Madison movie theaters are being bum-rushed by recent releases
from filmmakers commonly considered to be auteurs—directors whose
distinctive artistic personalities are inscribed all over their
respective oeuvres. Werner Herzog's ""Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call
New Orleans,"" Michael Haneke's ""The White Ribbon,"" Martin
Scorsese's ""Shutter Island,"" Roman Polanski's ""The Ghost
Writer,"" John Woo's ""Red Cliff"" and Noah Baumbach's
""Greenberg"" will all enjoy runs on local screens this month. But
before we can say whether these aforementioned movies are truly
""by"" their directors, it'd be worthwhile to take a look at the
history of the auteur theory.

With soft waves, a gentle breeze and some easy feelings, the
introduction track of Gorillaz' newest album, Plastic
Beach, immerses you into a world of tropical peace. The next
song, ""Welcome to the Plastic Beach,"" features Snoop Dogg, and as
its title suggests, the song drives this beachy point home.

Ya casi hemos llegado. El punto medio del año. La semana para
relajarse, dormir, comer cosas deliciosas, divertirse, y la semana
en cuál nos olvidamos de la tarea, los exámenes y la universidad.
Las vacaciones de la primavera.

I'm a 19 year-old straight guy who really likes getting a
good spanking. The problem is, I can't find any women who would
actually like to spank me... Do you have any suggestions about
where or how to meet women who could be into spanking young men on
campus?

Oh los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno, ¿a quien le importan? ¿De
verdad hay un evento deportivo de dos semanas en el que solo se
practican deportes sobre hielo y sobre nieve? Menudo coñazo.
Prefiero ver un partido de fútbol en el que gana Real Oviedo fíjate
bien. Estoy segura que todos y cada uno de estos comentarios han
salido de mi boca en momentos del pasado.

High on Fire give off a very pleasant vibe while not exactly
fitting into the traditional doom metal mold. The trio of San
Francisco musicians formed the band in 1998, and their fifth studio
album, Snakes for the Divine, manages to keep the genre
fresh while attempting to emphasize the ""stoner"" elements. As
always, guitarist/vocalist Matt Pike's shredding skills remain at
the forefront of the album and overshadow most of the other
compositional aspects of this release.

Designers, models, stylists, press, celebrities, photographers
and buyers flocked like Ritalin-deprived lemmings to New York City
to take part in fashion week from Feb. 11-18. The weeklong event
showcased 2010 fall and winter ready-to-wear collections from top
American designers, including Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenburg
and Rodarte.

¿Hay alguien a quien realmente le guste vivir con otras
personas? Porque en mi opinión es la experiencia más incómoda que
un estudiante de universidad tiene que soportar.

El otro día estaba viendo el episodio de ""The Bachelor"" cuando
una de sus concursantes, Ali, salió del programa para no perder su
trabajo. Ella era una de las cuatro mujeres que seguían en la
búsqueda del verdadero amor con el soltero de oro, Jake. Cuando
faltaba poco tiempo para que acabara el programa, me pregunté si
ella hizo la decisión correcta.

For many UW students the city of Madison really is just ""77
square miles surrounded by reality."" But students who venture
outside the campus' bubble of higher education, vibrant political
activism and its college-town atmosphere may discover outliers like
Allied Drive, which has notoriously been one square mile of chronic
destitution surrounded by the Madison Police Department.

It's been almost a month now since the renowned French filmmaker
Eric Rohmer died. Rohmer's legacy is more or less uncontested: The
consensus opinion is that he was responsible for some of the
smartest, subtlest and, above all else, talkiest films ever
made.

The Bohemian life, la vie Boheme, of ""Rent's"" star-studded
cast illuminated the stage for four days at Madison's Overture
Center two weeks ago, and I was among the lucky ones to be touched
by not only the amazing musical talents of the performers, but by
the enduring message. ""Rent"" was created to mirror humanity in
its purest form, depicting extreme poverty, disease and heartache.
It was a successful Broadway tour because it touches people
emotionally, connecting people in ""an isolating age."" Walking
back down State Street after the show in the frigid winter air,
cold despite my warm clothes, my attention was drawn to the
homeless not on stage, but on the street. They did not belt out the
chords of ""Life Support,"" but their plight struck me in a way it
had not before. I did not see these people as annoying panhandlers
or creepy old men. Like the song ""La Vie Boheme,"" I saw these
people as ""an us, instead of a them.""

Nueve. Nueve días de universidad y ya me siento como si el
trabajo ya hubiese empezado. Tengo una teoría: al principio del
semestre, ya sea después de tres meses de verano o tres cortas
semanas de descanso, existe un periodo de dos a tres semanas de la
universidad llamado ""el limbo."" En este tiempo, los estudiantes
niegan que la universidad haya comenzado. Por lo menos, esto es lo
que me pasa a mí. ¿Cómo puedes saber si estás sufriendo el mismo
problema? He aquí las cinco fases.

If you've ever wanted to try a fancier restaurant for a date or
a night out with friends but couldn't because they were too
expensive, now's your chance. During Winter Restaurant Week, which
runs through Friday, you get to experience restaurants you may not
have been able to otherwise because 31 restaurants in and around
the Madison area are lowering their prices. You can get a
three-course dinner for $25, with big enough portions to share.
Thirteen restaurants are also offering a three-course lunch for
$15, which is a great bargain for some amazing food.

Cada 31 de diciembre miles de personas deciden empezar el año
nuevo con una lista de propósitos que les ayudarán a mejorar como
individuos. Dietas para adelgazar, hacer ejercicio, beber
menos...etc. Yo, como todos estos ilusos, también me plantee
mejorar personalmente en el 2010: quiero dejar de fumar. Sin
embargo mi propósito no se me planteó el 31 de diciembre. Es más,
en la fiesta de nochevieja debí fumar más que en toda mi vida. Creo
que sufrí las consecuencias del humo y el alcohol durante más de
una semana.

Dado que ya se acercan estas fechas tan señaladas y ésta será la
última sección en español del semestre, he decidido que sería
importante hablar de la Navidad. Como yo soy española, hablaré de
cómo se celebra la Navidad en España, y las diferencias con la
Navidad en norte América. He aquí las fechas mas señaladas y los
símbolos importantes de las fiestas navideñas.

Growing up as a sports fan in New York, I pretty much had it
all—historic franchises, arenas, rivalries and most importantly,
fans sincerely obsessed with every part of it. Really the only
thing the area lacked was a classic college sports experience. And
now, after three and a half years in Madison, I feel fortunate to
have been a part of this unique environment.
