At Aspen Creek, Try NoWait App and Fried Cheesecake
February 19, 2016 by
Aspen Creek Grill, a restaurant that claims all of its food is made from scratch, opened its Lubbock location on Feb. 1 and still has a line out the door. One Sunday after church, my mom and I decided we wanted to try and get lunch at the new restaurant. Bad idea. People were waiting outside, […]

Review: Horrible Bosses 2
December 2, 2014 by

Movie Review: Nymphomaniac
May 5, 2014 by
Once I was lying on the side of the road: beaten, bloody and unconscious. A kind soul came to me and helped me up, insisting he call an ambulance to help. I refuse, saying I’m okay and will recover quickly, but the man insists on helping and taking me to his once. Once there, I […]
