Esherick’s Island

Now sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a Georgetown team … They’re struggling through their ups and downs to try to reach a dream. Our season started out OK as Georgetown won eight straight, Although the teams the Hoyas played were really not that great.

Thank me later

Forget football. The game to which I devoted so much time, energy, and money for pitchers has broken my heart and left me for dead. As if it wasn’t bad enough that I went to the final game at the Vet expecting to tear up the seats as the final whistle blew, I had to then sit through a boring three-hour craptacle some people call the Super Bowl.

The Sports Sermon

We just don’t get what all the fuss is about! People keep bitching and moaning about coaches and athletes like they’re doing something wrong, but we just don’t see it.

Yeah, so what if LeBron James has a $50,000 Hummer that he drives to school every day? Didn’t we all? And who cares if he hit another woman’s car and drove away … we’ve all been there.

Picture this: It’s a little after midnight early Wednesday morning, and you have a column and a three-page thesis outline due later that day. So what do you do?

Taming old variables

“What if we moved back to New South? Would that be amazing, or just horrific?” asked my roommate one night as we walked back from the cafeteria. Devoted New South ex-residents, we began reminiscing about the fun we’d had there—being thrown in the shower at 2 a.

Their light-hearted and entirely uncontradictory essays in last week’s issue of the Voice truly provoked deep introspection amidst the activist community at Georgetown and struck a note of discord within the greater peace and anti-globalization movements, to whom the articles were mass e-mailed.

Losing it, whatever it is

The first movie that a friend of mine recalls watching as a child was a gay porn flick. Telling me this story, he remarked that while he had most likely been introduced to Sesame Street before John Holmes, puppets didn’t make quite the same impression. My friend described it as akin to watching Freud’s primal scene with a twist: He wakes up one night and goes over to his door, which is partly open.

On the Road to the Supreme Court

You have 30 minutes to present the most important argument of your life. You try to keep your carefully constructed thoughts in order, but you cannot stop the barrage of questions from the top nine legal minds in the country. You have never argued in a court like this before.

Protest fashion worth fighting for

With an estimated 259,342 people in attendance, this weekend’s anti-war protests grabbed the attention of many a District resident. However, none were more impressed than D.C.’s fashion gurus, who were stunned by the arrival of this season’s protest couture.
