After a week and a half in the Portland area, I am back on the Palouse and back in business. During my visit the uncharacteristic Oregon snow was replaced by rain shortly after Christmas and I was able to leave my parents’ home and enjoy the sights of Portland and Salem and catch up with [...]

So, it’s one week until Christmas, and I have to admit I’ve been slacking on the Christmas shopping. I’ve gotten my sister and a few friends taken care of, but I still have more to do. What’s more, I have to fit my purchases into an already-crammed suitcase (knowing my packing habits). It looks like I’ll be [...]

Looking for some new music to listen to? Or just want to check how your music tastes mesh with NPR listeners? NPR listeners voted on their choices for “albums of the year” and it looks like the listeners have pretty good taste. I have to say, a lot of my new fave albums were well-represented on [...]

Looking for some new holiday music this season? Well, thanks to a popular Youtube video, former college a cappella group, Straight No Chaser, is becoming a national sensation. Check out the ABC news article here: http://www.abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=6418550&page=1 The video features the group’s version of “Twelve Days of Christmas,” which I have to say is the best song [...]

In the past Festival Dance has done more traditional shows [...]

A Christmas season would not be complete without the viewing of at least one of several cheesy and/or heartwarming movies, many of which are also captured on stage. The tale of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” is one of the most well-known and Moscow Community Theater is bringing it to the stage beginning 7:30 p.m. [...]

I don’t know about you, but there are some television shows that I watch just to catch a glimpse of the characters’ fabulous wardrobes. I have already admitted on this blog to being a fan of the teen drama, Gossip Girl, which follows the life of the Manhattan elite. Yes they are high school students, [...]

Thanksgiving is a little over a week away, and my mind is already drifting to thoughts of pumpkin pie, candied yams and the requisite turkey, leaving me satisfied, but curled up on the couch in a “turkey haze.” Although I won’t be surrounded by family members this year, I’ll be surrounded by my “Moscow family.” [...]

Last night I ventured out into the cold (yes, I’m a wimp) and walked about a block to the Nuart Theater in Moscow to take in some live music. For a cover of $4 I was able to see The Oolongs of Moscow, Yarn Owl from Pullman and Women, the headlining band from Alberta, Canada. [...]

Election day is upon us, so I thought I would provide the readers with a little entertainment before the big decision. If you haven’t seen the Saturday Night Live actors’ impersonations of the presidental candidates, it’s worth checking out. Here’s the link: http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/
