Waka Dog Café

With its grand opening just over a week ago, the Waka Dog Café is the newest addition to South Bend's deep arsenal of eateries. The Waka Dog Café replaced the not-so-great Falafel Express, right next door to Between the Buns and Studebagels. Making the move from its former Mishawaka location, Waka Dog should definitely be on your list of places to eat off campus when quarter dogs just aren't good enough.

Valentine's Day vitality

It's nearing the end of January, which means that Valentine's Day is right around the corner. For some, this means a cute date with a boyfriend or girlfriend featuring a nice dinner and special guest appearances from Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Throughout the years, however, I have found that an overwhelming number of individuals have not and will not be partaking in such festivities. In past years, I have heard a nonstop buzz of negativity surrounding V-day and all that goes along with the occasion. People from all over the world have declared themselves, proud or not, as solo entities; they have ditched the holiday and all its lighthearted glory. 

Abrams takes on 'Star Wars'

Nerds, rejoice. The question of who will take the coveted director seat of the "Star Wars" franchise has finally been answered: Mr. Bad Robot himself, J. J. Abrams. Those familiar with Abrams' long history of sci-fi work may not be surprised with the decision, but keep in mind that he rebooted the "Star Trek" franchise (long-time arch nemesis to the "Star Wars" fan base) and is set to release the next installment of that series this summer, "Star Trek: Into Darkness." The thought of such a crossover brings to mind George Costanza's speech on when "worlds collide."

This past weekend I went to the Wakarusa Dime Store and discovered a magical land where all of your favorite 90s candy is always in stock and happiness shines over the entire place like a beautiful rainbow. 

Restaurant Week in South Bend

Already tired of the dining hall's limited stir-fry bar, "authentic" Indian food and wannabe-BWW wings? Need a break from that all-too-frequent serving of mystery meat in your Taco Bell Crunch Wrap Supreme? Thanks to downtown South Bend, you can have a taste of the area's best restaurants at a discounted price during Restaurant Week.

Memorial Day'

Hollywood, from time to time, will come out with a war film full of pomp and circumstance that makes us think, "Wow, that's cool." A quiet, awe-inspiring movie theater will fill with the noise of battle as great special effects, heart-wrenching storylines, lots of Nazi butt kicking and extraordinary acts of valor light up the screen.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' doesn't quite nail it

From a director whose notable works include a Nazi zombie horror comedy and a Norwegian parody of "Kill Bill" comes "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters"-exactly the kind of violent, outrageous fun to be expected. But you do have to be expecting it.

2013 Film Festival displays ND talent

Death of the Album

No one buys CDs anymore. Not really. They are not as extinct as say, the cassette tape, but it is safe to say that the birth of Napster, iTunes and the MP3 put a quick end to the reign of the compact disk. So perhaps its time we had a frank discussion about the Bermuda Triangle of music critique, the "concept album."
