Intermission’s guide to making the most out of your Saturday morning garage sale runs

Infomercial Fitness Equipment
The Total Gym – sure, it might sound like a good idea at 2 a.m. on a Thursday morning, but you’ll probably think otherwise after making those bothersome “monthly payments of only $199″ for three years straight while the thing collects dust in your garage. Why be forced to make an expensive mistake [...]

Unknown music is the Russian roulette of garage sales

Unknown music is the Russian roulette of garage sales

Garage sales offer you a window into someone’s life. In no way is this clearer than in their music selection. Rifling through people’s old CD’s can give you a sense of what type of person they are, what type of taste they have and what type of taste they had (and would rather not remember). [...]

Roxy sells herself cheap on a front lawn

Roxy sells herself cheap on a front lawn

Roxy seems to recall a fashion and style article that told you kids not to spend all your money at Ikea last week. What’s so sexy about furniture that doesn’t have any vowels in its name? Nothing. Unless you’re into that sort of thing.
Silly Stanford students, you never listen. That’s why you’ve had to spend [...]

Where else can you kung fu/dance/kill?

Coming back to the Farm for another long year of classes usually puts a lot of issues on the mind of the average student. Everything from what classes to shop to which side of the room the bed should be on infiltrates our delicate minds and causes a level of stress that in no way [...]

Oliver? I Barely Knew Her!

Oliver? I Barely Knew Her!

The esteemed director / statutory rapist Roman Polanski returns to the theme of desperate isolation that garnered him an Academy Award for the devastatingly beautiful “The Pianist” with a new film adaptation of the Dickens classic “Oliver Twist.” Though a straight-forward literary translation absent seemingly ubiquitous hot young movie stars, the expertly paced 135-minute epic [...]

Moving beyond the gridiron

Moving beyond the gridiron

Given the recent display (or lack thereof) of talent by our football team, many on campus have become depressed about the state of athletics on the Farm. While judgment on the Walt Harris era is a bit premature, losing to a program that is still transitioning into D-I doesn’t bode well for the rest of [...]

Stanford faces Oregon in Pac-10 showdown

Stanford faces Oregon in  Pac-10 showdown

The Pacific 10 Conference is known as the “Conference of Champions,” and rightfully so, at least in women’s volleyball. Stanford (14-1, 3-0 Pac-10), which travels to Oregon tonight, has found a more-than-suitable niche in that conference.
The Cardinal have won six national championships, with Southern California and UCLA each adding three of their own. Washington is [...]

No. 3 Card extend win streak to 13

No. 3 Card extend win streak to 13

Stanford 41, Oregon State 0. No, that’s not a football score.
That’s the number of wins in the head-to-head series between the No. 3 Cardinal women’s volleyball team and the Beavers. Stanford (14-1, 3-0 Pacific-10 Conference) began its winning streak against Oregon State during the 1981 season and continued it last night, 30-19, 30-15, 30-28. There [...]
