Thumbs Up
Comedy for the Masses
Thumbs up to Loyola's Bleu Picnic Improv Troupe run by Tom Saporito, '08 and Michael Herdson, Student Life Housing Coordinator, for attracting a near-sell out crowd to McManus Theatre this past Friday to raise money for Operation Smile. With as many laughs as there were dollars raised (in the $3,000 range), this show made it clear that Loyola is ready for the improv stylings of Bleu Picnic. And as an added bonus, this counts for Mass.
Thanksgiving
Thumbs up to a holiday that allows us to reflect upon a watershed event: a dinner that was held a few hundred years ago to unite the settlers with the Native Americans, getting past their differences and -- okay, let's be honest, this is just a time when we can laugh at our drunk Uncle Joseph and flirt with our second cousin Stephanie. What? SECOND cousin, people -- that's, like, not even related...right?
Hampden
Thumbs up to a classic spot, in Baltimore, Hampden, which is only a stone's throw away from Loyola's campus. Whether you are looking for a great meal or a really solid antiques shop, a vinyl store or a haircut, Hampden has something to offer everyone. And because Hampden is such a classic spot in Baltimore, prepare to see some really cool old buildings as well.
Thumbs Down
Stop killing the Radio Star
Thumbs down to people who possess uninteresting facts that they present as fresh. Yeah, you know who you all are -- the ones who think that because they just learned information that it must be new information. Everyone knows that the first music video played on MTV was Video Killed the Radio Star, people. That tidbit of information is no longer fresh; you are in no way interesting.
How rude!
This is a big thumbs down to all you Loyola students who find it necessary to be rude to your teachers. Yes, some teachers can make fairly absurd comments sometime, or may not always be the most organized, but the fact of the matter is that they have gone through years of education to get to this point, and just because they didn't like your (I'm sure scholarly perfect) interpretation of who The Misfit was doesn't give you the right to be an obnoxious brat to them in their class.
Oops!
Thumbs down to Britney Spears. Does this one really need explaining?
