Tila Tequila: What a day! I have been up since 9am! Now im getting my nails custom designed to say "boss bitch!" With diamands! Flossin! Today, I realized that my coach doesn't close the door and the FML blinds to perform half-naked body checks (to make sure his team is in shape) on anyone else but me. FML High five A notable Ann Arborite gives five answers to a curious question. Alexander Horvath Owner, Get Your Game On What are your favorite card, board or miniatures games? 1. "Magic: The Gathering": This cornerstone of the gaming market has been around for 16 years, and continues to be as fresh today as it has ever been. Deck construction is a work of art, and Ann Arbor's local competition is thebest in Michigan. 2. "Agricola": Don't let the farming theme fool you. At around one hour of play time, this is one of the most strategic board games on the market, with immense replayability. Plays with anywhere from two to five players. I play this every week. 3. "Dungeons & Dragons": It's an RPG, with miniatures! Whether you're into 3.5 or the newer 4th edition, it's a classic! 4. "Small World": A newer board game that lets you play several fantasy races in your questfor (small) world domination. This is a great "gateway" game for non-gamers, as it's fun, a bit lighter and the theme is unique. 5. "Warhammer Fantasy": If I could just get my Bretonnia army painted in the Game Of Thrones theme, I'd be ready to play. Someday.

This assortment of high-profile art- ists has teamed together under the name Karen O and the Kids to produce a series of tracks capturing the picture's mischievous nature. The soundtrack's first single "All Is Love" features subdued, lullaby-like guitar strings and an untrained chil- drens' choir carrying the song's simplistic notes. The chorus, proclaiming the pow- ers of human emotion, highlights the curious nature of the film's child protagonist. Uncomplicated and jovial, the track grants a glimpse of what the picture may offer. * SASHA RESENDE _..: J +I You're Sick LSA students, if you're concerned about flu season this year, be sure to visit the LSA website.
