Fashion resolutions for 2008!

Instead of writing an extensive reflection of the year 2007, I’ll keep it short and sweet.

If anyone is looking for a little Holiday cheer this time of year, skip I Am Legend. The movie is dark, violent, and intense but highly entertaining and excellently done.

Will Smith stars as Colonel Robert Neville, a virologist living in disease-ravaged New York City. A virus initially created as a cure for cancer has mutated and killed off ninety percent of the world’s population, leaving less than one percent of the remaining immune and turning the rest into horrific, vampire-like creatures.

The vast majority of the movie takes place three years after the outbreak, as Neville frantically searches for a cure while trying to stay alive amid the swarms of creatures, called “dark-seekers” because of their aversion to light.

FASHION. FASHION. READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Stuck up high in the European snow-capped mountains with an attractive boys ski team and the Winter Wonderland Ball coming up, what is there to do but think about boys, dresses and dancing?

Be prepared for an update when Season 3 arrives!

After a successful summer tour opening for bands like Linkin Park and Taking Back Sunday, Saosin has released their debut full-length album. The self-titled disc contains 12 songs in which Saosin proves they have the potential to be as big as the acts they opened for throughout Projekt Revolution (a summer tour that mixes hip-hop and rock that’s always headlined by Linkin Park) this summer.

One thing that is holding Saosin back from potential stardom is the consistency of their songs. Every track is a solid rock song that’s well executed, but there is very little that differentiates the songs.

“Southern Weather” is the debut full-length album from Florida alternative rock group The Almost. There are eleven tracks on the disc, lasting a scant 38 minutes, and that’s the only positive thing that can be said about this album.

If the cover shot of the shore with storm clouds lingering overhead didn’t give it away, “Southern Weather” is your typical emotional summer album with an overdose of teen angst. On the disc, there are songs full of the cliché “you’re a bad girlfriend” theme, among other stereotypes of teen drama mentality.

On October 13, Johnson’s Farm unveiled this year’s highly anticipated Corn Maze, advertised as being more challenging than ever. After paying a small admission fee of $77, each individual took, on average, one to two hours to find their way through the twisting maze, complete with 12-foot-high corn stalks on either side. Three seven-year-old boys, Roger Squirral, Peter Goggal and Louie Scrizzball, were admitted into the maze together around 2:00 PM, before disappearing for 72 hours.

When the maze closed at 6:00 p.m., Attendant Phillip Yorgast didn’t bother to check the list of maze-goers. He closed and locked the gate and went home to his wife. The three boys remained inside, unable to find the exit.
