The ‘Human Broke Your Bike
OK, here’s the deal people: If your lazy ass got out of bed too late to get to class on time, and thus you’re too lazy to park your bike in an actual spot on one of the racks, DON’T FREAKING PARK YOUR BIKE AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE RACK WHERE IT’S IN EVERYONE’S WAY. I’m sick and goddamn tired of having to maneuver my way through a sea of bikes to find somewhere to park. My sexy calves shouldn’t be punished with cuts and bruises just cause I’m a good person who tries to find an actual spot.
Landlords Extort Innocent Tenants
I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to ever enter Isla Vista for the first time and think, Damn, if I ever get enough money, I’m buying out the houses on the mountainside of Del Playa Drive. Erosion may take a while, but they’ll be ocean-side soon enough. Maybe my kids could live off the rentals one day. At least they’d be able to find a house if they ever wanted to go to grad school here. Come on, I was a dumb freshman, but at least I still had the moves to juke a few water balloons tossed my way.

Spirits at last Saturday’s “Movers & Shakers” panel were somewhat dampened, and it wasn’t just because of the intermittent bursts of rain providing the background soundtrack for the panel of producers that met in the Lobero Theater that afternoon to discuss their work. In attendance were Daniel Lupi (“There Will Be Blood”), Craig Zaden and Neil Meron (“Hairspray”), James L. Brooks (“The Simpsons Movie”) and Leanne Halfon (“Juno”).
Vegetarian Victory!
When I was in sixth grade, I declared to the world that I would eat “nothing with a face.” In addition to beef, pork and chicken, this included seafood. As a lifelong animal lover – owning cats, dogs, birds and fish – I could not separate the animals I cuddled and played with from the slaughtered animals on my dinner plate.
Obama Is Great, but as a Running Mate
I am sick of this “change or experience” debate. When President Bush ran for his first term, he was against nation-building and scaling down the size of the military. The fact is, in order to really tell if someone is going to create change, we need to look at what they have done.
Dinobites
Now that the Dinobites have figured out how to use the high pick-and-roll, is there any stopping the Dinotrain?? Sadly the QB thinks there probably is. But if the guys ever learn how to shoot, watch out bball world…

Bardem Takes a Bow
Even though he is an internationally renowned movie star, Javier Bardem can’t get used to seeing his name in lights. They appeared bright red upon the marquee of the Arlington Theatre.
