It's no wonder that doughnuts are a favorite snack food. When someone brings treats to work or school, he or she nearly always brings doughnuts. After all, who doesn't prefer sugary fun breakfast food to wholesome bagels?

Trio releases catchy new album

Published Feb 2, 2006

We Are Scientists' new album "With Love and Squalor" delivers infectious hooks through the entirety of this strong pop album - just don't dig too far below the surface.Every track is single-worthy and very radio friendly, with generic lyrics filtered through faux-Cure-style vocals. In fact, dance beats and a singer trying to be Robert Smith make WAS sound like The Killers' demo tapes before they discovered the synthesizer.

Limit speech to proper times

Published Feb 2, 2006

Sequel more unbalanced than original

Published Feb 2, 2006

"Big Momma's House 2" is a bland, formulaic comedy for the masses. Though I was not amused, the only thing keeping me from an early nap was the laughter from the rest of the audience. We quickly find out that Malcolm Turner, played by Martin Lawrence, has been busy since the original film. He's married main squeeze Sherrie, played by Nia Long, and given up undercover work.

When Turner hears his partner has been killed in action, he is forced to take drastic measures.

I've become a die-hard Stars fan in the last month.A few weeks ago, I went to Big D to watch the Stars demolish the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. It was a good game.

I've driven Dallas enough to know that I hate doing it. Usually the only cheap parking to be found is on the highways during rush hour.
