This past March, a terrible, life-altering event happened while I was on my way to a game at John Paul Jones Arena - an event so gruesome and tragic that I can barely muster the strength to write about it now. My iPod broke. Sad, isn't it?
Don't look now, but the Christmas season is just over the horizon. The yearlong anticipation for this time of giving and warmth toward strangers is anticipated by young and old everywhere - and just as certain as Santa Clauses will appear, red and green lights will spring up, Mariah Carey will have the number one song on iTunes, Hollywood will produce its annual Christmas movie.
I wouldn't use the phrase "think fast" to describe Charlottesville's latest hip local band, Astronomers.
Most people measure the passage of time in years or by major life milestones. But a small minority - myself included - measure the passage of time in terms of how many more cold and lonely nights it will be until Diablo III is released.

As of Oct. 15, both houses of the U.S. Congress have passed versions of the Performance Rights Act, a law designed to "grant performers of sound recordings equal rights to compensation from terrestrial broadcasters." In other words, the government is forcing radio stations to pay royalties to copyright holders for songs played on air. While supporters of the act, such as musicFIRST Coalition Executive Director Jennifer Bendall, claim that it brings society "one step closer to righting a wrong that has existed since the early days of radio; one step closer to winning the fight for fundamental justice that has been waged by countless artists and musicians over the last 80 years," it seems more like this law is a backward way for artists to try and keep milking a system that is becoming less and less viable as a business model for digital media and distribution progress. Artists should not look to radio stations for profit, especially because radio broadcasting is - essentially - free advertising for the artists themselves.

If you haven't been writing your life away the past few weeks, we here at tableau don't really know what you've been doing (unless you are in the E-School, in which case we have no clue what you are ever doing). It seems that as professors continue to raise the bar on acceptable amounts of paper-writing required per semester, internships and extracurricular clubs also have started upping the ante on how much written work, articles or memos they'd like to see from you.
Language of Angels is an intriguing piece of experimental theater that's rather hard to describe - think Final Destination, only with interpretive dance.
For every time you've hit snooze and seriously considered playing hooky from that insufferable ancient history lecture; for every time you've deadpanned "Bueller?
The recent rise in popularity of supernatural beings such as vampires and werewolves can be largely attributed to fantasy novel series such as Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
