The Magic Touch: Comparing the Touch Screen Phones on the market

Starting July 3rd, consumers will have yet another type of touch screen mobile phone to choose from. May I present to you, the Dare from Verizon Wireless.

Pregnancy Pact Presents Problems

I’ve written a piece about the pregnancy pacts in Mass. It’s not my best, but the piece I started on cell phones just wasn’t working. Feel free to read if you are interested.

Best of 2007 – More Previously Published Material

Yes, I understand that a recap of last year is a bit dated, but I just started a new job meaning I have less time to write completely new things. I assure you, fresh material is one the way.

These clips are from a spread printed in December 2007 highlighting the staff’s favorite new music, television, and movies of the past year.

Oberlin Confessional Examined

Here we have another previously published article. Unlike my other pieces of work on this site, this one contains strong language and may not be appropriate for all readers.

Out of Luck

Sorry folks, I just don’t have the energy to churn anything new out for today and I’m running low on older articles that I still find “acceptable”. Perhaps I’ll add two tomorrow or something.

Cheers,

The Practical Skeptic: Portrait of the Contemporary Art Student

Here we have another piece that is a little older. I wrote it earlier this spring for an assignment for my Rhetoric seminar. I haven’t spoken to the girl I interviewed in ages, so I have changed her name to Jane Doe for the time being – until I can get her consent.

Paris Hilton: IDK my BFF Hil-lton

I’m crunched for time today, again. So, instead of a new article, I’m sharing something a little older but still relevant… in the world of pop culture.

Rosemary’s Baby: Christian Themes in Different Scenes

A more academic piece on Rosemary’s Baby. Please note that some of the formatting did not transfer very well from microsoft word.

Everything Causes Cancer These Days – Yes Even Shower Curtains

I was in the kitchen today, about to warm myself some soup in the microwave. The soup was in a plastic Tupperware box, microwaveable, dishwasher safe, the whole deal. Just as I was about to put the plastic bowl in the microwave, my mother stopped me. “Sandhya, please don’t warm it in that. They are saying now that warming plastic containers released carcinogenic materials. It’ll give you cancer.”
I shrugged my shoulders and replied, “But everything gives you cancer these days. What do I really have left?” Still, I complied and dumped the leftover soup into a ceramic bowl.

New Slang

I’ll admit that I’m not up to cranking out a full article or personal essay today. I’m going to browse the top headlines and see if anything inspires me to write something new. If not, I have another profile of an artist that you might be interested in reading.

I also encourage you to read Umbilical Chord, the daily music blog I co-author. Enjoy!
