Oh my God, it’s almost 2010: Worst Boy Band Attempts
Halloween just came and went, soon 102.5 will start playing only Christmas music and before you know it, it will be 2010.
Last-minute costume ideas
nlike someone I know, you probably haven’t been planning your seven different Halloween costumes since last April. But the most important of all college holidays is merely days away. And if you are still struggling to come up with an idea that is clever, funny and cheap, don’t enter crisis mode just yet, because Cadenza is here to provide some inspiration for some simple, last-minute costume ideas that at least match one of those stipulations—mostly the “cheap” one.

The only reason I barely tolerated Kevin Costner in “The Bodyguard” was Whitney Houston’s rendition of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” (which went on to become one of the best-selling singles of all time).
Worse movie dubs on cable TV
Sometimes swearing is a necessity. When I found out that the Office of Residential Life doesn’t provide their off-campus apartments with cable or wireless internet, I expressed some choice words.
