SunO Dessert 2144 North Decatur Road, Decatur
Where will dozens of Emory University students be at 10 p.m. on a weekend
night? Tey’ll be waiting in line at SunO Dessert, and it’s easy to see why. Estab- lished in 2005 at its original location, Athens, SunO has been working to create an enjoyable environment for young adults and a product that rivals that of Yogurt Tap and Yogli Mogli. SunO freezes and shaves their milky dessert, creating a fluffy, icy mixture very different— but by far more enticing— than the average frozen yogurt. Te menu includes recipes such as the Hawaiian (mango flavored ice with kiwi,
mangoes and strawberries) and the Brownie Overload (chocolate yogurt with brownies, cherries, pecans and caramel syrup), or customers can build their own bowl. Flavors include original yogurt, chocolate, strawberry, thai tea, coffee and mango, and customers can choose from the large variety of toppings. For fruit lovers, the not-too-sweet mango is by far the best, but chocolate is perfect for those who prefer the traditional dessert. SunO also serves a variety of other items, includ- ing bubble tea, yogurt ice drinks and several types of crepes. Overall, SunO is a great place to stop by after a dinner on the square. Mingle with the Emory students inside or grab a spot on the patio to end the night and satisfy that sweet tooth. – Amelia Tomas
Contagion Directed by Stephan Soderberg
“Don’t talk to anyone. Don’t
touch anyone.” Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) comes home from China feeling “jetlagged.” Te next morning, she falls to the ground and starts having seizures. Beth is the first case of a fast spreading virus called MEV-1. Contagion explores the pos-
sibility of a worldwide pandemic. Scientists scramble to find a cure while the rest of mankind hangs in the balance. General anarchy clouds the streets. Contagion is refreshingly
realistic. In fact, writers and actors from Contagion actually worked with experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to obtain a high level of accuracy. Tis, with the combination of an all-star cast, makes Contagion a must-see thriller of the season. Nothing spreads like fear. – Sam McLemore

President Carter Song by Lil Wayne
Ta Carter IV exploded into
airwaves this past August — perhaps the most anticipated rap album of the summer. Te album depicts complete genius or a hot mess, depending on how you look at it. Near the end of the album, in “President Carter,” Wayne hits us with something fresh. A creepy undertone fills the listener’s ears, followed by an echoey, vintage- sounding “President Carter, P-president Carter.” It’s not long before it becomes apparent that Lil Wayne did something entirely unexpected, lifting Jimmy Carter’s inauguration speech and sam- pling it in one of the biggest rap tracks of the year. Te song ebbs easily into a self-glorifying ode to his own excellence and charm— nothing new there. Te song is, of course, a shout out to his given name, Dwayne Carter. Despite all the egomania, the song is an odd mix of intelligence and trivial bragging. By the time the song draws to a close, you have to hit the back button, wondering what exactly you just heard.
