Summer sequels are on the way
Summer is the best time of the year by far – no school and no extra responsibilities. Also, summer is the season when large amounts of sequels head to the box office.
“Spider-Man Three” starts things off, opening May 4, followed closely by the films, “Shrek the Third,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” “Ocean’s Thirteen,” “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” and “Rush Hour Three.”
Talk about an exciting season for the big screen, which doesn’t even fully express the excitement surround the opening of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” which plans to open on July 20.
It’s beginning to look like an amazing summer.

Paris and Nicole head to camp
“The Simple Life” is making another appearance in the form of season five - coming this summer to the E! Channel.
This time Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are back and on their way to becoming camp counselors. After a rough season four with the girls apart because of a long period of fighting, they overcame their differences just in time to corrupt campers and be bad influences.
The new season brings back the appeal of season one and the idea behind roughing it - something the show has been lacking the last few rounds.
While the two girls may continue to entertain audiences, I wonder how long this reality show is going to last. Is it up to ratings or Hilton’s bank account that determines her airtime?

Bask in patio delight
Temperatures are finally warming up, making it the perfect time to hit up the patios.
There is nothing better than sitting outside in the light of a sunset after a long day’s work with your shades on, throwing back a cool and refreshing margarita.
A few places to check out that offer some great outside dinning include Bardenay and the Piper Pub.
One of the best places to enjoy the warm weather is Hyde Park.
Grab a scoop of some delicious ice cream from one of the shops or relax in Camel’s Back Park.
Now is the time to get outside and enjoy the weather before it gets too hot.

When drunks turn violent
If there is one thing that can ruin a night, it’s violence.
My Friday night consisted of watching two guys getting drunk at a house party and then deciding it would be cool to cut themselves with serrated knife – talk about not being the brightest idea ever.
Now that they have gashes in their bodies and are in desperate need of stitches, I can only continue to stress the importance of watching those liquor levels.
No one likes a crazy drunk with a knife that practices self-mutilation or violence in any form. Save the drama for your mama.
