Lady Nanooks lose heart, game

In the midst of an eleven game losing streak, the UAF women's basketball team is in search of the victory that will turn around their season.  That victory almost came against conference rival Northwest Nazarene on Thursday, Feb. 5 as junior guard Adrienne Taalak's 19 points gave the Nanooks a 10 point lead at the half.  But missed shots and unforced turnovers eventually cost them the game as the Crusaders took the lead after less than four minutes of play in the second half.

Is it any wonder people are so cynical about love?  I mean just look at how it's depicted on TV.

I love chocolate and flowers and romantic gestures, but I admit I am not completely sold on Valentine's Day.

A Vagina Dialogue

Bobbi and Robinson have been married for two years. They attended the "Vagina Monologues" together Saturday evening. Their discussions of theater and theme are heated and usually end with Robinson sleeping on the couch (for at least an hour).
