Tim's Art Spot: Campus Transformation Plan
http://timsartspot.blogspot.com/2008/04/campus-transformation-plan.html
Monday, April 28, 2008. I was pleasantly surprised last week when the concerns for Cerritos's Master Plan were addressed by Roger Ernest, English instructor. I'm not sure what the Campus Transformation Committee feels about Ernest's plan, but I like it better than its plan. The current Master Plan is good but needs some work done on it. Ernest put the tennis courts back. That was the main concern I had. The school has plenty of parking and the tennis team shouldn't suffer for more parking. Talon Marks on...

Tim's Art Spot: Concrete Underground
http://timsartspot.blogspot.com/2008/04/concrete-underground.html
Thursday, April 10, 2008. Today at 11 am, Concrete Underground featured an experimental band, Cosa Nostra, and hip hop artist, Young Blaze. I enjoyed the whole concert, even Young Blaze. I am not a rap or hip hop fan, as anyone who knows me knows. What I thought was cool about Cosa Nostra is that since the drummer wasn't able to make it to the concert, the band wrote all new music the night before and experimented with a couple different key things to make up for the lack of percussions.

Tim's Art Spot: Iron Man pre-screening
http://timsartspot.blogspot.com/2008/05/iron-man-pre-screening.html
Thursday, May 1, 2008. I saw only a couple Cerritos College students at the Iron Man pre-screening last night. I was worried about not being able to get into the theater so I went early to stand in line. The theatre didn't even fill up, like Paramount hoped would happen by overbooking. About the movie, I loved it. Robert Downey Jr. plays a perfect Tony Stark. It had a lot of great humor (with a great Stan Lee cameo), great special effects and great action. The story was well thought-out. Because I'm the ...

Tim's Art Spot: JACC Conference
http://timsartspot.blogspot.com/2008/04/jacc.html
Monday, April 7, 2008. The conference was fun as always. While I was waiting to go into the critical review writing lab, I was talking to some people from San Francisco City College about what kind of things it runs on its Arts page. One person said he writes short comic book reviews. I had been thinking about that idea for a while now. My two main concerns for that were:. Do many students care? Let's face it, the comic book crowd isn't what it used to be. Will they be of sufficient length? And my page d...

Tim's Art Spot: May 2008
http://timsartspot.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Final Talon Marks issue of the semester. The final issue came out today and I have to pat the Talon Marks staff on the back. Editor-in-Chief Scott Watkins, Online Editor Steven Martin, myself, and page designer Kyle Edquist all worked hard to get those pages done and we did an outstanding job. This was a way to go out with a bang. Former Editor-in-Chief Erick Galindo deserves props for his inside pages. They are amazing. I also hope it produces a magazine over Spring Break. I wasn...

Tim's Art Spot: January 2008
http://timsartspot.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. Urinetown, something of an intro. Some time ago, someone from the Talon Marks staff told me about the upcoming play, "Urinetown.". I stood in shock for a moment. I couldn't have heard that right. Perhaps it's called "You're in Town? No, it's called "Urinetown.". Feb 5 and 6 are the audition dates at 6 pm. All I got from the Cerritos theater page is a list of characters and brief descriptions. I looked up on Urinetown's Website. That it won the following awards:. The photos are...

Tim's Art Spot: Harland Williams
http://timsartspot.blogspot.com/2008/04/harland-williams.html
Monday, April 7, 2008. Source: The Channel Guide. The morning before we left for the JACC conference, Editor-in-Chief Scott Watkins told me to check out TalonMarks.com. Apparently, Harland Williams himself posted a comment thanking me for my "Bachelor Party 2" review. If this was a real comment, that is really cool. It might be true. He was on Love Line on KROQ before the movie came out. He might be checking out promotions in the SoCal area. If that's the case, it's not a funny joke.

Tim's Art Spot: March 2008
http://timsartspot.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 24, 2008. Talon Marks adviser Rich Cameron pointed out the irony of the column. I wrote in the last issue of the Talon Marks. And the fact that the Talon Marks is now on MySpace. He knew what I was actually saying in the column but maybe not everyone does. I never wrote anything against MySpace. It's a cool site. I really like how the Talon Marks is now on MySpace. I thought the column was pretty straight-forward but some may see it as a bashing of MySpace I guess. Monday, March 10, 2008.
