In light of Valentine’s Day, I recently watched the appropriately hackneyed He’s Just Not That Into You. At one point, Drew Barrymore’s character complains about the struggles of modern dating: “I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work so I called him at home and then he emailed me to my Blackberry and […]

Last week, the Journalism Club released its first issue of The Davis Beat, an independent publication hoping to deliver investigative journalism and provide an alternate source of news to the campus. Editor in chief Adrian Glass-Moore and managing editor Kevin Pelstring obtained approximately $1,675 in initial funding from ASUCD’s Club Finance Council (CFC) and $150 […]

Religious donations from a tithe box at Islamic Center of Davis were stolen this past Tuesday in the middle of the night by an unknown male wearing a baseball cap with sunglasses on top. The fashion-impaired thief entered the center from an open window and drove off in a white four-door sedan. The Aggie expresses […]

On Feb. 27, there will be informational pickets of labor environmental and student activists at the Whole Foods near campus at 5 p.m., and then additional pickets outside Freeborn Hall starting at 7 p.m., in response to the hosting of Whole Foods CEO John Mackey by the UC Davis Graduate School of Management Dean Steve […]

Sandbox Politico Last week I attended a Senate meeting to thank the six who would be terming out for their service — I legitimately meant it — and then the Senate proceeded to do something so incalculably stupid I immediately wanted to take it all back. They moved into an unscheduled closed session. A closed […]

Some shake Only I would happen to catch the weirdest fucking episode of “Dexter’s Lab” while all alone at four in the morning. The universe loves to fuck with me like that. Earlier, we were in the garage getting drunk around an old television set that we had accidentally set on fire. It didn’t take […]

Memory Not too long ago, I decided to stop sleeping. I needed to get more stuff done. The recent flood of midterms and papers had something to do with it. But more than that, I was rebelling against the seven-day segments that dictate our waking consciousness. When I did sleep, I wasn’t waiting until tomorrow’s […]

KDVS 90.3, UC Davis’ freeform radio station, is taking steps toward opening up a downtown music venue. Adding such a space for audiophiles of all ages will greatly improve the music culture in Davis, and make weekends a lot more fun. The radio station recently hosted an event in conjunction with the Davis Music Festival […]

For some people, getting the physical intimacy they want out of a relationship, when they want it, is pretty easy. One call or text message, and your lover is on their way over for a quick bit of sexytime (or you’re on your way to their place, or to your secret love den, or what […]

If you’re a repeat reader of my columns, I think a thought has probably crossed your mind at some point or another: “Isn’t everything that this guy is writing about basically common sense?” I say things like: balance your money between saving up for a rainy day and splurging just to have a little fun […]

Anyone advocating a laissez-faire capitalist society (i.e., a government whose sole purpose is the protection of individual rights, which I outlined in my first column) might seem to face a problem. Obviously, we live in a mixed society, and many facets of our society reflect this. Besides the wealth-redistribution schemes and economic regulations that I […]

Having a female reproductive system is spectacular. Cycles surround us — the moon, the sun, the seasons — and there is a raw pleasure in feeling a cycle occurring within the body. It can be difficult to appreciate female anatomy and cycles amidst taboo culture, but not impossible. Perhaps the best way to celebrate the […]
