As every avid television watcher knows, every fall, television networks engage their shows in a perilous game of Russian roulette that runs from September to May. The stakes are high; the winners go home with another season under their belt, and the losers go home empty handed.
If you're looking for a healthier way of living, be sure to check out the 34th annual Baltimore Farmers' Market and Bazaar, open from April 1 to December 23. Although it first opened at Market Place and then relocated to Pratt & President Streets, it is now conveniently located underneath the Jones Falls Expressway, and Hopkins students can get there simply by taking the #11 MTA bus from the stop outside Mattin Center, getting off at Saratoga and walking east two blocks. Every year, this market offers produce, meats, herbs, flowers, crafts and more all at economical prices. There will be a large quantity of crisp fruits and vegetables, poultry, baked goods, herbs and dary and nuts as far as the eye can see. In addition, they offer cultural cuisine like pit beef sandwiches, pastries and gourmet treats. Not only does going to the Farmers' Market mean eating healthier, but it also means supporting your top local farmers, as they will be providiing organically raised and produced products: Cheese, milk, yogurt, beef, pork and more. Finally, the market will offer a large selection of fresh fish and seafoods for perusal. Vegan items are also sold for those who wish to avoid meat products. Just because this is a Farmers' Market, though, doesn't mean that all they offer is food. There is an offering of unique crafts and collectibles for you to decorate your dorm or apartment with, or just to use, in the case of jewelry, handbags and hair accessories. Be sure to get there early, as on peak Sundays, more than 8,000 people may attend the Baltimore Farmers' Market.

If you haven't already noticed from reading my column this semester, I tend to watch pretty specific genres when it comes to TV shows: cop shows, fantasy, sci-fi, and . . . well, Smash. Yes, Smash deserves its own category.
Last Thursday, Writers in Baltimore Schools, an organization seeking to provide an opportunity for low-income students K-12 to develop their literary skills through creative writing workshops, put on their Rock Paper B'more show at the Ottobar with a fantastic line-up: Wing Dam, Raffi Joe, DJ Fiar Medico, Chester Endersby Gwazda and Future Islands.

Alright, I'll admit it.
The Hopkins chapter of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, presents "Happier," on March 6 at 4 p.m. in Shriver Hall. This is a talk by Tal Ben-Shahar on positive psychology, or in other words, the psychology of how to be happy.
Electropunk and industrial rock group "Mindless Self Indulgence" (MSI) will be performing at Rams Head Live on March 6th after a three year hiatus.
From talking with people who have seen neither Grimm nor Once Upon a Time (OuaT), there seems to be a common misconception that Grimm, NBC's new mishmash of dark fantasy and cop procedural, is the same thing or extremely similar to OuaT.

Have you ever had one of your parents sit you down and tell you a story that you don't really care about and never actually asked to hear about in the first place? Do you remember how convoluted it was, and how much your parent rambled until you were ready to run away screaming? Well, no matter how bad you've had it, unless your parent has been telling you their story for seven consecutive years, I can guarantee that Ted Mosby's kids on How I Met Your Mother have had it worse.
This Saturday marks the third annual Mardi Gras Festival at Power Plant Live near the Inner Harbor. Beginning from 9 p.m. and running through midnight, there will be fire breathers, stilt walkers and beads up and down the street.
Is it just me or is there a plethora of media having to do with fairy tales these days? In film, there are two Snow White movies coming out, and, in TV, there's Grimm and of course, Once Upon a Time.
On the surface, Castle may look a lot like Bones. In fact, most people have compared it to Bones at one time or another, as both shows involve a cop working with a civilian out in the field. However, that is where the similarities end.
If you think you know Sherlock Holmes and his brilliant partner John Watson, think again, because you don't know Sherlock until you've seen Steven Moffat's modern adaption to television. Not that there's anything wrong with Doyle's work. Far from it, in fact. It's only that there's something inherently charming about Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), a self-proclaimed "high-functioning sociopath" running around modern-day London and managing to piss off every single person he meets. And we can't forget John Watson (Martin Freeman), Sherlock's loyal partner.
