecstatic dancing pervaded Cousens Gym's Carzo Cage on Saturday night. Tufts students spanning varying levels of sobriety tottered through the New England dark to witness the performance of growing indie−pop icons Matt & Kim and their supporting group, Tufts alumni Timeflies, as they tore it down for Tufts' annual Cage Rage.
You would need a magnifying glass to properly view many of the pieces in "Two Masters of Fantasy: Bresdin and Redon," an exhibit currently running at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA).
Noel Gallagher, the more talented half of Oasis' infamous Gallagher duo, has finally released his debut solo album — and it's OK. Since Gallagher announced that he was going to strike out on his own, Oasis fans worldwide have been betting for months that the album just wouldn't have what it takes to follow up Oasis.
