Screw it. I can't find anything interesting other than the iPad. And who cares about that, really?

Spring and Spring Break |

Springtime is finally coming to Tiger Town-- it's been a long, cold lonely winter. Out of the (metaphorical) snow sprouts new life in the form of green grass and leaves. Indeed, shorts weather is here, and we all know what that means--Spring Break.
Five more days of classes, and we're done. One week off--March 13-21. Fun times all around, especially if you live in a college town but don't like college students.
In other news around campus,
Student body Senate election results - For the upcoming year, Ryan Duane will serve as Student Body President and James Wood will serve as Student Body Vice President.
Groucho's Deli (104 Finley Street) opened for business.
And in other news around the world (sort of)
"Alice in Wonderland" has shattered all box office records with $116.3 million in the first weekend (2nd is "Brooklyn's Finest" at $13.5 million....if you care about that kind of stuff) Drug dealers all around are grateful for this and are celebrating their new 5000% Sales boost.

Even though we'll all be writing 2009 (and having to scratch it out) for a few more weeks, '09 is finally over. Welcome 2010.
2009 was a strange and historic year. The biggest crowd ever in the capitol mall watched peacefully as we got our first African American president (a mere 200 years after Abraham Lincoln was born.) Nearly immediately, he was awarded a Nobel Prize for peace, even though he's conducting more war operations than Bush did. The year ended with a dude trying to blow up a plane with a bomb in his pants. It was a very strange year.
NASA confirmed that there is water on the moon and possibly on Mars, which is comforting since the science on global warming has us scrambling for an alternative to the home planet.
People did crazy things, like having 8 babies at once--on purpose--, crashing Whitehouse parties, and pretending to send a kid aloft in a balloon. Perhaps even stranger, banks and financial institutions got enough money from the government to be able to afford huge bonuses while millions of Americans lost their jobs, leaving many of us asking, "wtf were they thinking?"
Here in South Carolina, things were especially bizarre, as per usual. Our governor protested the Federal government bailout by following the Appalachian trail all the way to Argentina to meet with his mistress. Representative Joe Wilson yelled "you lie" at the president, in an abrupt departure from the "criticism of the president during a time of war is treason" doctrine.
2009 was a year of losses, and not just for the Cardinals. Thousands of Americans lost their jobs, huge numbers lost their houses, and many lost their insurance and their savings. We lost people as well: Teddy Kennedy. Patrick Swayze, Farrah Fawcett, Micheal Jackson. Les Paul and John Hughes. Walter... [Read More]
