- How To Make This Ain't No School Kid's Applesauce
[Food-and-Drink:Recipes] Ever since kindergarten, I have been terrified of what modern-day society calls applesauce.

[Arts-and-Entertainment:Movies-TV] Not often are homosexual relationships portrayed honestly in film.

[Arts-and-Entertainment:Movies-TV] "Two Star-Crossed Lover's Take Their Life," were words written by William Shakespeare.

[Arts-and-Entertainment:Movies-TV] Sitting down to watch "Across the Universe" is like entering an internal trip of the mind.

What follows is a list of her best songs and their significance.
- French Market Chocolate Chiffon Cake

[Arts-and-Entertainment:Movies-TV] I had one of those fortunate experiences where you get completely wrapped up and involved in a movie. I decided to pop in "Stardust," and that was all it took. I don't know if it was just the mood I was in, or what, but I was taken away by this fairy tale.
- At Least The Popcorn Was Good?
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Movies-TV] Tuesdays are the family movie day since popcorn is only $.50 here in our hometown. Well, that is all I can really say that was good about my movie experience this week. We had the unfortunate event of watching "Mad Money." I didn't expect much, but I thought it would at least be an enjoyable comedy. Mainly we went to "Mad Money," because it was the only movie that all of us could watch (my little sister is not old enough for all the other ratings yet). So, we sat down to watch what would hopefully be, a fun comedy.
