As a buxom blonde who talked taboo, former Sexcapades columnist and journalism senior Shauvon Torres was Sacramento State's Carrie Bradshaw. But in playing the peacemaking party vixen every Wednesday night on MTV's "The Real World: Sydney," Torres was careful to present herself as a beauty with a brain. (0) comments
As incoming freshmen, many were probably asked if they were excited to leave home and go to school. At least in the beginning, one might have earnestly thought about the question, possibly answering with a reluctant yes, but at the same time describing that friends and family will be missed.

What happened to the love chemistry? What happened to stealing kisses in the confessional? What happened to me saying to stick with Cohutta!? Ms. Shauvon herself finally had her BIA! moment when she decided to go on a belligerent, drunken debauchery show for all of us to watch. And oh, did I watch. (1) comment
The term Walking Spanish is not to strut and speak in the foreign language, but refers to the acts of forcing someone to leave or do something he or she doesn't want to do. It has no direct connection to music, but guitarist Alex Nelson still deemed it worthy enough to use as the name of his band. "It sounds cool," Nelson said, and the same can be said about his El Dorado Hills-based rock band. (0) comments
On a Wednesday night, somewhere on the Sacramento State campus, an anthem is being sung. One stanza of that anthem goes something like this: Stanza from Philippine National Anthem: Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y Tagumpay na nagniningning; Ang bituin at araw niya, Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim ("The sparkle of your flag Is shining victory. Its stars and sun Forever will never dim.") (0) comments
So we took a week off. Which is good! Shauvon needed to fall back a bit so the other roommates can have their moments. And, oh did they! It was seriously like watching a game -- and the game was called 'Who can whore themselves the fastest?' And my girl had nothin' to do with it! Score! (1) comment
It's one thing to tell someone that you may think a girl has a crush on you, but it is completely different when you tell everyone you live with that she may be head over heels for you. Dunbar had his ego served and carved to him in the latest episode of the Real World. (1) comment
Recently, Westerns have not been a hugely popular genre in America. That is sort of odd since we invented it, but it is the only genre that America? Perhaps that is why James Mangold has chosen to remake the 1957 classic "3:10 to Yuma" to follow up his last directorial effort, "Walk the Line." In making a good Western, Mangold may be able to revitalize this somewhat stale genre while satisfying America's fast-moving digital culture. (0) comments
From the geniuses behind Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin, comes Superbad, a hilarious comedy filling in the end of a packed summer movie season. Emerging into theaters at the perfect time since most of the big guns have been out long enough to allow this smaller production to flourish, Superbad is everything one expected. (1) comment
What appears as an abandoned building during the day; pulsates as a hot, thriving dance club during the night. Azukar Lounge, located on J Street, nestled between 16th and 17th St., opened in January 2007 and it hasn't slowed down since. (1) comment
I was skeptical about this new restaurant I was about to encounter, for the single reason that I had not found a great Mexican restaurant in Sacramento. Tres Hermanas changed that for me. Its qualities had so much to offer to the newcomer that had a selected taste when it came to quality, authentic Mexican cuisine. (0) comments
It can last anywhere from a day to as long as three months. In the grand spectrum of things, however, it is nothing more than a brief moment in our lives. This "it" is a fling; but unlike most, the summer fling is a bit different. Most flings are driven by lust. (0) comments
