This Week in ‘What the Fuck?’: Bugs That Shit Fuel
I know what you might be thinking: “Shut up.” Ok, that’s fine. But check this out: Article about bugs that shit fuel. Evidently, some bugs have been genetically altered to eat what’s essentially garbage (excess wheats, wood, etc.) and excrete crude oil. I’m not sure how to feel about this. From an idealistic perspective, [...]
The Rebirth of Adolescence
I thought the mid/late nineties were over. I thought that because they are. It’s 2008. It’s been over a decade since the mid/late nineties! Wait! What??!! Yea. Believe it.So here’s a question for those of you college-aged kids out there (believe me, our reader base has been booming lately thanks to our newest ad in [...]
Event Enticement! Fuck Yea!
So, in order to do some lubin up for the show on the 9th, here is a clip from ‘On Parole.’ It won’t show up in the cut exactly as it is here, but its nearly a full scene from the script . So give it a look, and come out on the 9th! It’ll [...]
Cinematic Treatment
Another Colonialist editor and I were having a discussion last night, part of which included talk of the nature of contemporary fiction, specifically in movies. I suggested that a currently growing trend seems to be a slight break from the uber-realism and the recapitulated fantasy (political movies and comic book remakes), two of the most [...]
Springtime Theater Explosion!
Hey, all.
So, here we are, still climbing the face of the semester and on the precipice of what seems will be a beautiful spring. If you’re like me, as the weather gets warmer, you’re wanting more and more each day to skip class, break out the capris and “get college” on one of the [...]
Consider Knocking the Hustle
Hey!
Most people should be heading back to campus in the next couple days, which means it’s time to get excited. The beginning of the semester is one of the most refreshing times of year - no parents’ house, no papers due, you’ve long gotten over that class you failed, and now you’re returning to campus [...]
Weekend Pump Up
Hey everyone,
So, as you get ready for another super exciting at-home-weekend, maybe going down the block to your friend’s house to smoke drugs in his basement, or to the woods to drink the beer you hid there the night of your high school graduation party, or make your first legal trip to the local dive, [...]
Post Christmas Malaise: 1
Hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas (or whichever permutation of it with which you happen to align yourselves). Mine was pretty alright. Thanks. Anyway, now its over, which means its time to squeeze in another week of weird shit before the year is over. I just read this article and thought you all might [...]
Hair: A Review.
This past weekend, Forbidden Planet Productions presented their rendition of Hair. I had never seen this play before this past Sunday evening. I hadn’t even heard of it, or at least cognized its existence until earlier this semester when audition flyers began appearing campus. To summarize before I begin, I entered the theater slightly skeptical [...]
Hair: An opinionated follow-up for those interested in continued reading.
(Allow me to take this time to remind readers that the Colonialist attempts to be in no capacity unbiased. Nor do they (I) attempt to restrict themselves (myself) to conventions of length. Know this; read on).
