First-years: Listen to us, you fools

Climb down the Exorcist steps. Take a romantic stroll around the monuments by moonlight. Climb the John Carroll statue. Eat a Chicken Madness. If you don’t, you may be a terrorist.

Power trip: check.

I left my dignity in Dahlgren fountain.

And your bra.

The deal was I run through the fountain, you make out with me. Damn you.

Not the magic formula you expected? Life is like that.

“Serenity Now?” “No, Sterility now!!” “The Amish?” “No, the office!”

Seniors work? Jay isn’t feelin’ it.

Madvillainy, Madvillain, Stones Throw

Every once and awhile an album comes around that is so highly anticipated that it seems impossible it can live up to the hype. Most of them don’t. But for every 10 or 15 disappointments (see Beck’s Sea Change or Belle & Sebastian’s Fold Your Hands Child …), there emerges one album that delivers on its promise.

The Incomplete Triangle, Lansing-Dreiden, Kemado

The three surfaces of the case for The Incomplete Triangle fold to form an equilateral triangle, and, naturally, the skewed white lines on each surface form a triangle as well. Oh, no-is this another avant-garde, experimental concept album by some art school drop-out?

Rev. Kevin Wildes S.J. holds a short mass in his New South residence every Tuesday. But no matter how exciting his weekly sermons, Tuesday’s mass never draws a crowd like his occasional boxing lessons on Sunday nights.
