Afterglow, Sarah McLachlan's first new studio release in six years, follows on the traditions of 1992's Solace and 1994's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, but fails to break the new ground that fans seem to have expected after such a long hiatus. While reviewers have cited the death of her mother in 2001 and the birth of her daughter just a few months later as excellent reasons that this album should have more depth and introspection, it's not for lack of serious, contemplative lyrics (far from it, in fact) that this album wavers.

Ah, winter vacation. Six weeks with no school in sight, unless you're doing an intensive course somewhere. Maybe you have a job waiting for you at home; maybe you have some exciting road trip planned. Regardless of how you're spending the time, I bet reading's the last thing you want to be doing.

Biracial marriage has come a long way from being kept a secret in times of intolerance. Today, biracial marriage is celebrated, but it is still shunned by some. Center Stage's production of a.m. Sunday, by Jerome Hairston, showcases the problems that biracial couples face in today's world.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl came out on DVD and video on December 2. This means that if you haven't seen it, you need to buy it, rent it, or ask for it for Christmas or Hannukah. I say this because it's an amazing movie. When I first went to the theater to see it, I didn't think it would be good at all, but it is brilliant.
