A Taste For Flesh
What does it say about me that I enjoy watching the dead feast on the flesh of the living? Am I one sick puppy because I love zombie movies? Probably, but I do have an intellectual justification for my twisted fascination.

A Glimpse Into Some Different Worlds
Or, A Stoner Rocker Goes to An Indie Show.
Actually, I’ve been to several shows the last few weekends, so I thought I’d share some of the experiences. First, a couple weekends ago I went to see Ted Leo on Friday, and then went out to Palm Springs to catch some bands out there on Saturday night. Then last weekend, I went to see some doom/stoner bands. Of all the shows, the experience of seeing indie rocker Ted Leo was the most unusual for me.
Oscar Reactions?
Karen H.
I thought we should have a post dedicated to discussing the Oscars. What are your thoughts?

Logan’s March Album Preview
by Logan B.
As I’ve been surfing the web, reading my favorite music sources, and listening to the radio, I’ve been struck by how much great music is coming out in March. I thought I’d share the ones to which I’m most looking forward. Feel free to heckle, praise, or mention others you’re excited about. My top five, in the order they’ll be released, are:

It’s old news (season 1 is up, as well as three from season 2), but they are great to watch. Have a good weekend!
Movie Review: Constantine
by Pris
The only thing I knew about Constantine
before I entered the theater was what the previews had shown me: it’s a
religious horror/thriller with Keanu Reeves. But that’s all I needed to
convince me to give the theater my five dollars. Frankly, I kinda like Keanu
Reeves’the Matrix trilogy,
the Bill & Ted films, and
Speed make up for the Sweet Novembers of his resume.
Plus, it’s relatively rare for Hollywood to release a big budget film with overt supernaturally religious themes. Being
a religion geek, I eat it up.
Is It Possible To Contribute To Culture Without Partaking Of It?
I’ve been pulling together ideas to include in my thesis and one of my writers suggested an idea that she likened to a (writing) technique used in Sex and the City. Mildly embarrassed, I admit that I know this technique (because I occasionally watch the show on TBS).
