With temperatures hitting the 90s most days this summer, a hat might just become your new best friend. This season, hats are not just meant to be worn poolside. They can add a touch of style to any ensemble and, most importantly, protect your face from the summer's harsh rays.
It is time to once again review some of the albums that have been stacking up and spilling over in the office. In the month since my last rapid-fire review, the CDs have multiplied like gremlins in a swimming pool. Fortunately, the music seems less dismal than in the past endeavor.
One of the greatest hassles for both women and men has always been the removal of unwanted hair. Men shave their beards, and some wax their backs, while women diligently shave nearly everywhere else on a daily basis.
Week after week, you have heard me preach about bold colors for summer, and this season's nail shades are no different. Think of the colors you would use to highlight bold terms in your textbook. For those of you who like to keep the bright colors on your toes only, you are in luck, because white nail polishes are also in for summer.
For most, 38th birthdays come and go with little cause for contemplation. For Beck - alpha loser, fifth Beatle, fourth Beastie Boy - 38 means finding himself knee-deep in a mid-life crisis, contemplating worldly ills and taking stock in a self-destructing society that's making a beeline for the pit of hell.
"Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" is flashy but hardly golden. Director Guillermo del Toro's latest feature is a visual marvel, but it succumbs to the same clichés that characterize the comic book genre.
Bands come and go in Gainesville with the four-year cycle of students filtering through the college town.
A 44-year-old preschool teacher by day, Shawn Bauldree flirts with the dark side once the sun sets.

Self-aware robots rebelling are the stuff of science fiction horror. However, Pixar succeeds at making that the subject of its latest family film, "WALL-E."
Summer B is officially under way and unfortunately, so are the afternoon thunderstorms.
Falling asleep during a concert seems nearly impossible.
David Berman, you've got to hide your love away.

Relationships can drive you mad.
All rules are out the window when it comes to experimental music. Primal screams, scratchy dialogue, looping riffs and ambient echoes are just some of the sounds at a typical Action Research show.
Fleet Foxes isn't your father's Seattle band. The five-piece Puget pioneers avoid flannel, regularly bathe and - here's the real departure - seem genuinely happy to be alive. These guys have aesthetic taste, favoring 16th century cover artwork over naked babies (Nirvana) and mangy farm animals (Pearl Jam). Of greater importance, the group's brand of Brian Wilson-flavored folk lullaby makes more noise in blogs than in stadiums, a telltale sign that they are out of place and time.
