Doing phone interviews from my desk at home gets old sometimes. I like going out for my assignments. Just recently, I headed over to Strasburg to see The Joe Baker Trio perform their first gig at a coffee shop called Merenda Zug. It was all very cool and a lot of fun despite not […]

A few weeks ago I posted about my battle with senioritis. Today, I’d like to post about my battle with “conclusion-itis.” I have been in the school district of Cocalico for 13 years. Thirteen years! That in retrospect is my entire life. Everything I’ve built up, everything I have ever really known, will be […]

With the end of the school year quickly approaching, McCaskey High School’s Vidette is working hard to pump out just one last issue. For some, it’s just another issue.

May is here. Also, hopefully to stay is the nice weather. Add these two things together with the fact that thousands of students across the country are graduating in about a month and what do you get? The answer is a bug that has even bitten this blogger, senioritis.
I would first like to apologize […]

Whoops… I forgot to do a music review preview for Tom Morello/The Nightwatchman. Eh… maybe next time.
Anyway, here’s another photo of graffiti I took downtown. (Anyone care to guess what it’s in response to?) Not sure if it’s the same person who did “The poor are dying” message. Personally, I think graffiti like […]

I’ve always been an art kid, I think. It was mainly drawing when I was younger. Now it’s photography.
Currently, I have a Nikon Coolpix S4. I bought it for the 10x optical zoom and it has never let me down. Now if only it had the vibration reduction the newer S10 has, I’d be […]
