Welcome to the circus boys and girls! The tent is downtown and the main attractions are your neighbours and friends. The banner they operate under is the Occupy movement and right now we’re being taken for a ride, so lean back and eat some popcorn — this is going to be fun.

We all know the importance of university in making us better and wiser people. But what really matters is the outer beauty we form in our 20s. It certainly is a sexy time to be alive. In light of this, almost every student fits into two categories: those who are seeing someone, and those who wish they were seeing someone.

Cyclists on campus in need of a speedy tune-up have a new bike repair stand to inflate tires and tighten screws.
A Dero Fixit repair stand was installed Nov. 3 on a cement pad between the Arts and Thorvaldson buildings. The green steel stanchion can hold a single bike at a time, and is equipped with a manual air pump and an assortment of tethered screwdrivers, wrenches and Allen keys.

The Stall Gallery’s current exhibit focuses on the building blocks of our world, from the inner workings of a pocketwatch to the architecture of our cities.
Henry van Seters and Bevin Bradley have vastly differing styles — realist vs. abstract — but their themes work well together. Their paintings are also bereft of human forms. Instead, we are left to ponder the social, architectural and mechanical underpinnings of our world.

If you follow Internet memes closely, you might be familiar with such characters as Advice Dog, Courage Wolf and Socially Awkward Penguin. Each post is the same: the animal in the centre of a coloured background offering pithy comments about everyday life.
Since September, Saskatoon has had its very own meme character: Saskatoon Dog.

It’s not every day that the ballet comes to Saskatoon.
Already receiving rapturous reviews from the likes of the CBC, Svengali is the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s newest creation, an artistic retelling of the novel Trilby by George du Maurier. The ballet tells the story of Svengali, a young man yearning for fame who has an entrancing effect on women. After escaping the confines of his repressive mother, Svengali meets the innocent young dancer Trilby, whom he transforms into a dancing sensation.

In the past five years, the dramatic shift in social media vessels (read: the Internet) has created a new world of communication. Also drastically changed in the past five years: my own religious beliefs.
Thanks to the Internet, the world was no longer limited to wherever my feet could take me, parents could drive me or money could fly me. The truth was out there — and I was going to find it. I now know that there were others like me, searching heedlessly for the unknown, rummaging through virtual heaps of trash to find diamonds.
