Deodorant dilemma

By Julia Boriss · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

There are so many situations in life that make me feel defeated. When I’m ascending the steps of Ballantine Hall on my way to the third floor, I often find myself losing the will to keep going and am tempted to collapse midstep in surrender to the stampede. When I accidentally pull the cord on the bus a stop too early and everyone stares at me when nobody gets off, I want to crawl inside of myself and explode. But there is one place in life where I push aside all self-doubt and understand with complete confidence that I can truly be whoever I want to be: the deodorant aisle at Target.

Spring has sprung

By Brian J. McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

Spring is here again – and I’m hunkered in my apartment with the blinds drawn, trying to ignore it. But I can still hear it out there – birds twittering, basketballs dribbling, passers-by chatting amiably – like some sort of cloying siren, demanding I be like everyone else and join in the fun. “I’m spring,” it says, “I’m bright and happy – why don’t you love me?” Blech. Spring makes me sick.

By Peter Chen · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France – At this point, no one can doubt the revolutionary effect that the Internet and in particular, blogs, have had on traditional news media.
