Local bookworm Tori Gellman weighs in with some books you should read when feeling alone, nostalgic or lost. If you’re feeling alone, misunderstood or trapped: “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things” by Brynn Greenwood Children should be allowed their time of innocence.

Over The Garden Wall a season-appropriate watch
The 2014, ten-piece miniseries first aired on Cartoon Network and has become a cult-classic in the years since. We’re in one of the coziest seasons right now. It’s autumn. The trees are turning brown and the air is cooling down and Halloween was just last week. Granted, the transition is going rather slowly, but but […]
Sisserou’s a vibrant spot in Tulsa Arts District
The restaurant specializes in Caribbean and Cuban food, and while a bit pricey, offers something for everyone. When I tell people from outside Oklahoma that Tulsa actually has a really good food scene, places like Sisserou’s are what I mean. Sisserou’s Caribbean Restaurant is located in the Tulsa Arts District, nestled unassumingly next to the […]

60 thoughts I had while listening to Weezer’s new album Pacific Daydream
Weezer’s a tried-and-true band, so their latest release is bound to have a couple good jams on it, right? 1. Variety Editor Ethan Veenker made fun of me for liking Weezer. I hope there is another “Island In The Sun” or “Beverly Hills” on this album so I can stick my tongue out at him. […]
Tigers tear Tulsa to tatters
Tulsa looked like a high school team on Friday night as it was once again blown out at home 41-14. In what has become a depressingly familiar pattern, the Golden Hurricane suffered from poor defensive effort, inconsistent play calling and an eye-widening 103 penalty yards on their way to a palindromic 41-14 loss against 23rd […]
Houston Astros win their first World Series
Last year’s World Series saw the end of a 108-year-old curse. In 2017, it was the fulfillment of a three-year-old prophecy. Back in June of 2014, Sports Illustrated graced its cover with a presumptuous headline that was greeted with a collective derisive shock from most of the sports world. The Houston Astros, it declared, were […]
Dominant end to men’s soccer season
Avenging the football loss, men’s soccer beats Memphis 6-0. It was a disappointing season for the University of Tulsa men’s soccer team, but the Golden Hurricane at least made sure to end it on a positive note. In their most impressive performance of the season, the Golden Hurricane shut out the Memphis Tigers 6-0. Freshman […]
Theory of a Deadman’s show anything but dead
The early ‘00s alt-rock band came to the Cain’s in order to give a nostalgia-fueling performance. The rockers of Tulsa filed into Cain’s Ballroom with medium sobriety and maximum enthusiasm as they hosted Theory of a Deadman this week. The raucous crowd jostled in desperate competition to approach the stage with the collective gusto of […]
