Lucky for you, Bwog’s Arts Editor Kyra Bloom made this list of arts-related events that will ease the pain of midterm season. […]
Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, has died of cancer. Will Dennis Rodman attend the funeral? (CNN) Batman’s gained a few pounds, but he’s not in some Italian café—he’s fighting crime in England.
