Proud To Be An American: Musicals
(That’s a video, by the way) Temple is putting on a production of Cabaret at the Prince Music Theatre, and I’m in an acting class and had to go watch it. In case you don’t know, Cabaret is about (you guessed it) a Cabaret in Berlin that a young, dumb, sorta queer (but will still have sex with/fall for the leading lady in order to drive the plot with a heterosexual love story), American stumbles upon. He’s “a writer”, which as it turns out... Read More
But is it Art? (Labor Rights Edition)
A girl. So. At this point it’s probably obvious that I only leave the house to 1) Go to school/work on Temple’s campus and 2) Get drunk (no pictures then). Will get a real life soon for blog purposes. This cutie caught my eye among the adverts on my way out of Temple’s cafeteria. I think this is art. It’s definitely art because she’s framed sorta off center; her bangs are nestled in that rule of thirds (of course I have no clue what I’m talking... Read More
But Is It Art? (2)
I don’t think this really needs a caption. Or words. It’s funny because this is an intersection where cars get stuck behind passing pedestrians. They sort of start nudging forward while people are still crossing. Read More
Sustaina-whaa?
It’s nice to raise awareness and all, but I can’t help but wonder whether posting flyers to draw attention to the text clearly printed on light switches telling you to, uh, turn them off when you aren’t using the light is a sort of one step forward, two steps back kind of thing. At least as far as being “green” is concerned. Read More
Proof that Tyler School of Art is Indeed on Temple Main Campus
I ran into this giant stuffed squirrel (?) on the way back from J&H with Flip. He thinks it looks like Penn State’s Nittany Lion. Whatever it is, it seems to be slam-dunking a ball of tin foil. Read More
McJAWN in the Newspaper
What’s the deal with McJAWN? It’s a blogosphere sensation and up-and-coming arts and culture magazine that is all about Philly and its funky-fresh scene. From hip-hop to hipster trends and indie rock, McJAWN’s got you covered. Seated on a weathered couch at a local coffee shop, Wen Vo, co-founder of McJAWN, told The Temple News what it’s all about. The Temple News: Where did you come up with the idea for the magazine? (Julia Wilkinson/TTN) Wen Vo: Actually, it started... Read More

I’m a Slave to Coffee
I’m at my usual spot every Mon through Thurs. Exhausted, if I may add. I’ve been spending my mornings here at Saxbys coffee house on the Temple campus, just waiting around for my class to start. The music at the coffee house is illuminative. The drinks are cheaper than Starbucks (almost every coffee house in Phila is cheaper than Starbucks lol). People are still insensate… typical. But the guys who work here are terribly sweet. BTW, I slurped my frolatte like... Read More
