Pondering possible afterlives
I came down with a nasty sickness over the weekend. Not like, “Achoo—can I have more ginger ale and bon bons, Mommy?” sick. It was more so, “Fuck, I’m going to die, goodbye, :(” sick.

Racks of ornate tapestries, slinky minidresses and spiky jewelry lure fashion forward students to Urban Outfitters on State Street, and the retailer’s college discount days and extensive sale section make it a dream for those on a budget. Unless, that is, you operate at a social frequency more attuned to the politically suggestive undertones coursing throughout the popular clothing outlet, at which point it becomes a nightmare.
Late turnovers doom Iowa at home as Badgers win 28-9
As many of you know, earlier this year Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill banning the “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” throughout Russia. These laws have made it illegal to hold gay pride parades and events, to defend gay rights through the media and to inform minors about the gay and lesbian community. Not only have these laws been imposed on citizens of Russia, but also on foreigners and the media, with fines of up to $31,000 being implemented. Due to the vagueness of this law, citizens and foreigners alike in Russia can be arrested simply for stating that they are gay.
On Dec. 22, 2013, I will be walking down the aisle in the Kohl Center wearing a sort of dress, shaking hands, smiling for pictures and mostly just being happy for being done. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved my three and a half years here at the university, but when the finish line is so close, it’s tough not to salivate at the chance to cross it.
“Best Freakfest ever with my best girls #halloweeekend.” The world of Instagram is generating much more than ever imagined. Photos explaining what you did the night before, or photos of the best meal you’ve ever had. At the end of the day, it does not really matter what you throw down on that social network, it just matters how many likes you get. Yes, I said it, people Instagram to see how popular they can be. It is a way to measure ones own popularity. Do not get me wrong, I am one of those many girls who Instagram all the time.
As you may have heard, Camp Randall will hold spring commencement this year. In previous years, commencement was held at the Kohl Center over the course of an entire weekend. The ceremonies were broken up by schools and colleges into four ceremonies, with Letters and Science on Sunday, and other schools Saturday. The switch to Camp Randall means all 6,000 spring graduates will sit on one field to experience, for the first time in history, a communal sense of Badger pride, all together, everyone, rain or shine.
Franchise fatigue is usually thrown around among video game players like pizza among the hordes of drunken friends you invited down this past weekend. It’s natural for people to hunger for a new series after playing through the twelfth “Call of Duty.” I’m someone who abhors the concept, and have mostly given up hope for new intellectual properties in the AAA space. If you’re hungering for new experiences check out the indie space, it’s the video game Mecca of innovation right now.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department distributed a release Monday warning students the trend of high intoxication levels continuing over Halloween weekend could someday cost a life, citing two incidents of excessive drinking on Saturday.
After a three-year “drinking” streak, the Majestic Bird flies again. The Daily Cardinal beat its fulsome foes in flag football on the battlefields of Vilas Park Saturday. And for the first time in three years, it was a day of ULTIMATE GLORY.
It was not the news I was expecting to wake up to Sunday morning: Lou Reed dies at 71.

This weekend, Camp Randall played host to a great college football upset. Yes, the Northwestern Wildcats, the then No. 19 team in the country traveled to Wisconsin and lost. But here’s the weird part: It didn’t feel like an upset. It didn’t feel like a big deal. It felt like just another home win for the Badgers.
As you will recall if you read Page Two week to week, semester to semester, a columnist named Adam Wolf and I shared the page each Wednesday last year. While I tried to change my subject matter week to week with interesting and funny observations about life and media, Adam had a consistent set up in which he could write his article in 15 minutes and reap all the rewards that a successful Page Two columnist deserves: girls, money, fame, delusion. Now that Adam is presumably dead or graduated, I thought I would write my tribute to him and his infallible column. This is my Wednesday Morning Hangover.
The over-four-year initiative to create a College of the Arts was dropped in the spring, replaced by a plan that would revamp the Art Institute instead, University Committee Chair Michael Bernard-Donals said at a Faculty Senate meeting Monday.
"Finnegans Wake" takes the shape of an hourglass in its circular narrative.
What is the shape of a book? Rectangle, says the wisecracker, or square if it’s a coffee table tome. Maybe you’ve read a triangle shaped book once before. Who knows? But I’m not talking about book shape, per se. I’m talking about the shape of the story.
