"I can't believe Ebert hated that movie that much. He gave friggin 'She's All That' like 2.5 stars. I mean, as a dirty old man, he should have some appreciation for 'Charlie's Angels!'"
--A girl in passing on Blake St, ranting

Ok, I'll admit, I saw the movie.
And it was pure fluff, and probably a setback for feminism on some basic level. But it sure was sparkly fluff, and on the surface it looked a hell of a lot like girls kicking ass. If you don't expect it to be profound, (and frankly, one would be awfully silly to expect that from a movie with this premise anyway) you'll see it as good fun.
On a side note, have you noticed how everyone has their favorite Angel?

"You know there is a difference between being a tech virgin, and being technically a virgin. You might want to clairify what she said."
"Yeah... I'm not sure which one I hope it is."

"I've heard hardcore vegans have decided that they won't even eat honey."
"I have this theory that veganism is just Puritanism trying to make a comeback in disguise. It might involve less bible-thumping, but both involve installing discipline in ridiculous ways."

I feel now might be a good time for me to mention that the views expressed by those overheard are not necessarily those of the admin of this site.
I aim to be non-partisan in what I post (and sometimes I even try to withold judgement, but that's tough,) because it's truly just what I see and hear, unedited, uncensored.
I do try to omit blatantly racist, sexist, or homophobic remarks, simply because I don't like hearing them and they tend to make me sad. If people feel that discrimination against vegans is an issue,email me and we'll talk.
Personally, I thought this was a fairly lighthearted comment, but maybe that's just because I heard the tone first hand.

"Well, I ran out of material about 2/3 of the way through the semester."

"Oh my god, you've never been to Krispy Kreme donuts? You didn't hear about the time Zach and I went there? God, it was horrible -- the time, not the donuts. See, we got a dozen, because they're cheaper by the dozen, and I ate 3 and I had one milk chug, and Zach ate 6 and had two milk chugs, and I was going to bring the last 3 back for my roommate, but then Zach said he didn't want to bother bringing them to the movie, too.
We get another milk chug, and Zach eats three more, and drinks all the milk and then we're going out to the car and he's like 'ohhh I'm gonna be sick,' and I'm all 'Don't be sick in the parking lot!' and so we get in the car to drive home, and he's really really sick. I mean, he ate like, 9 donuts.
I pulled off the freeway and he runs over to the bushes, and he's there for a while, and then this police officer pulls up behind us, and I swear to god I was dying, because I didn't have my insurance on me. He walks up to the car, and Zach's still over by the bushes, and he says, all official like, 'Have you kids been drinking tonight?'
But then I say, 'No, he just ate 9 Krispy Kreme!' and then he laughed and let us go, and said that in the future, we shouldn't eat more than 6."

"What kind of 7-Eleven actually closes at 11? I lived in the suburbs and we had two. No one ever went in them but kids from the high school buying hot dogs at lunch, and they were still both open 24/7. What kind of town is this, anyway? Berkeley should be a college town!"
--A guy ranting to his friends in the Durant Food Court

I agree -- where's the convenience in a convenience store that's not open at 2am on a Sunday when you have a cs project due in 10 hours and you're sleepy, and your eyes feel dry from staring at the monitor, and dear lord you need caffiene more than you need your soul right now, so maybe you'd sell it for some...
Er, I'd better get back to work on that project.

"You're a procrastinator extraordinaire."
"Well, it sure didn't work last year..."
"Yeah, but you sure were calm about it."
--Two guys in Pimentel Hall before a midterm

Sure, procrastination is bad for the grades, and it's important to study hard and try your best... but at the same time, I think there's something to be said for someone who realizes that a midterm isn't a life or death situation.

"Ugh, sometimes when you're leaving a midterm and you see those guys from your section who start talking about how hella easy it was, do you just wanna... smack 'em and say "Shut up, bragging-boys!"

Yes.
