  • The Wonder Years Episode & Music Guide

This Episode & Music Guide offers a comprehensive overview of all the episodes and all the songs played during the show. The episode guide is based on the first complete TWY episode guide which was originally posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in 1993. It was compiled by Kirk Golding with contributions by Kit Kimes. It was in turn based on the first TWY episode guide ever put together by Jerry Boyajian and posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in September 1991. Both are used with permission. The music guide is the work of many people. Shane Hill and Dawayne Melancon corrected and inserted several songs. Kyle Gittins revised the list; Matt Wilson and Arno Hautala provided several corrections. It is close to complete but there are still a few blank spots. Used with permission.

  • Go Contex Go Savichv1.Pdf
    Advance Praise for Go, Contex, Go! Vlad Savich’s stories seem to be a reaction to encounters in early life—some real, some perceived, some imagined—with the forces of limitation: parental, political, religious and cultural. And so, he fights, against unfairness, injustice, and unkindness... but above all, against boredom. When he is strident, Savich thrills. When he is ironic, he delights. His prose style is filtered through Russian, Ukrainian, and Canadian French, resulting in a pungent, inimitable and almost unplaceable accent. It is our good fortune that he is so prolific; this is exciting, entertaining writing we are better off for having more of. Call him the rock-and-roll New Realist Turgenev of Kiev, or the tragicomic punk Chekhov of Montreal. Whatever you call him, read him (and ignore the OTHER Vlad altogether). Путін-хуйло! —Zachary Bos, New England Review of Books PUBLISHED BY PENDANT PUBLISHING London, United Kingdom Copyright © 2016 Pendant Publishing Cover design: Evan Johnston ISBN: 978-0-9928034-6-9 v. 1.0 Go, Contex, Go!

Spring was running through the streets and alleys of a large old city. Waiting for aventures incroyables, it stirred up my 17-year-old soul that lived for the sensation of big events. Everything was betokening a miracle: the wind rushing into the classroom, trees just about to explode into sticky young leaves, and the immature April moon dropping into my romantic dreams with its calligraphically written “C.” An unknown, mysterious world lifted its veil in them.

  • Monologues for Girls
    1 MONOLOGUES FOR GIRLS One Sunday Afternoon by James Hagan [This lovely, if somewhat sentimental play, written in 1930, is about young love in a small Midwestern town. Amy, a romantic young girl, has a crush on the town bully and she's describing it to her friend Virginia.] AMY I don't know. Maybe it was love, I don't know, but— Well, when I was very young— of course, that's a long time ago, you understand. It was in school. There was this boy. I don't know‐‐he never looked at me and I never...Virginia, did you ever have a feeling in your heart‐‐Something that you feel is going to happen and it doesn't— that's the way my heart was— (she touches her heart) It wasn't love, I know that— (pause) He never even noticed me. I could have been a stick in the mud as far as he was concerned. Virginia, this boy always seemed lonely somehow. Everybody had it in for him, even the teachers—they called him bully—but I know he wasn't. I saw him do a lot of good things—when the big boys picked on the smaller ones, he helped the little fellows out. I know he had a lot of good in him—good, that nobody else could see—that's why my heart longs for him. Little Women based on the Novel by Luisa May Alcott adapted for the stage by Lorraine Cohen [The story of the trials and tribulations of the March family.

  • Anthony Lopez
    CUSTOMIZED SHOES: A HIP-HOP STAPLE AND A REBELLIOUS FASHION ANTHONY LOPEZ COMMENTARY: AMIT BARIA RESPONSE: ANTHONY LOPEZ In our society today, pursuits to conform or adjust to the ever-altering trends that dictate the fashion landscape are priorities for any fashion or pop-culture connoisseur. For better or for worse, the fate of consumer America is predicated on the domineering shadow of adolescent acquisition, and even more on producers capitalizing off the individuality that consumers hope to achieve. In hip-hop culture, where lavishness and extreme excess is a requirement at times, designer and name-brand fashions have found a niche in the urban ethos catalog. Throughout its rich and relatively young history, hip-hop’s standard dress has undergone many modifications. However, one of the most essential and enduring hip-hop staples has been footwear. According to Rebecca Arnold’s Fashion, Desire and Anxiety: Image and Morality in the Twentieth Century, the cultures of feet and fashion have been negotiating for years, footwear first appearing as a necessary accessory during the 1980s when groups like Run-DMC made songs such as “My Adidas” to promote their undying love for “kicks” (Arnold 40). Fast-forward to 2002, and the marriage between shoes and hip-hop is still very much evident. Popular brands such as Nike, Reebok, and the ubiquitous Jordan brand are some of the most widely consumed and hip-hop endorsed products on the market. However, as of last year, a new phenomenon has taken the urban shoe market by storm, and reinvented the image of what it means to be “ghetto fabulous.” The phenomenon we are speaking of, my friends, is the personalized shoe.
