The University of Idaho Argonaut

Micki Panttaja is not excited about a single Idaho Repertory Theatre show this summer.
“It sounds cliché, but I’m excited about the entire season,” she said. “I think there’s something for everybody.”
Dean Panttaja, Micki’s spouse and the department chair for the University of Idaho’s theatre program, explained IRT in contrast to the stock system, where plays open and run for a few weeks before closing and moving on to the next show.
“Unlike many other repertories, we are truly a repertory theatre – we have a different show every night,” he said.

Housing thousands of pieces of art and spanning more than 40 acres, the Louvre is the world’s largest and most magnificent art museum.
My high school art teacher once told our class — if I remember how he worded it correctly — if a person spent one minute looking at each piece of art or display in the Louvre it would take four straight months to see the entire gallery. Upon hearing this, I became captivated.
In the summer of 2005 I went on a trip to Europe visiting four countries and viewing some of the countries’ most famous, popular and beautiful pieces of art and architecture. However, it was the Louvre that left me wanting more.

It runs through eight states and covers over 2,400 miles from California to Illinois but Historic Route 66 offers more than just pavement.
Built in 1926, the highway ran through several small towns where restaurants and stores cropped up to accommodate travelers. Most of these businesses did not survive after it was replaced by the interstate highway in 1985 but travelers can still find some off beat and interesting places to visit.  Not all of Route 66 is still open, but other highways are not far off and these even offer travelers a little bit of the old Route 66.

Snappy dialogue, brilliant performances and a semi-original plotline rescue “The Proposal” from being another formulaic chick flick every boyfriend dreads.
While it is fair to say the film is predictable and unrealistic, it doesn’t give off the hokey feeling most movies of its genre possesses.
The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock is very strong, making their sarcastic banter more amusing to watch. Their exchanges are full of wit and snark, leaving no mystery as to what kind of sexual tension exists between the two, for as much as they seem to loathe one another.

I am back on the junk.
Don’t worry, I’m not injecting heroin into my veins. I’ve succumbed to the pressure of my friends, and started playing World of Warcraft again.
I know what you’re thinking.

Encountering dinosaurs, aliens and Matt Lauer is an everyday feat if you’re Dr. Rick Marshall.
“Land of the Lost,” an update of the 1970’s television series, follows the adventures of Marshall (Will Ferrell) as he attempts to prove to the world that there are parallel universes where the past, present and future are all mixed up.

Planning a night on the town can be challenging — deciding what to do, at what time and making sure all your girlfriends can make it, but that doesn’t mean picking the perfect pair of heels for your attire has to be challenging.
Shoes in general are essential accessories to any outfit, and a great pair of heels adds a little extra emphasis to a night out. Tastefully matching heels with summer outfits can sometimes be tricky, but with a couple of guidelines it can be smooth sailing.

Ever since I saw the music video for Relient K’s “Pressing On” when I was in middle school, I was hooked. The band’s infectious melodies, catchy hooks and witty lyrics were the perfect introduction to pop punk for a kid who was raised on his parents’ classic rock and country.
I had the opportunity to see the band perform June 9 at the Knitting Factory in Spokane, and it was one of the happiest moments in my history of Relient K fanhood, except for one little thing: the mosh pit.
