With summer coming to a close, my friends and I took a trip to Port Aransas. I drove more than 500 miles that weekend and with about five miles to go on the way home I received a ticket for "failure to slow or evacuate lane for an emergency vehicle." The "emergency vehicle" in question was an unmarked police car. After some time on the Wikipedia ... [Read More…]

Noises Off! triumphs as two top-tier plays in one
"Noises Off!" began seemingly as any other play. The lovable housekeeper Dotty Otley (Donna Hester) enters the wood walled London living room and begins a monologue while on the telephone. Her thick British accent rambles until she seems to have forgotten her line. From this point on, the play never even approached normal. The audience watched a ... [Read More…]

World Famous Bean dresses to impress
Freshmen, I would first like to extend a welcome. It's always nice to return to find 400 taller and older looking guys roaming campus who are allegedly younger than me (there is no way that one guy is 18). Now, today's lunch is probably not your first in the World Famous Bean. You enjoyed its range of deliciously digestible dishes when you ... [Read More…]
