Thumbs UpSpring Break - Finally, a chance to get away from papers, classes, and the wintry weather of Boston and relax. But can we beat the snow storm scheduled for Friday?
New Hampshire - Live free or die. New Hampshire has begun considering a bill to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana, reducing the punishment to a $200 fine. It could become the 13th state to decriminalize pot.
All-inclusives - Let the drinks flow freely as many exotic spring break destinations collect all traveling expenses into one lump sum payment. Good for the average college students who haven't quite learned how to close their wallets at the bar.
Thumbs DownRoger Clemens - The Rocket is in hot water over his testimony this month on Capitol Hill. A letter from both ranking members of the House Oversight Committee asked the attorney general to initiate a federal probe into possible perjury charges. Talk about a strikeout.
Microsoft - The record $1.3 billion fine levied by the European Union on software giant Microsoft made TU / TD's parking ticket last week look a whole lot cheaper. Will it make them change? We think not.
Tilda Swinton - Though Swinton's portrayal of a ruthless lawyer in Michael Clayton was deserving of a nod, Amy Ryan's turn as a crack-addicted mother was far more electric. And what's with the garbage bag dress?
Technology Delays - Seniors were forced to spend another day in suspense as the Mod drawing was delayed due to server problems with the housing system. Why does this happen every time we have a lottery about anything?
Homework - Professors are loading it on as papers and midterms accumulate in the week before Spring Break. Only two days left.
Circle Cinema - Next time TU / TD wants to a three-month-old movie on a television-sized screen placed at the end of a hallway, we'll go to Circle Cinema. Otherwise, the trip to Fenway is worth it.
