With all of the reality TV shows on these days, I tend to stick to
one faithful channel—The Food Network. It is the only channel that
never makes me wonder, ""What is happening to American culture?""
and ""When did we all became such mindless simpletons?"" I mean,
honestly, how can anyone seriously feel the need to drop everything
he or she is doing to tune into ""The Real World"" every SINGLE
Monday night at 9 p.m.? I can predict exactly what is going to
happen: Amanda, the house trollop, slept with Terrance and now
there is tension looming throughout the house. Then, the prick
comes home with some floozy he met at the bar that night, and
Amanda spends the night with Molly, the good girl from a farm who
didn't drink until she came on the show, spying on Terrance and his
new tart (of course the camera goes into night vision mode and all
you see are some ruffling sheets and a few lines across the screen
that say something like: ""No one's listening, calm down."") The
next morning, she confronts him, and Sarah, the girl who don't take
shit from no one, backs Amanda up, resulting in Terrance getting
bitch slapped and a proliferation of people dropping f bombs.
Shocking.

Last Friday, leaflets encouraging students to walk out of class at
11:11 a.m. littered the campus. For the past week, UW students had
been subject to cancelled classes, teaching assistants missing from
office hours and megaphone-bearing organizers disrupting classes to
encourage students to participate in the protests. One such
organizer was walking through the halls of Van Vleck when a shout
came from the library that spoke for the rest of us: ""Shut up! I'm
trying to study!""

Here's a question: If you were stranded on a desert island and
could only listen to three records for the rest of your life, which
would they be? I think about this myself a lot, and sometimes I ask
other people their answers to make up for my inability to make
substantial conversation with other people.

I am chronically tired. I can't remember the last time I wasn't the
least bit tired. In fact, I sometimes find myself daydreaming about
sleep. As I listen to my history professor drone on about the role
of the press in post-revolutionary America and then make a
semi-humorous, completely unrelated joke about texting, all I can
think about is the two layers of memory foam and two feather
comforters that cover my bed at home and how awesome they are.

Do you have the perfect Valentine's Day date planned? Well, even if
you think you do, you're wrong––because the perfect Valentine's Day

planning on putting on some Justin Bieber shit. Yeah, we bet you
feel stupid now. Thankfully The Daily Cardinal is here to save you
and provide the following tunes for each segment of your perfect
V-Day. You can thank us for saving your relationship later.

Stem cell research is a field that seems to fly under the radar for
years until the next scientific breakthrough. Embryonic stem cells
are able to generate any cell type in the body. Many believe that
this potential provides enormous promise for individuals suffering
from a wide variety of diseases and injuries.

In the contentious partisan climate of American politics in 2011,
the unsustainability of the federal deficit may be the only major
issue on which Republicans and Democrats agree. In his State of the
Union address, President Obama proposed freezing domestic spending
for the next five years, which would bring federal discretionary
spending to its lowest share of the economy since Eisenhower. U.S.
Rep. Paul Ryan, D-Wis., emphasized the ""crushing burden of debt""
facing the country today, while new House Majority Leader Eric
Cantor stated that ""everything is on the table."" It's clear that
Washington politicians agree on the need to reduce the deficit, but
if returning to Clinton-era tax rates for millionaires is off the
table (as was made clear by the temporary extension of the Bush tax
cuts), from where can Americans expect these spending cuts to
come?

Whenever a new wave of music takes over the Internet and starts
invading the iPods of hipsters, a lot of bands are bound to get
swept up in that wave whether they like it or not. One band to both
benefit and suffer from this phenomenon recently has been Milwaukee
outfit Kings Go Forth, who have seen their profile rise
considerably in the wake of the 70's soul and funk revival.

How does society stop a murderer? In the wake of the shooting in
Arizona by Jared Lee Loughner, it leaves one perturbed by the fact
that some members of our society are suffering from mental
illnesses that may cause such violent behavior. Recently, there
have been drastic cuts in educational funding, including mental
health counselors in many schools across America. Michael
Fitzpatrick, the Executive Director for National Alliance on Mental
Illness ,issued a statement saying that although the likelihood of
violence from people with mental illness is low, ""Arizona, like
other states, has deeply cut mental health services. Arizona has a
broad civil commitment law to require treatment if it is needed;
however, the law cannot work if an evaluation is never conducted or
mental health services are not available.""

Their shortest cups are called ""tall."" Their medium sizes are
""grande,"" which is Spanish for ""large."" And their larges are
called ""venti,"" which is Italian for ""twenty,"" (which makes
sense since it holds twenty ounces, but I didn't figure that out
until I watched Role Models). Now their newest, largest cup size
yet has been dubbed the ""trenta,"" which is Italian for
""thirty.""

Last week the films selected for the 2011 Sundance Film Festival in
Park City, Utah were announced. Relatively little is known about
the majority of the films beforehand beyond a brief synopsis
released in a press release. This year there is a distinct lack of
big Hollywood celebrities promoting their own small projects or
forays into indie film. While there are certainly some recognizable
names on this year's list—Kevin Smith, Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear
and John C. Reilly—the majority isn't the usual tabloid fodder and
as a result even less than usual is known about the films.

Due to my atrocious eyesight (I'm legally blind), I am obliged to
sit in the one of the first three rows of lectures halls in order
to be able to see the board. Normally, this would not be such a
tragic fate to endure. However, I seem to attract a peculiar crowd
on a near daily basis.

Lately, my cat Pebbles and I have been in a rut (Don't be
mistaken —Pebbles is a boy. I realize there might be confusion).
He's moody and disconnected and I think our relationship is in
danger of falling to pieces.

Upon entering college, everyone told me that living in the dorms
was a once in a lifetime experience that I simply could not pass
up. They said it was THE PLACE to make life-long friends and
accumulate ridiculous stories that I would cherish for the rest of
my life and pass on to my children. In a way, they were correct on
all accounts, but left out a few minor details.
