Ladies, the term "chick flick" has been coined by men to describe any movie high in emotion and lacking in explosions, car chases, graphic sex and so on. Of course, knowing the depth of many young adult males, we cannot base the merit of our movies on their definitions, nor do we have to be confined to finding life, love, and sex lessons in only these feminine films.

"No I haven't read that one yet… I'll just wait until the movie comes out." Have you ever heard or used this phrase? I know that I have. And hey, it contains an element of truth - if a book is any good, they are going to turn it into a movie.

The administration and students are at it again. This time the issue is the creation of Dante House, a section of Wayne Hall that will house the incoming class of Honors Program students - whether they like it or not. This idea of themed residence halls is expected to grow within the next few years, including Seneca Hall as a building for writers (although no one will be required to live there).

Fight Club is an awesome movie. It has a great plotline, some classic lines and Brad Pitt frequently sporting sleeveless tanks. What more could you ask for? But recently, when you hear those two words, chances are the person you are speaking to is not talking about the movie.

Binghamton University students took a slightly different approach, holding a traffic-stopping protest that ended with over nine students being arrested. And the question I find myself left with is… so what?

As I was sitting at my computer this past weekend trying to decide on a column topic, I couldn't help noticing that my brain was not completely focused on the task. Instead, it was running through a list of all the things I have to worry about at the moment: an upcoming psychology test, apartment details, pending midterms and a lack of cash flow to name a few.

The next time you find yourself sitting at a particularly long red light, take a look at the tops of the poles surrounding the intersection. Perhaps not in Geneseo, but in many more metropolitan areas, chances are you will see security cameras facing various points of the intersection.

This week I spent some time scanning CNN.com looking for an interesting story that I may have an opinion about. What I came away with was the urge to lie in bed with a box of tissues and wait for the end of the world: An uncontrolled spy satellite is hurtling toward Earth, a helicopter crashed into a freeway and a body was found in an industrial park.

Quidditch, the alpha sport of Hogwarts and the general wizarding world, the ultimate test of flying ability, agility and speed, where heroes rise and losers literally fall, is now at a college near you.
