Instructions: Just fill out the rest of this cheat sheet, cut or
tear around the edge of this space in the paper (don't forget the
dreamy picture at the top!) and glue or staple the page to the
inside of your forearm - easy!

Welcome to my lab!"" the scientist cried out to the crowd, to
Bucky Badger and even to Santa Claus. ""Are we ready to learn? Are
you ready to have some fun?"" Cheers rocked the lecture
hall.

March, a collection of studio sessions left over from the

Just when you thought the self- shaved head and lack of panties
in public could keep Britney Spears from ever having a legitimate
music career again - she's back.

Coworkers can make or break a job. Even if you have an easy job
like me, not getting along with your coworkers makes work anything
but a pleasurable experience.

I feel like I know you all well enough now to share something
about myself: I don't hate a lot of things, but I fucking hate
sleeping in airports. Of all the places to wedge one's noggin at
night, the space between those crappy airport chair/benches and
their steel arm rests is probably the most likely to make me cry
when I wake up and remember how awful the world is. Well, that and
the piece of cardboard in the garage that my parents made me sleep
on growing up. But at least that was home.

In an era where hip-hop artists' success is measured by the
price tags on their chains and overly opulent music videos for
their latest singles, T-Pain, the industry's most recent mogul,
never falls short of extravagance.

John Barton and Kenneth Cavender's The Greeks"" marks the first
time that the Madison Repertory Theatre partners with faculty and
graduate students from UW-Madison's Department of Theatre and
Drama. This historic collaboration takes place on the Playhouse
stage, the smallest of the Overture Center's three theaters.
Although most of the actors and crew members are fellow Badgers,
the play turns out to be as powerful as if it were done by the
professionals of Madison Rep.

Boy am I pleased with the election results. Not because I
answered that little quiz I took Tuesday at the polls correctly,
but because I became morbidly obese over the weekend and got stuck
in my bathtub shortly after voting and my asshole roommates think
it's so funny that they won't help me out or tell me who Team USA
drafted at starting quarterback (but I hope you're happy, America).
I'm happy with the overall election result because it resulted in
the election being all over.

Jonathan Demme had, for all intents and purposes, washed his
hands of mainstream Hollywood. Disillusioned and disinterested, the
Oscar-winning director of Silence of the Lambs"" had made up his
mind to focus on small, meaningful documentaries.

As I sit writing this column, volunteers are running everywhere,
handing me flyers, pounding on my door, asking me to make the right
choice, to make the choice America deserves. Although all the
campaigning for the presidential election will be over by the time
this column runs, another session of campaigning is just beginning:
the yearly campaign studios wage to get their respective films
Oscar nominations.

Rise up, discouraged youth! Today is our day! Seize the moment!
With one stroke of the pen, our generation can make our voices
heard and ensure a better future. One penstroke has the power to
oil the long-frozen gears of progress and accelerate the evolution
of civilization.

The memory of a multicultural coastal harvest festival is
regarded as a fine excuse to eat bird flesh and watch the Detroit
Lions throw pig skin. The execution of a recalcitrant Roman priest
has given rise to an occasion to exchange confectionary with hopes
of different oral favors reciprocated in kind. However Christmas
started, it now stands as a day to offer store-bought sacrifices to
indoor pine trees. Holidays are weird. Thankfully, though, the
Halloweens of today don't stray all that far from the original
mark.

In case you haven't been watching enough TV, our country, and
therefore the world, is in the middle of a crisis right now. Now
granted, it is a financial crisis so it doesn't actually involve
real things, just numbers and expectations, but hey, let's not get
too picky. Now that global warming is behind us, we can't expect
every new scare to match up to the spector of cities falling into
seas and cute-but-dying penguins.

Last week, Kristen Wall of College Republicans wrote on the
current state of Milwaukee Public Schools. While there is wide
agreement that the current graduation rate is unacceptable, her
solution - to disband the MPS entirely - is drastic, unwise and
dangerous.

If you were one of the unfortunate Badger fans present in Ann
Arbor last weekend, there's a good chance the Wolverines' fight
song has been playing continuously in your head since the moment
the ref blew the final whistle. The Badgers' stunning loss sent
Wisconsin crashing back down to Earth.

They couldn't do it. No way. Impossible. Return to Cookie
Mountain was too good of an album. How could TV on The Radio
follow up one of the best albums of 2006? Better yet, how the hell
could they follow up one of the best albums of this decade? With
expectations for Dear Science at impossible heights, Tunde
Adebimpe and company were going to let everyone down...
right?

One day in class (though I can't recall which), I drifted into a
certain daydream which I am quite positive every man who has been
alive and bored at the same time has entertained at some point in
his life ... or perhaps just me. It's the one where nuclear fallout
or some other Will-Smithian disaster has just occurred outside (the
details of which are not too important), trapping me and the rest
of my classmates (thanks to the zombies in the hallways) for the
rest of the foreseeable future in some Spartan classroom in
Humanities, let us say. (A variant of the scenario involves
scientists, a space station and a flesh-eating plague, but the end
result is the same.) As the tragic yet oddly intriguing truth dawns
on those of us in the room that we may never again see the outside
world, that our loved ones will have to be shoddily replaced by
either some hussy from the suburbs of Chicago or some weirdo from
Wauwatosa, the class eagerly drops whatever topic the TA had been
prodding us with like a rock to begin overhauling the little
learning community we had into a functioning society of
survivors.

I can't really think of anything better than finally buying that
food you've been craving forever and saving it for the perfect time
so you can savor it, bathe in it, etc. For me, it's sometimes Fruit
Loops, sometimes Hot Pockets, and other times smoked salmon (I have
strange eating habits).
