With the seventh season of Doctor Who having started three weeks ago with a new companion, I started to think. I liked the new companion in the Christmas special, but now, I’m not so sure. There was something off about the new season, and it’s killing me. But then I realized what it was: it’s… Continue Reading
Have you ever watched a television show or movie and thought, “This would be much better if it were something else?” The ‘something else’ is usually a little bit shorter for a show, or a bit longer for a movie, and you wish there were an in-between somewhere. But there is. It’s called the glorious… Continue Reading
Recently, Netflix’s CEO, Reed Hastings, announced that the new season of Arrested Development will not continue onto a second or third. This begged the question: What was the point of bringing back the show if you’re not going to give more? For those of you who don’t know, Arrested Development was about a dysfunctional family… Continue Reading
It’s great to get out of your house and go out at night, to meet some of the odd folk parading the streets of Reno, and even better, to have a drink while you listen to a trio of local musicians do what you thought could only be done at music festivals. Still, going out… Continue Reading
We’ve all got our hobbies. Some of us read, some write, some play rugby, others play the jaw harp. We all find things to do that we really enjoy. One of my favorite and most recent hobbies is ballroom dance. Much of my experience dancing so far I owe to The Ballroom of Reno, which… Continue Reading

Music Festival this May (where… Continue Reading
Ever since I was young-ish, my older sister has told me I’m cursed with shows being cancelled. I knew she was joking, but there was the strange coincidence that everything I thought was great would no longer be in our presence soon after. It’s simple, really. A show could be going on for years, but… Continue Reading

Sunday, January 27, 2013, just so happened to be the 257th birthday of a little friend of mine named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. To honor him, the Reno Chamber Orchestra (RCO) held two concerts during Mozart’s birthday weekend in our very own Nightingale Concert Hall. If you don’t know about Nightingale, it’s in UNR’s Church Fine… Continue Reading

How has 2012 already ended? Seriously. It feels like yesterday I was at my friend’s 2011 New Year’s party, intoxicated off of bliss and Jäger. Overall, twenty-twelve proved to be very nice to me, and I remain optimistic for the coming year. Last night I decided to make a list of my top ten (in… Continue Reading
If Iggy Azalea’s hip-hop offerings add up to anything so far, it’s a zero-sum. Azalea’s most recent offering, a trap-influenced record titled “Bossy Lady”, features heavy synths and limited lyrical content, to say the least. “My money piling / all over the lettuce / like thousand island,” Azalea raps. To make matters worse, the production… Continue Reading
