All is not well in the Mushroom Kingdom. There is a boogeyman in the gaming industry — an unspoken Cthulhu-like horror that threatens to derail all the progress the industry has made over the years should it fully awaken from its slumber.
I’d like to thank the Alligator for the coverage of the abortion speakout sponsored by the Gainesville chapter of National Women’s Liberation.
Picture our television shows and movies swept clean of any element that “disrespects history.” According the Chinese government, which apparently is trying to make historical scholars out of its populace, shows and movies shouldn’t include elements of time travel lest they change the look of history.
Teachers get put into some tough positions, and we’re not even talking about questions about unions or budget cuts.
On the heels of an 11th-hour deal late Friday night that averted a government shutdown, the real debate has only now begun. Debate over the debt ceiling will be heating up; if we stay on the current course, the U.S. will reach the maximum borrowing limit of $14.31 trillion by mid-May. Additionally, the fiscal budget for 2011-2012 will be taking place. The reality of the situation is that the only remedy would be major cuts, coupled with tax increases. However, many on the right say we only have a spending problem and not a revenue problem, and many on the left refuse to cut spending in favor of only raising taxes.
On a biting, harsh morning last November, I was late for school. In my haste to get to campus on time, I forgot to eat breakfast. Ten minutes into my bike ride down Stadium Road, black spots entered my vision, and I broke out into an icy sweat. Pedaling my bike seemed to take an enormous amount of effort. Then, I realized — low blood sugar and skipping meals was a dangerous combination.
If Megan Bissell labels herself as an angry lesbian, I’d have to label myself as a broken-hearted Christian. Why? Because it sucks that our world breeds angry people, let alone angry lesbians, and it sucks that “Christians” often have been the least compassionate of all. For that, I’m sorry. Jesus’ message was uncompromising and offensive, yet the soft-hearted flocked to Him because of His supernatural love. I regret that many “Christians” don’t follow His example.
When Beau Muniz walks around the UF campus, he’s almost never seen without his headphones.
To most of us, Micanopy probably is known as “that exit off Interstate 75 just south of Gainesville with Cafe Risque.”
Claire Browning had to withdraw from college during the spring semester of her senior year. A rollerblading accident caused her to fracture her back, and she said the time off that followed left her restless.
Gary Evans’ light was the only one on in the cul-de-sac Monday night. From the street, you could see heads bobbing through the second-floor window. Indoors, Justin Bieber’s face watched over the band from a calendar on the wall.
Sure, a combination of Gatorade and vodka seems like an ideal summer beverage: hydration and libation.
The walls, ceiling and floor are painted a psychedelic mural, acoustic instruments strum, dancers fluidly move to the beat, friends laugh and art thrives. The masterpiece is complete.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s bullpen went wild Tuesday night against Florida State — and not in a good way.
Suddenly, Billy Donovan finds himself as, in his words, “the only one standing.”
Disappointment is defined as the feeling of sadness or displeasure caused by the non-fulfillment of one’s hopes or expectations.
