Better known by some as the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) umbrella, this joyful accessory is perfect this week as campus has been plagued by drizzly weather. A simple black exterior hides a cheeky print of blue skies inside so that for the holder it is always a beautiful day. This very Rene Magritte-esque optical illusion by designer Tibor Kalman does come at the steep price of $48, but Target offers a miniature version for $36.
NCIS
From the moment a crime involving a Navy officer occurs and a still goes to grayscale, viewers are hooked for an hour as the good folks of Naval Criminal Investigative Service follow twists and turns of the evidence. Sure it’s right along the lines of all the other CSI genre shows, but NCIS is great because of the characters. Agent Gibbs, played by Mark Harmon, is far less annoying than any other CSI male lead and forensic specialist Abby Sciuto, played by Pauley Perrette, is always hilarious and quirky with her emo looks.
