U-Haul: not the mover for U

Moving can be a pain in the ass, especially when you have to do the job yourself. The myriad boxes, unwieldy dollies and delicate china sets will make you want to submerge yourself in a pool of packing peanuts, never to surface again. But depending on which do-it-yourself moving company you call, you may have another problem to add to the list—your truck blowing up.

Carrying on: One word, just one word: plastics

Last Friday, I finally grasped that nothing I do will cure the undercurrent of stress and anxiety caused by my impending graduation and the future. Browsing through a New York Times blog called The Graduates during a break from the online job postings, I hoped to find a grain of truthful guidance through this agonizing transition. But I only found proof of the ubiquitous, undying nature of this malaise.

My advice: You gotta want it, baby

What the hell are we doing here? We spend months studying at the library, thousands of dollars on caffeine to keep our minds focused and innumerable nights wide awake worrying about tests, quizzes and papers. We put in all of this effort for a solid academic experience and yet it seems that nobody wants to hire an inexperienced college graduate.

City on a Hill: a biweekly column on D.C. news and politics

Brian Trivers has lived in the District of Columbia for all of his 59 years. His family has been on the same street in Southeast D.C. since 1869. Trivers loves the city and is about as Washington as they come. But as the Washington Nationals open their third Major League season, will Trivers be supporting them?

Patriot Act shuts up dissent

In a country where people are denied the right to travel without even being accused of a crime and government agents can secretly monitor your reading habits, it’s not surprising that an Islamic scholar like Tariq Ramadan was denied entry to the U.S.

Stanton wrong about absinthe

I just read your piece, “Goes down easy,” (Leisure, March 29, 2007) about absinthe by Chris Stanton. Unfortunately very little of the information in it is at all accurate and appears to be gleaned from goth fan sites, not reliable sources.

Fish

His feet never fit comfortably into his shoes. Once he had a pair of sneakers that made them look like the feet of a fat man squirming into a pair of dress spats several sizes too small, but mostly his feet looked like dead fish crammed into cases of canvas and leather.

Carrying on: Radiohead through the rolling fog

After finishing my last paper of freshman year, I decided to go for a walk at night to celebrate my new freedom. It was a simple walk through Georgetown, a route I often took to go see movies on K Street, but that night the pedestrian became glorious, the uncomfortable became terrifying and the everyday neighborhood looked like something out of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I was listening to Radiohead in the fog.

Campin out to get to HotLanta

Phillip McClymont was as giddy as a plastic surgeon at the Playboy mansion as he sat in full collegiate glory Monday night outside McDonough Gymnasium, surveying the crowd of fellow Hoyas who came to secure tickets to the culmination of March’s madness: the Final Four in Atlanta. Reclining in a camping chair as buddies popped open brews and enjoyed the gustatory delights of finely-aged Philly Pizza, the junior’s glow outshone even Patrick Ewing’s dog-tag bling.

Power trio

I remember about two and a half years ago standing on Harbin Field for our Class of 2008 picture during Freshman Orientation and seeing Jon Wallace, Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green standing there. They were the freshman basketball stars, one from Alabama and two local talents. I had never heard of any of them.

Baseball takes step back

After Georgetown Baseball was swept in a disappointing Big East opening series versus Rutgers, the team rebounded Tuesday, edging rival George Washington 5-4 at home. The win avenged a 17-9 blowout loss earlier in the season and had all the signs of being a major boost for the team, but Georgetown faced a setback the next day, falling to the University of Maryland-Baltimore County 9-2.

Sports Sermon

Throughout this storybook basketball season, Georgetown has shown again and again the importance of team effort. The patient Princeton offense outlasted the lightning-fast transition game of UNC. As the Hoyas prepare to take on Ohio State in Saturday’s semi-final, however, they will face a new challenge in a team whose parts are very similar to their own.
