    And so it begins! Wedding planning....any suggestions/ideas/ect are welcome!

    I am in the same boat, and have been picking between venues for like 3 months now lol.  I think I have seen every outside venue in the tri-state area.  The best advice I have from here is it is not so bad to get involved with certain things.  Linens and color patterns, etc I don't give a crap...

    Does the fall of music ever depress you? It does me.

    I am tired of the argument that because mainstream music is terrible, the modern state of music is terrible. If you can't find amazing new music with one google search, you are either blind or aren't trying. The list of great new records so far this year, and this is only in my small area of...

    Spiderman 4. What Villian would you like to see?

    The 3rd was def getting into Batman & Robin territory. I don't think Venom was handled as well as it could have been. I hope the spin-off Venom movie does a good job. I wish Carnage would show up, but probably not. They setup the backstory of The Lizard in the last few slightly, so that is...

    College Student Food

    That is a lot of money per week for groceries. When I was living in my old apt, I was spending $75 every two weeks for food and I was eating really well. Learn how to actually use all kinds of vegetables because they are cheap and so tasty. All the weird ones, brussel sprouts, radishes, bok...

    Roger Waters takes "The Wall" back on the road.

    I can't wait for this, but I hope tickets aren't $1k each for nosebleeds. He could easily get that too, which is the worst part. I will have graduated by then, so hello graduation present!

    Grado Wood Maintenance

    Unless they are coated with anything, you should treat them like a nice piece of furniture, or an antique instrument. I use lemon oil on all of the furniture I have made/bought and I use it on my violin as well.
