Anticipation, optimism run wild as MLB sets into motion
(04/08/09 6:00am)
There's something in the air during baseball's opening week that thoroughly rejuvenates fans. It could be that they sense spring weather quickly approaching (Madison might be exempt from that). Or maybe it's because even elderly people are suddenly presented with the chance to wear their favorite teams' jerseys like they did back in the third grade. In my case, it was an excuse for my roommates and me to soak our apartment in the sweet aroma of delicious hot dogs.

End of Days does damper spring break a tad
(03/27/09 6:00am)
Well, I hope everybody had a nice break. With the economy and everything, I suppose lots of folks had to scale things back a bit, but I hope you at least made it to Kalahari for an afternoon. My break was OK. I mean, it was going really well, with loads of hot chicks and tons of fun in the sun and shots all around. But then one day mid-break I made the mistake of turning on the TV. Dazed from hours in the mid-March sun, I mindlessly surfed my way up into the 40s, which never ends well, as the Great Cable Channel Desert begins with Lifetime at 29. Anyway, not thinking properly, I paused for just a moment on the History Channel and got a big dose of Debbie Downer when I found out the world's going to end in 2012.
‘Duplicity’ disappointing
(03/24/09 6:00am)
The spy thriller is a pretty simple genre. Throw in some tension, a little backstabbing and a clever twist at the end and the flick should be pretty fun. That's one of the reasons why ""Duplicity,"" the new espionage tale from ""Michael Clayton"" director and ""Bourne Ultimatum"" screenwriter Tony Gilroy, looked like such an enjoyable spy romp. But somewhere along the line, Gilroy forgot to inject the fun into what should have been a happy-go-lucky movie.

Bono needs help ‘on the horizon’
(03/03/09 6:00am)
Sunday's New York Times featured an interview with U2. On the eve of the release of their twelfth studio album, No Line On The Horizon, the article focused on the band's struggle to maintain legitimacy in the face of their own 30-plus year history, the political associations of their lead singer and the commercial culture of the music today. Unsurprisingly, U2 turns out to be the hero of this story, valiantly making great music in the face of insurmountable cultural odds, all while staying true to their roots.

Take precautions when Kiera’s on the road
(02/24/09 6:00am)
For different people, the end of winter means different things. For some, it's the end of restricting clothing and the start of showing off (or admiring) those long legs in tiny, floral-print skirts. Others see it as being that much closer to a three-month hiatus from school. And then there are always the few who wake up from a long slumber and emerge groggily from the fertile soil. But those are mostly bears.
