Miranda did it on Sex and the City.\ Will Smith did it in
""Hitch."" Even the 40-year-old virgin did it. And now, people in
real life are doing it too, and it's happening right here in
Madison. It's called ""speed dating,"" and it's quickly becoming
one of the hottest, most talked-about ways to meet Mr. or Ms.
Right.

Madisonsingles.com is an easy-to-navigate and relatively
affordable dating website. However, the site is much better suited
for young professionals and adults than college students looking to
explore the dating scene. In addition, because the website's
subscription is cheap compared to other sites like match.com and
eharmony.com, some of the clientele seem prone to stalking and
badgering users instead of pursuing a legitimate, romantic
endeavor.

Imagine one day, you are sitting at a computer trying to
register for classes but are completely lost. Not only do you not
know what classes to take, but you don't even know what your major
is, let alone where your life will go. Then suddenly, you find
yourself wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase while listening to
Yanni in a shiny elevator on your way to chat with one of the
biggest names in business. What kind of a summer roadtrip is
this?!In 2001, undeclared students and friends Nathan Gebhard,
Brian McAllister and Mike Mariner applied for a grant from
Pepperdine University to take a roadtrip across the country to meet
with leaders who found their own, unique roads in life. After
receiving a grant, the team of three purchased a run-down RV,
painted it neon green and set out to tour the United States.

You go to the movies, and your review must admit that it was you
who was there, and it's you who's writing the review, and it's you
who has the feelings. You shouldn't try and be a ventriloquist and
say things that you think the readers want to hear, things that you
think you should say or stay away from things if you think you
shouldn't say them. You have to actually deal with the immediate
experience that you had.\

It's about that time of year again, when you and five other
strangers in your class realize you only have a week before your
group project is due.

The Daily Cardinal's Les Chappell spent an afternoon with the
Madison Hash House Harriers and shares his experiences with these
quirky, thirsty runners.

It's midterm season, and between writing papers, cramming for
tests and silently weeping into bowls of ramen, most students are
not likely to be spending much free time in front of a computer
screen chatting on AOL Instant Messenger.

Amid the buzz of the Southeast Recreational Facility, a thin
girl in a Puma tracksuit approached the office with an odd
accusation: The stupid treadmill broke my phone. Can I file a
complaint?\

A great concert film is a communal celebration that should leave
you exhilarated, invigorated and pissed off that you couldn't be
there to witness it first-hand. It takes a visionary director to
create and sustain a brisk vibe to appeal to a mass audience of
varying tastes. Brilliant Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\
director Michel Gondry has proven he is up to the task with ""Dave
Chappelle's Block Party,"" a lively chronicle of a free Brooklyn
bash Chappelle held in September 2004.

Negotiating the territory between Death Cab for Cutie's mellow
melodicism and The Cure's sense of wounded sensitivity is no easy
task, but matt pond PA is a band up to the challenge. Tonight they
play Madison, opening for The New Pornographers, but first Matt
Pond had a chat with The Daily Cardinal.

With an enrollment that reaches 50,000, it is easy for students
with disabilities to get lost in the crowd. However, the McBurney
Disability Resource Center strives to accommodate individual
students so their disabilities are not a focal point of their
college experience.

A 'fireside chat' with members from organizations concerned with
UW-Madison's sweatshop policy met Monday night to discuss the
issues facing the university.

Proposed by Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy in 1929, you
probably know the theory of six degrees of separation in respect to
the number of steps needed to link Kevin Bacon to any other actor
or actress. It should be noted, however, that the theory is
actually intended to apply to everyone, everywhere. Any one person
can be linked to another through a chain of five or less
intermediate friends/acquaintances, supposedly.

David Cronenberg's \A History of Violence"" is one of few movies
where each death is so vivid, it's nearly impossible to lose track
of the body count. The villains in ""Violence"" refuse to die
silently like those in most Hollywood films-instead, they writhe,
shake, choke on their own blood and, in one scene, stare at their
own grossly disfigured faces. Given the film's title, such violence
is to be expected. What might not be expected, however, is that it
is also one of the best films of the year.

Today the very mention of Madison's smoking ban is enough to
make most students' eyes glaze over, roll back into their heads and
eventually close as they drift into a deep peaceful sleep where
they dream of a world without broken record political debates.

I sipped my second beer and started to relax. So far my second
trip to the biker bar was uneventful. Spotted Cow was on tap,
\Hell's Bells"" was blasting from the ceiling and I was chatting up
a retired Army captain. I saw the photographer, Lauren, take
practice photos of the bar and laugh at something a biker said from
across the room.

A couple of years ago, \An Unfinished Life"" must have seemed
like a sure-fire piece of Oscar bait, complete with an A-list cast
of veterans (Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman), glamour puss
celebrities (Jennifer Lopez, Camryn Manheim), and rising stars
(Damien Lewis, Josh Lucas), and once-esteemed prestige director
Lasse Hallstrom at the helm. It's as soft and sappy as anything
Hallstrom has been involved with, containing symbolism and
parallelism so overt that Gomer Pyle wouldn't need Cliff's Notes to
understand it-and, best of all, it's a tidy, perfectly wholesome
PG-13.

My spring break started with a snowstorm and a delay just long
enough to break your heart.

In Wisconsin, we are lucky enough to have a hugely
disproportionate number of lakes all around us. During our frigid
winters, the very top layer of those inland lakes freezes suddenly
and becomes an extension of the land. Once the water is frozen,
people from across the upper Midwest go out on top of the lakes,
walking and driving on water in the annually shifting landscape.
