By Harold I think we can all agree that indoor soccer isn’t the most popular sport out there. It’s not ingrained in the culture, no one played it growing up, there’s no school teams, there’s no professionals to look up to. Still, the UNC intramural program offers men’s, women’s and co-rec indoor soccer. And within [...]

Academy Award nominees come to campus
By Harold There’s a really cheap, easy way to see the Academy Award nominees this spring — they’re pretty much all playing at the student union movie theaters at Duke and UNC.

Great Expectations
by Laura Over the past several weeks, I’ve been doing a lot more UNC -related work than blogging. Apparently, I am enrolled as a student. Who knew? But I’m sure that all of our brains will welcome a respite from the Serious Business of the World when it comes to indulging my latest musings:

A discussion on free speech
By Harold Thursday night was the perfect time for Laura and I to go our separate ways. Laura went to see the educational documentary The Prep School Negro, while I saw Larry Flynt, who was brought to the UNC campus by the law school’s First Amendment Law Review.

1.5.0.
by Laura I’d been wanting to try UNC’s new sustainable dining option and took the opportunity to gobble down lunch there yesterday. The good news?

Town Frown Relationships
by Laura Tonight I’m going to venture out with some grad school ladies for a bachelorette party, and we’ll be stopping by a few of the hotspots that Dukies used to frequent on a Saturday night. Back then, those places seemed so far from the Gothic Wonderland bubble that groups would charter buses to travel [...]

Duke vs. Carolina – The Dining Hall Wars
by Laura Last night, I ran into the main dining hall on UNC’s campus hoping to visit the Mediterranean Deli kiosk before our big soccer showdown. (Spoiler alert: We lost, and got scored on by someone with no arms. Granted, you don’t necessarily need arms to play soccer, but this pretty much sums up our [...]

Mission Stay On Couch=Epic Fail
by Laura Anticipating a few days without visitors, we decided to stay local for fall break and attempt to do absolutely nothing. However, Harold discovered that it was Parent’s Weekend at Duke, and the related events were right about at our current hipness level. Besides, this meant reaping all the benefits of the free dessert [...]
