Valentine’s Day is upon us yet again. Whether you’re single, in a relationship or just have a vendetta against Hallmark, it’s inescapable. Candy hearts will rain from the skies, and the streets will run white with teddy-bear stuffing.

I never understood the allure of the “Madden NFL” franchise. Aside from the greatest sports commentator who ever lived, the game is boring if you’re not a sports fanatic.

In fact, we’d go so far as to say Gainesville’s got a vintage selection that’s the Rolls-Royce of second-hand-shop selections. Peruse the merchandise at these retailers and you’ll be sure to snatch a find that’s one-of-a-kind. After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Like many students, I’m pretty much broke. I’ve eaten Burger King at least six times this week, I worship ramen, and every penny saved is a video game earned. Spending $50 or more on a blockbuster title might make gamers into mindless slaves of consumerism and pretty graphics, but that is a curse we’re willing to live with.
Social media sites were ablaze last week with outraged updates after news reports said the horoscope we knew and loved was all wrong.
If you’re looking to revamp your home decor and your attitude, the resolution could be simple: Liven up your living space.
