Band hits campus, campus hits bottle

If you didn’t make it to the O.A.R. concert on Friday night in McDonough Gymnasium, it’s likely that one of your friends did. In fact, that friend probably called you from his cell phone in the middle of the show and was probably standing right next to me, talking about how he was “sooooo wasted.

A little Love, mostly Anger

Once upon a time, there lived a lawyer who cared. Imagine: A driven, self-serving man from a privileged background makes a name for himself as a partner at a prestigious law firm, then throws it all away to serve the unfortunate and marginalized out of a run-down basement office in the shoddy part of town.

Let’s face it. Midterms are starting, and some of us just don’t have the time for full-on cultural revolution. Yet even in the downtime of a revolution, we must still try to keep the hearts and minds of the people. To keep the spirit alive this week if you are too tired to head out to a rock show or check out a museum, hit up a local video store and check out some flicks that have been wrongfully ignored by the masses.

Attention Georgetown?There are facilities for you to use the bathroom. Please use them. Do not use the tent or the bushes.

I’m sorry, did you not read my voices piece? I’m a great man. Could you find anyone better than me?

You’re awesome, your room is awesome, and your phone is kick ass.

On Instigator, Miller embraces new sound

Rhett Miller is in love. He’s in love in a way that appeals to cynic and romanticalike. He’s so damn in love he can make all 12 songs on his new album, The Instigator, love songs. While references to the likes of Kafka, Air Supply and the works of Don DeLillo might ensure that his songs won’t find wide radio play anytime soon, each of Miller’s love songs is crafted to be instantly singable even if you have yet to learn the words.

Solar sportz

As any mathlete or quiz bowler can tell you, experiencing the thrill, the palpable rush of no-holds barred competition doesn’t require heavy exertion. Racing to solve for x, y, and, yes, z in time to beat the competition and hold on to your lead is as intoxicating a feeling as you’ll find anywhere (outside of three gin and tonics).

Men’s soccer rebounds against Princeton

The Georgetown men’s soccer team held off a second-half charge from Princeton University to win 3-2 on Tuesday at North Kehoe Field. The Hoyas’ overall record is now 4-5.

On Saturday, the Hoyas played sluggishly against Big East opponent Boston College and lost 3-1.

Quinn keeps on scoring

First-year field hockey forward Jessica Quinn looks like a woman on a mission when she takes to the field. She stares down the opposition and seems to run right through other players to reach the ball. So it comes as no surprise that she leads the Georgetown field hockey team in points and goals for the season.

Giants and Cardinals will meet in the NLCS

OK baseball fans, here I am for the second week in a row, giving you the sweet and low down on the MLB playoffs. So far all of my predictions from last week have come true, so if that’s any indicator then you better listen closely to this weeks predictions as I take a look at the National League.

The Sports Sermon

Fie! We cannot contain our odium for the team that hails from the hamlet previously named New Amsterdam. We decry all those sportsmen donning pinstriped suits and jaunty blue caps whose arrival means the raiding of our small burh. Harvest after harvest, the blasphemous prudhommes George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and Joe Torre impose unfair tallage all o’er the land, pillaging our finest base-ball men for their squadron and leaving us with only a few beggared peasants with which to fill our rosters.

Fakin’ it

It’s 11 p.m. on a beautiful October night of last year. The Yankees have just made another ridiculous comeback off Byung-Hyun Kim and the Diamondbacks in the World Series. As I’m about to head out to drink away my sorrows, I find myself checking away messages on AOL Instant Messenger.

There are disabled Hoyas, too

Most Georgetown students are not at the mercy of broken elevators, sullied ramps, unmarked paths or complex directions when going to classes, dorms or the cafeteria. Physically disabled students shouldn’t be either, but the University’s record of providing adequate accessibility for mobility impaired students is mixed, if not dismal.

MPD: Only half right

This past weekend, an estimated 2,000 demonstrators descended on Washington, D.C. to protest the scheduled meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. In the weeks leading up to the protests, Washingtonians voiced their concerns about the safety and security of their city, citing rioting at previous gatherings in Seattle, Milan and here in the District.

A stink in New Jersey

On Monday, Senator Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.) announced that he would no longer seek re-election to his senate seat. He was formally denigrated by a bipartisan Senate ethics committee this summer for accepting illegal gifts and contributions in his 1996 election campaign.

A man for all seasons

I am a great man. I’m also really good looking. Fabulous, even. I have a variety of sports jerseys and a diverse music collection. I probably know more about basketball than you, and your favorite band definitely sucks as long as Rolling Stone says so. My eyebrows are quite defined, and I’ve been complimented on them a lot.

Letter to the Editor

I disagree with Gilbert Cruz’s article questioning the reputation of Seven Samurai (“Kurosawa classic hits AFI,” Sept. 12). Kurosawa’s masterpiece deserves every bit of praise it has received over the years and belongs at the top of the film canon for any student of the medium.

I gotta find peace of mind

I stand apart from my friends on the lawn of a concert venue during a Lauryn Hill show. I look through my glasses at Lauryn, sitting with her head wrapped. A spotlight focuses on her, her microphone and her guitar. An MTV logo floats behind her shoulder. She begins her song called “Mystery of Iniquity,” a guitar strikes and she croons, “It’s the mystery of iniquity ? “Said it’s the misery of iniquity ? “Said it’s the history of iniquity.
