All of the Above: Nelson Market perfect spot for personality profiling
Jan. 21, 2009They say you are what you eat. If that's true, then I probably look like a giant Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream potato chip. But when I went to pick up some snacks at Nelson Market the other day, I noticed that what a person brings to the counter says a lot about their personality. This week, I decided to dissect some of these market staples:

That's What She Said: TV movies teach valuable life lessons
Jan. 21, 2009My addiction to TV movies began in high school. It may have been born out of empathy for their circumstance. Since they're not TV series or feature films, TV movies are always awkward by virtue of definition alone. Maybe it stemmed from my belief that happiness is possible despite amnesia, alcoholism or crimes of passion. Whatever the source of this psychosis, I've discovered it has positive effects on my life.
Movie depicts gore, horror of vampires
Jan. 20, 2009The astounding popularity of the Twilight series of books has rekindled an interest in vampires across the country. While many are hooked on the story of forbidden vampire love, the Twilight books are often looked down upon by horror fans for not including the gorier aspects of vampirism, and many believe that pretty boy hero Edward Cullen can't even be considered a real vampire. For those into horror but still wanting a human-vampire love story, Sweden brings Let the Right One In.

Article's Bush bashing uncalled for, unappreciated
Jan. 20, 2009On the lower half of the front page of my local newspaper on Friday, we were introduced to a new journalistic tool. An Associated Press article by one Deb Riechmann appeared under the headline Bush takes credit for no terrorist attack. Was this intended to be a straight news story, or just a hack opinion piece masquerading as real reporting? The so-called reporter did not get out of the first sentence before the bias emerged in the mild sarcasm in saying the President was delivering his own first draft of history. She later includes notes of the approval ratings, Bush's defiant tone, the war in the Middle East and asserts that the current economic recession is the worst in generations.

What is happening tomorrow is not a presidential review by university constituents; it is a neatly choreographed puppet show.
