I don't get DC comics. They've taken a few bizarre steps. Back in the day, it just used to be Superman flying around until he had to punch Lex Luthor in the face, break the laser, rescue Lois, and then repeat. But that doesn't happen as much anymore. For one thing, Lois has been kind of on and off with Superman after Lois-2 (That's not our Lois, our Lois is Lois-1) died as a result of Lex-3's manipulation of Superman-2 and Superboy-Prime (Did I mention there's another Superboy?), and as it turns out Superboy-Prime was evil and killed the morally-conflicted Superboy-1 (Ours) and about thirty other characters that no one is ever going to care about.

The last few months have been eventful, to say the least, for Jared Mezzocchi '07, for it has been a period of accomplishment and one, as many have said, of grace. Mezzocchi has just completed shooting for his independent film and theatre project, "The One Stoplight in Hollis.

Something very funny happened in Boston. Of course, to some people, it must not have seemed funny at all. Apparently, it seemed like the beginning of the end. On January 31, 2007, after seeing some strange devices placed inconspicuously around strategic parts of the city of Boston (on bridges, landmarks and areas of high human traffic), an area resident, whom locals have taken to naming, "some idiot," called in what was perceived to be a bomb.

Locks have come off the Village apartment windows for what a memo from the Office of Residence Life is calling a "trial period of the spring semester."

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium The Peppers' latest double-album proves that they are one of the most amazing rock bands in the world. "Arcadium" serves as a reminder that they are definitely and have grown from the days of showing up at concerts wearing only socks (You know what I mean).

It seems like we hear Christmas music on the radio and in the elevators earlier and earlier each year, up until the point where it becomes scary. Why does listening to Jingle Bells on Halloween seem somewhat appropriate? Regardless, there are always a few of these seasonal jingles that everyone can enjoy.

Prices are going up, people are being shot and trampled in respectable retailing establishments, finals are in two weeks, and it's cold outside. Is it Christmas time already? Indeed it is. The holiday season is upon us and what better way is there to celebrate than buying things? This year's must-have items: the PS3 and Nintendo Wii.

Two and a half decades is kind of a long time to wait for a sequel, and it's been 24 years since the legendary English rock band, The Who, put out an album, its last one being "It's Hard" in 1982. I can still remember when my dad used to drive me around when I was a kid and play old Who hits, which had to be some of the greatest songs of the second half of the 20th century.
