Take it to the house

As you lie on your comfy couch, the fire blazes, the television special escalates to its climax and your stomach rumbles for food from local restaurants that don't provide delivery. Instead of being forced to pull yourself away from your picture-perfect environment, a new business, Take-Out Tonight, may provide an alternative to the daunting task (for many college students) of eating dinner.

Losing my grip

Mexico City, Mex. 8/03 I've just been robbed. Three hours have passed since my wallet was pinched and my hand is still shaking, making it difficult to scribble these words down.


Life

Ode to money

It has gotten to that point in the day when morning and night all start merging into one general sense of fatigue.


Life

Staying tuned

A few people scurry across the brick path down East Lawn, and two squirrels chase each other among the branches.

The Troubleship of the Ring

Damnit, they're everywhere. No matter how hard you try to relax, pay attention in class, watch a movie, or anything else, a cell phone is going to screw it all up.

Scoring at Sign-Up

Roughly 8,000 students on 725 teams participated in Intramural Sports last fall, according to Todd Bowman, assistant director of intramural sports. And tonight, from 7 p.m.

The Visored Knight of O-Hill

There's one experience every University student has in common. Whether you are completing your first two months here at the University or rushing to take that non-Western perspective before you graduate, you have seen Dean.

Sexual Tension

If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, this week the two planets collide for Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Psi's "Battle of the Sexes." The weeklong "battle" consists of multiple events which will determine which of the two sexes are the strongest, smartest and most philanthropic.

Odds & Ends

They sit waiting, longing to be given a home on a cozy front porch or inside a dorm room. Each individual future is unique; some will have their round bodies shaped to their owner's liking while others will remain au naturale.

Taste Buds

A little bit of Soho right here in Charlottesville. BANG!! In an effort to outdo every other eatery in town, BANG!! succeeds with a flair for the exotic and a taste for anything Asian. Situated in the vicinity of the Downtown Mall, Bang!! rests to the east of Main Street, near Southstreet Brewery.

Sound Bytes

Last week, I decided that I wanted to leave a sound byte. I was psyched, because it would be in the paper a day after my best friend's birthday, and although this isn't perfect, I looked at it as stretching out the fun.

Viva Valencia!

Hiking in the Italian Alps overlooking Lake Como. Playing guitar with Spanish musicians in a local bar.

Bookstore beats

Listening to talented a cappella groups may provide a better incentive to climb to the second floor of the bookstore than searching for a used history textbook.
