I would never claim to know all there is to know about music, but there are just some highly unqualified statements that I can't ignore.

I first witnessed the magic of "Pushing Daisies" last fall when the show premiered on ABC. After the first episode, I was hooked. I made sure my Wednesday nights were free so I could see each week's episode, which is something I rarely do. If, for some bizarre reason, I had to miss the show, I would catch it online at abc.com.

Learning how to swim is different for all of us. Some of us take classes to learn, some of us are taught by older siblings. But maybe you happen to be the kid who learned by getting thrown into a body of water by a ruthless parent. As you're splashing around, you're overwhelmed. (0) comments
Wild Goats Café, located across the street from the Kent Free Library, goes unnoticed by most Kent students, which is unacceptable. Café may mean a small restaurant serving light meals and coffee, but Wild Goats Café has many large-portioned meals that make choosing what to eat more difficult than one would think. (0) comments
