Clone High ' Sure, it's slightly blasphemous, heretical and sometimes, just wrong ' but MTV's short-lived cartoon Clone High is on DVD and it's a necessity for anyone who's wondered how a drunk Gandhi would act. Starring the clones of famous guys and ladies, such as a socially awkward Abe Lincoln and an overly sexed Cleopatra, this show takes anachronism to a new, hilarious level. ' Justin ThompsonRed (Trois couleurs: Rouge) ' Happenstance and chance are solemnly celebrated in this 1994 masterpiece. As haunting and hopeful as any movie I have ever seen, its exploration of random human connections is enough to make anyone look twice at the person standing next to you waiting to cross the street. ' Matt BurnsStories of a Stranger ' O.A.R. (Lava) ' Ohio State University's favorite rockers O.A.R. released their sixth album, Stories of a Stranger
in October, but this spring, Ohio University students might want to reach into the iTunes vault for its high-energy, party poetry to accompany their front-porch barbecues and Tuesday afternoon Bud Lights. ' Kelly SchwaberowTalk Sex with Sue Johanson (11 p.m Sundays on Oxygen) ' Ever have those burning questions like, How can I get my boyfriend to experiment in bed? What is a French tickler? or Should I see a doctor about this itching? The experienced grandma Sue Johanson advises viewers in the ways of intimacy on her call-in show Talk Sex complete with diagrams and demonstrations. ' Kelly SchwaberowSnakes on a Plane trailer ' Enough is enough Samuel L. Jackson says, cocking a gun above his head. I've had it with these snakes. And so goes an early trailer for Snakes (which I found on thatvideosite.com), growing in popularity four months before its release thanks to some bizarre but promising publicity. Greatness is all but guaranteed with a line like I want these %*#$ snakes off this %*#$ plane! ' Matt BurnsThe Sopranos: Season 6 (9 p.m. Sundays on HBO) ' The first few episodes of this season had me doubting whether or not the best show in television history was turning in its worst season, but the past two weeks have been excellent. Tony is back on the prowl, A.J. sightings are down and typical bit characters like Paulie and Johnny Sack are getting much-deserved face time. ' Kyle KondikVera Bradley ' Although the quilted fabric material might look like something your grandmother would carry, these bags and accessories are useful, cute and very easy to clean ' just toss them in the washing machine. The newest color schemes (including my new favorite, java blue) are bright and fun for spring. I own a sick amount of Vera Bradley items, including a CD case in piccadilly plum and a bucket hat, and my collection continues to bloom. ' Caitlin Price
