Imagine, if you will, a time long ago. A time, if Warner Bros. cartoons have taught me anything, when establishing and maintaining a relationship was as simple as clubbing a potential mate over the head with a comically oversized piece of lumber and dragging her away to romantic bliss.
The first Valentine's Day I had with my boyfriend was the best Valentine's Day by far! It was our senior year in high school and he started the day by giving me a dozen pink roses. Later, I went out with my mom. She wanted to go shopping, so we did, and I ended up finding a nice dinner dress.
On a blistering cold morning in Montana while working construction, most would think a nice cup of coffee is what's needed to get your day started. But that's not the case for Josh Overcash, now a Charleston resident. He would bring herbal, organic chai tea to his construction crew to warm them up and get them moving in the morning.
Just a few steps away from the Student Recreation Center sits a room designed for testing. These tests, though, require no reading or cramming. Students and faculty can test their fitness levels five days a week in Lantz's Human Performance Lab. The Assessment, Testing and Prescription program consists of a series of tests to give a broad perspective of personal health and fitness.
Starting Friday, Marianne's Euro Deli will be providing live music for its customers every Friday night. Throughout the year, the eatery plans to bring folk, blues, rock, jazz and bluegrass musicians. "We want to make [the Deli] more lively," said Christina Keegan, an employee at Marianne's Deli.
Musicians from North Carolina, Texas and Charleston will put the rock back in raucous, no matter how the words are spelled. Crank County Daredevils, from Asheville, N.C., are scheduled to headline, followed by Austin, Texas' Broken Teeth and Charleston's new group, Romancing the Bone.
"Hey, how's it going?" "Good, you?" "I'm good." (Sound of crickets). Has this happened to you? It's the dreaded awkward silence. No matter who you are talking to, you are going to have to deal with the awkwardness that is silence. Here's some advice. Situation one: You are quite the pensive student and have shown up for class early.
Friday, University Board presents Ciara. This Austin, Texas, native will perform at Lantz Arena. "We wanted to bring a hip hop act," said Kristen Thorburn, UB Concert Coordinator. "We are trying to appeal to everyone." "I think Ciara's coming here is a good thing because UB hasn't done a lot with a diverse selection of artists," said Sharie Gilette, a sophomore marketing major.
Fat Tuesday found Champaign's Foellinger Auditorium awash in the ghost of Wilco. But it was a friendly ghost. The sold out show marked the regional popularity of a Belleville-based band relocated to Chicago. Ten years after forming, Wilco's latest release, "A Ghost is Born," is up for a Grammy after the band's transition from country to a modern rolling rock sound.
