On the road

By CJ Lotz · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 8:01 p.m.

Fill up your tank, find some friends, and grab a pad of Mad Libs, because it’s time for an excursion. We’ve hunted down adventures within 30 miles, and we talked to one student who will be driving across the country over winter break. Also, take some advice from one group of cyclists who pedaled from the mountains to the Midwest.

Get a move on

By Joe Jasinski and Alyssa Goldman · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 7:55 p.m.

Ten thousand steps shouldn’t be too much, we thought. Inside gave three people pedometers to check how far they walked in a day. Only one surpassed the recommended number of steps. Oh, and he’s a cross-country runner.

“When I’m a pedestrian, I hate people in cars. When I’m in a car, I hate pedestrians. But no matter whether I’m driving or walking, I hate people on bikes. They drive me nuts. They just come out of nowhere.”  Karin Thomas, senior

Athletes

Athlete^3

By Rachel Stark · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 7:14 p.m.

The lives of IU athletes look a lot like ours: They eat in dining halls, obsess over Xbox, and procrastinate doing homework. Three friends show us how their world isn’t as glamorous as we might think.

Pointed feet, expressive hands.

Demanding grace

By Sarah Hutchins · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 7:08 p.m.

Susan Boyle

Sending listeners to dreamland

By Adam Lukach · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 3:06 p.m.

If you’re wondering what to get your grandmother for Christmas, look no further. Susan Boyle reaches out to elderly adults everywhere with her debut album, “I Dreamed A Dream.” While Boyle’s voice is certainly refreshing, warm and distinct, the target audience seems to be forty-plus, maybe even fifty.


‘Rated R’ for maturity

By Adam Lukach · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 3 p.m.

After the enormous success of “Good Girl Gone Bad” and the allegations between her and Chris Brown, there was a great deal of intrigue surrounding Rihanna’s comeback effort. What seems to have emerged is a more developed artist who is eager to try and take her music to another level.

Adam Lambert

Lambert delivers glam revival

By Brett Eppley · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 2:46 p.m.

After what’s become an infamous performance at the American Music Awards, one might be asking — what about the music? Fortunately, unlike his performances, Adam Lambert’s debut shouldn’t be offending any listeners. This fourteen track disc is packed with something for just about everyone.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

‘Fox’ is usual Anderson

By Megan Clayton · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 2:44 p.m.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was an animated movie ... that didn’t use computer graphics? Stop motion animation hasn’t been an industry standard since I was a young ‘un who delighted in the antics of Wallace and Gromit. And while the animation was truly fantastic, it was about the only thing in the movie that was.

Funny People

'Funny People' have problems too

By John Barnett · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 2:32 p.m.

Adam Sandler turns in his best performance since “Punch-Drunk Love” in Judd Apatow’s dramedy “Funny People.” A box office bomb for multiple reasons (a mishandled and misrepresentative ad campaign; a 146-minute runtime; an art-film sheen), it’s still a modest triumph for the Judd Apatow canon.
