The Best of the Decade
“Mulholland Drive” – Dir. David Lynch (2001)
A perfect movie with my favorite sequence ever (the scene outside the diner with the homeless person) Mullholland Drive has haunted my dreams for years. I can’t see it as parts, just the whole, like it was gilded rather than made.
EAB Team Returns With Altered Views
UCSB’s Environmental Affairs Board returned from the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark with new insights into the international political process.
Gauchos Continue Conference Play
It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for the UCSB women’s basketball team. After squeaking by UC Irvine in its conference home opener, the Gauchos (4-9 overall, 1-0 in the Big West) will now hit the road to contend with UC Davis and University of the Pacific this weekend. Over the past two seasons, UCSB has gone 30-2 in regular-season conference play, with its two losses coming against the Aggies (8-6, 1-1) in 2007 and the Tigers (3-9, 1-1) in 2008.

A panel of UCSB faculty members met yesterday to discuss last month’s United Nations Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Deliver Us From Re-run Hell
Over the break, after a terribly lame night of untangling Christmas lights or being your parents’ own personal Geek Squad, you may have hunkered down in front of the trusty TV for some much-needed quiet time. Unfortunately for you and me, abso-freaking-lutely nothing happened in television over the break.
To Float or Not to Float?
The Associated Students Legislative Council discussed a number of issues and proposals at last night’s kick-off meeting of Winter Quarter.
Love, Senior-Citizen Style ***
Filmed and set in our own Santa Barbara, Nancy Meyers’ new romantic comedy, “It’s Complicated,” delivers the laughs and a hell of a view along with it.
Lil Wayne Denied Rebirth *
PREFACE: Lil Wayne’s newest record, Rebirth, was accidentally shipped to some 500 Amazon customers who had preordered it. I was lucky enough to track down one of the physical copies. It appears that this leak has caused Universal to delay the album and possibly rework the track listing.
Children Know Best
You know, our generation is highly underappreciated.
