January 24, 2007. Klondike Kate’s: a rich history. Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 3:09 pm. All of this seems routine, as if it has been going on forever. However, Kate’s was not always a restaurant and bar for community members and university students to relax in after a tough week of work and classes. Klondike Kate’s is one of the oldest business locations on Main Street. It has been open for more than 242 years, revamping itself for many different forms of entertainment. He says histor...

January 24, 2007. Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 10:31 pm. Imagine being named after a refined, exotic, oriental and floral fragrance called …. That’s right. It was my dad’s idea. Thankfully my mom was opposed to the name and was a Dynasty fan in 1985, while she was pregnant. My middle name, Desireé, which sounds suspiciously similar to Rafineé, was already decided. The character of Lady Ashley Mitchell, played by Ali MacGraw, caught my mom’s attention. I love my name, it’s different, Ne...

January 24, 2007. Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 9:14 pm. A yellow beach towel is being held in front of virtual me as the beach begins to take shape on my computer screen. The last few palm trees develop on the horizon against the evening sky, which has recently changed to a pinkish orange color. No, I’m not dreaming. I am in Virtual Laguna Beach. Through the free program, fans are able to shop, attend official events and even catch in-world appearances from Laguna Beach cast members.

January 24, 2007. Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 8:45 pm. The first time I noticed it, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I squinted and drew my head to the mirror for a closer inspection. My jaw dropped the verdict was undeniable. I was 18 years old and I had a gray hair. TV journalist Anderson Cooper has written an essay, Going Gray on CNN’s Web site about the trials of graying at age 20. Alumna Lauren Butler, who graduated last year, says she started going gray around ninth grade.

Digging for gold | The Feature Well
https://udwriters.wordpress.com/2007/01/24/digging-for-gold
January 24, 2007. Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 3:01 pm. It’s late on Saturday afternoon and I’m cuddled up with my girlfriend as we watch a movie. We’ve fallen into our favorite positions, her head on my shoulder and my arm around her, her legs over mine, and a bowl of popcorn in her lap. I could not possibly be more comfortable. Suddenly, panic strikes. I’ve got an itch in my nose! Not on my nose, in it. She turns her head for a second. I go for it. Gary Laverty, associate professor o...

January 24, 2007. Cuisine from a cart. Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 10:47 pm. It’s a rainy Wednesday around noon and steam billows from a silver hot dog stand on Main Street. As Bennie Dollard cooks up a cheese steak for one of his regular customers, Sam Wyatt, they talk about his week. It’s ok, not as bad as Monday, Wyatt says. My mom always says when it rains, the little aches you have come out, Bennie says. Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 10:31 pm. That’s right. ...

Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 2:26 pm. My eyes scanned the last few lines of No Disrespect, trying to absorb every word before Sister Souljah arrived. What a better way to interview someone than to ask her about her first best-selling novel which, coincidentally, was her autobiography? I could not s...

November | 2006 | The Feature Well
https://udwriters.wordpress.com/2006/11
November 7, 2006. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 8:07 pm. It’s finals week. Plopping down at her desk to check her e-mail, anthropology professor Karen Rosenberg scans her messages, opening one from a student. The student sent the e-mail to the entire class, and unknowingly, to Rosenberg. The student said: ‘You know it’s kind of a waste of time to study for the final knowing she can only test us on part of the material. Well, there’s no way I’m studying. I’m going to Mug Night.’ she says. Those are days no more&...

Welcome back, Spandex! We missed you? | The Feature Well
https://udwriters.wordpress.com/2007/01/24/welcome-back-spandex-we-missed-you
January 24, 2007. Welcome back, Spandex! Filed under: Last words. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 2:49 pm. Spandex pants are back in style but with variation. The once fluorescent, Lycra of the 1980s used by people who wanted to keep fit, has shifted gears to in terms of color, material, and purpose. I don’t think the leggings I wear from Abercrombie are even close to the tacky ones my mom wore, says senior Victoria Kloss. The spandex look today is somewhat more sophisticated than it was back in 80s, says Faller.

October 31, 2006. Karaoke virgin’s first time. Filed under: Scene and heard. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 2:33 am. The men are trashy, the women drunk. The lights are just low enough that the sloppy girl sitting across from the equally sloppy guy can’t tell if his looks warrant him a trip back to her place later, but chances are she’ll give him a shot anyway. It’s Saturday night at Pennsylvania’s Media Inn, and I’m dressed to kill. With my parents. Filed under: Scene and heard. 8212; Susan Rinkunas @ 2:25 am.
