SATURDAY, 2/25
11 a.m. Winterfest. I’m sorry, I don’t celebrate things that make the sight of a well-oiled, bronzed, and sleekly contoured abdomen scarce. In other words, I don’t believe in mirages. Now get the hell out of my face. Walker Field House

SUNDAY, 2/26
3 p.m. Tea. “At 3 a.m., the fire alarm woke up only two members of the fire department. It was ironic that there was not a real fire; Maurice had simply burned his late night snack of popcorn, a habit since his childhood days in a foster home.” Rose Parlor

MONDAY, 2/27
3 p.m. Tea. “The two men slid down the fire pole in their underwears. This, or course, was not the most comfortable way to approach the friction of the cold, metal pole, but shirts and pants become luxuries to strong men accustomed to putting out emergencies. There were two men of that fine breed of man.” Rose Parlor

Dr. Margaret Clarke, of the University of Oklahoma, “Endocytic Trafficking in Normal and Pathogen-infected Dictyostelium Amoebae.” I’ve seen this one before.

TUESDAY, 2/28
3 p.m. Tea. “‘I didn’t know you had a tattoo,’ Maurice said to Stephanos, the Greek fire fighter-in-training. ‘I don’t,’ Stephanos said, looking truly puzzled. ‘Well, do you want one?’ Stephanos still looked puzzled.” Rose Parlor

7 p.m. Apartment Draw Info Session. You and your three friends had better start looking for a fifth Hollywood Square. CC 223

6:45 pm. Democracy Matters. P. Diddy is here for one night only, and that’s why democracy matters a little bit sometimes.

THURSDAY, 2/30
3 p.m. Tea. “Back upstairs, Maurice set up his holistic tattoo parlor, complete with homemade hemp templates and ink brewed from goji berries and ancient grains, like quinoa. He heated up a needle. Stephanos looked at it, either deciding what kind of tattoo to request or admiring Maurice’s broad, sturdy collarbone for the first time.” Rose Parlor
