THE RICE THRESHER CALENDAR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13,2006
15
Oct,
FRIDAY
13
Spooky
Look out! Today is Friday the
13th, meaning all kinds of scary
stuff is bound to happen, like
naked Bakerites. Being October,
this is an even creepier Friday
the 13th. While the calendar
editor is not willing to take the
time to back this up with a TV
Guide, it's probably safe to say at
least one bad cable network will
have Jason movies streaming for
a good 24 hours, which always
makes for a good time.
Free Jams
No, not marmalade. At 4 p.m.
today at Ray Courtyard, KTRU
is sponsoring a free concert.
Sputnik Monroe will bring its
sweet, sweet band name and
hopefully some instruments
with them, and they hope that
you'll show up.
SATURDAY
44
Ready, break
Today is the first full day of the
Midterm Recess, commonly
known as fall break. There are
so many things you can do with
a four day weekend, or you
could just do what you haven't
done all semester: Sleep.
Home again, home again
After playing six games in six
weeks in six different stadiums
(funny, 666 describes the
out-of-conference schedule in
more ways than one) the football
team returns home to play its
third home game of the year and
only its second in Rice Stadium.
Round up all your frier, ds who
are still on campus during fall
break and fire up a tailgate good
and early, and then get to the
stadium by 6:30 p.m. if you want
to catch kickoff. The Owls take
on conference foe UAB and
would love all the support they
can get from those mighty
heckling War Owls. Going to be
out of town? Not to worry, you
can support your Owls remotely,
listen to the game online or
watch it on CSTV.
MONDAY
Nothing at all
Today is decidedly the greatest
Monday of your life. Don't be-
lieve me? Point one, you don't
have class. Point two, you don't
have lab. Point three, at noon
you are probably either asleep
or traveling somewhere fun. or
mom and dad are doing your
laundry for you and feeding you
a hot meal.
TUESDAY
Go away
Seriously, what are you looking
at? It's the last day of fall break,
and you really expect
something to be going on that's
noteworthy enough to make it
into the calendar? Go back to
bed, or go get a snack
somewhere, you ninny.
18
Japanese
While today you may not have
your normal Wednesday
responsibilities, the rest of the
world does, including Japan. The
Japanese culture has a reputa-
tion for placing a high value on
work ethic, but that probably
doesn't make Wednesday any
more enjoyable. Japanese
culture has recently given us
such pop-culture phenomena
as anime and the delicious
uncooked treat that is sushi.
Pop culture aside, today is still
Wednesday, even in Japan. So
whether after-work happy hour
is at the corner tavern or a
karaoke bar, you can find people
singin' the hump day blues.
Monday
All Monday classes meet today,
and all normal Wednesday
classes are cancelled. Is today
Monday, or is today Wednesday,
you may ask. Were you to ask
this question, the best response
would have something to do
with the fact that this is a
three-day week, so who really
cares. Tomorrow is Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday all
wrapped into one.
Tuwedthursday, if you will.
Start your (two-cycle) engines
Visual Arts Professors Brian
Huberman and Charles Dove
and guest speaker Kim Henkel,
creator of The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, are holding a free
lecture tonight at 7 p.m. in the
Rice Media Center. The lecture,
entitled "Scared to Death,"
examines why horror movies
dominate the mainstream movie
theatres these days. Stop by, but
don't forget your battle axe.
FRIDAY
20
Mardl Gras
Hanszen College's fall public
party, Mardi Gras, is tonight in
the Hanszen commons from
10 p.m. - 2 a.m. As always,
bring your beads and use your
imagination to come up with
everything else you may need
to complete your New Orleans
look. Head on over to Hanszen
and have yourself a grand old
time on the Guardian's tab.
