Spring Break
Accurso's Restaurant and Catering Co. needs to be added to your list of places to take a special date. The dinner atmosphere is thick with romance. Dean Martin songs float through the air as you sit in a cozy booth with a red and white checked vinyl tablecloth.
Anything Goes Madison Smartt Bell Pantheon Books $24 Twenty-year-old Jesse is the bass drummer for Anything Goes, a band comprised of four guys with distinct personalities and musical notions. Jesse's the type of guy who gets the mousy friend of the busty blond girl in the bar while lead guitarist Chris goes home with Blondie.
Fast Food Nation Eric Schlosser Perennial $13.95 Have you ever eaten a value meal from McDonald's? If you're like millions of Americans, the answer is yes. But have you ever been concerned about exactly what goes into that burger and fries? You should be. In "Fast Food Nation," Eric Schlosser, a former writer for Rolling Stone magazine, shines a spotlight on the fast food industry, and it's not a pretty sight.
Giacomo Puccini La Boheme If any of you, like me, have never before been to an Italian opera, I suggest you give it a try. While considerably well versed in musicals and plays, I confess that Italian opera is far beyond the feeble reach of my two-years-as-a-theater-major knowledge.
Aries (March 22 - April 20): Don't give up on something that is important to you. Take some lessons or get training if you need it. Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to join the Monster Squad? That didn't work out, but you really didn't put forth any effort.
On Screen- "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever"; 2002, Directed by Wych Kaosayananda The director of "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever," Wych Kaosayananda, lists his name as Kaos in the credits. My thinking is, if you're making an action film and give yourself a name like that, you'd better deliver the goods or be prepared for a heaping dose of ridicule.
