Election day in Chicago aside, is there any event more anti-climactic than a university commencement? Four years are spent in eager anticipation of that glorious day, and when it finally comes, halfway through the interminable pomposity of it all, you find yourself praying for the end. Of the world, that is.

So, you say you're tired of Hopkins, of Baltimore (maybe even both), and it's time to take a vacation? Be it a grand tour of Europe's best vineyards or a weekend drive out to Pennsylvania Dutch country, with a little bit of planning and a whole lot of patience, even a travel neophyte can piece together an enjoyable voyage without having to ask Mom and Dad to take out yet another mortgage on the homestead.

The tradition of excellence set forth by Johns Hopkins lacrosse is as long and storied as the academic institution itself. In sending the nation's best opposition to repeated defeat for the past 119 years, the Blue Jays have deservedly developed a reputation for combining physical strength and mental toughness to deadly effect. Along the way, the team has amassed a record of collective and individual accomplishments that remains unparalleled in the annals of college sport.

Imagine it. You've got a whole day with nothing to do. Outside, the weather is in the mid-70s, with the sun shining and the wind breezing. Could there be anything finer than whiling away the hours wandering through a national park? The answer is obvious, you no doubt suspect. There's just something about all those tall trees that makes them irresistible.

Magic: The Gathering, a card game mixing elements of Dungeons & Dragons, Stratego and a bad drug habit, emerged in recent years from its West Coast cult following and became arguably the world's most popular and most profitable fantasy game.

As far as I'm concerned, infomercials and the devices they sell have gotten the bum's rap for too long. Long on form and lacking in function, the products they offer and the blatant consumerism for which they stand are far more than simple outlets for those with excess cash on-hand. The Foreman Grill, the Clapper and everything that's ever sprung from the mind of Ron Popeil symbolize all that's right in America today. For after all, when a society finally concerns itself with creating devices to juice a potato or shut off appliances from across a room, life can't be that bad.

Say what you will about the man, he sure knows how to make good music. I mean, Elvis Presley was a fat-ass who beat his wife and died via drug overdose while taking a dump, but all that doesn't make "Jailhouse Rock" a bad song. There isn't one rock star today who isn't at least a borderline scumbag, yet people seem willing to give their music an independent appraisal. Jack the Knife deserves the same courtesy.

Perhaps you've never tried Indian food before. Perhaps you've been a bit intimidated by rumors of vindaloos gone horribly wrong. If so, let me reassure you that there is hope; I am among the many that have overcome their blissful ignorance of the fine flavors and colorful appearance of Indian cuisine. My introduction came some years ago at Mughal Garden, a fine restaurant in the heart of Mount Vernon and a mere minute's walk north from the Peabody Conservatory.

Some problems take a bit more effort to solve than others, but that does not mean they are not worth solving.

Since I moved into the Homewood, I've probably hit Ruby Tuesday up for late night eats at least once a week. That's partly due to a few gift certificates from Mumsy and Daddy so I won't "starve to death." On the other hand, it's also because Tuesday's offers reasonably priced, tasty dishes and a location that can't be beat. Unfortunately, their miniscule selection might bore you after long, keeping anyone from returning too often.

It's high time the record gets set straight. The Transformers was officially the single greatest cartoon show in the history of television. There. I said it.

I can't help but wonder: Did anyone actually get tickets to the U2 concert?

So, you and your buddies saw a certain drag racing flick this summer nearly half a dozen times and you're itching to get in on the thrills, chills and spills of the underground racing scene.

First things first, comrades. U.S. News can take its stinkin' rankings and shove 'em up David Gergen's ample arse. In the country, we're 16th-best, huh? Slightly less-adequate than Washington U., eh? We built the frickin' proximity fuse (it won us World War II, people!), and this is the thanks we get.

Oh, to be young again. It's hard not to look back on freshman year and think of what might've been. Indeed, thinking about the damage I could've done (to myself and others) knowing then what I now know, it brings a tear to my eye.
