PREVIEW: Jay and Silent Bob @ Lincoln Theatre, 2/10

Jay and Silent Bob, the cult comedic duo featured across director Kevin Smith's filmography, are coming to D.C's Lincoln Theatre on February 10. Jason Mewes, who plays scheming motormouth Jay, and Kevin Smith, the stoic self insert Silent Bob, have been partners on and offscreen for over 30 years. They've appeared in eight movies, most notably Smith's beloved first three: Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy. While they're usually found loitering outside a convenience store, at this show Smith and Mewes will tell true stories from their lives and behind the scenes of their most famous films. It'll probably be fun enough, but either way its nice to see Bluntman and Chronic still doing their thing.
An ode to strawberry tea, snakes, and running 

An ode to strawberry tea, snakes, and running 

It’s the small things that help you survive. Sometimes, life has to become a silly little game. Maybe you can’t imagine enduring a study-abroad semester with the man who assaulted you—but maybe you don’t have to. Maybe all you need is to hold out for your next cup of strawberry tea. 

Initial reaction to blockbuster Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade

What the hell is going on with the NBA? In the early minutes of February 2nd, the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. I was playing Xbox when I saw the Twitter notification and immediately stopped what I was doing. It had to be fake. Shams Charania – a sports broadcaster who breaks major NBA stories – must have gotten hacked or received wrong information about a trade. But no, the tweet I saw was real and this trade really did happen.
