37 CommentsCall us old-fashioned*, but Bwog likes sticking to traditions. That’s why we dared enter the dark abyss of terror and neurosis that is Butler without so much as a Virgil-figure to protect us (or at the very least warn us to avert our gaze from one of those 209-couples who seem to feed on creepy eye contact—do they even go here?). Plus, we threw a little Lerner in there to spice things up this year. Without further ado:
A young warrior bows his head in prayer to those who've fought before him.
-
- A chair cushion that once stood plump and proud now sags like your spirits
-
- An SGO straggler dreams of a quarter system
-
- Alas, a beacon of hope. And/or a nitrous study break, in the works.
-
- Pro-tip: don’t forget to floss
-
- As Legolas once remarked: A red sun rises. Blood has been spilt this night.
-
- The Wicked Witch of the Stacks

- A young warrior bows his head in prayer to those who’ve fought before him.
*By “old-fashioned,” we mean pretty. Call us pretty.

@Anonymous The first photo in this post will always be my favorite record of Butler desperation: http://bwog.com/2008/05/12/a-dark-night-of-the-soul/
@Anonymous If you just read all the comments up to this point, it might be time to stop procrastinating.
@Anonymous Well that was a blood bath
@Nah kimy never took lit hum
@Anonymous That young warrior looks a lot like Spencer Almen.
@Anonymous Nope. Converse. and a mac.
@Anonymous I’m not sure you know what the word “alas” means.
@it means “wings!” clarooo
@Too tired to let this slide “Without further adieu” should be “without further ado”!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And now, without further ado, I bid you adieu.)
@I thought it was a Family Guy reference but I might be wrong
@Ella Thanks!
@... “A chair cushion that once stood plump and proud now sags like your spirits” <3
@person Nitrous oxid is heavier than air. As you might surmise from that very specific knowledge, I plan on going quite hard after my last final.
@Anonymous You seem lucky and carefree
@Whip It! whip it goood
@Anonymous I have no idea what this final is on. Fuck.
@Legolas Please attribute your quotations.
@Oh mannn Gonna go watch LOTR once this test taking nonsense is over!
@that witch has some masculine looking jeans
@Anonymous Ohhh goddd i’m failing everything
@Not at life Cause Kim Jong il just failed at that!
@So you're saying We all fail at life. Eventually.
@Keynes In the long run, we’re all dead.
@another camera nerd 113th looking toward amsterdam, roof of bway/hogan? not sure if that’s an accessible roof but that looks like the place. definitely HDR but i couldn’t tell u more than that re: camera settings
@Anonymous that’s just from a 13th floor broadway window, don’t get too excited. though the roof is accessible, if you don’t mind triggering alarms.
@CC'13 it’s one thing to put your head down for 15 minutes, but sometimes i see people curled up like contortionists under their coats for hours. just GO HOME, there’s no way 4 hours of sleep on a butler armchair is better than 4 hours of sleep in your bed.
@But.. there is now way I’ll wake up four hours after if I sleep in my bed…
@Anonymous What if they don’t have a home?
Really, show some compassion for your fellow NYC citizens (who probably are much more new yorkers than you’ll ever be) even those whose parents cannot afford 10k a year for CU housing
@Anonymous Are you an idiot? This is obviously referring to Columbia students… the majority of which have a dorm/apartment/a bed, somewhere. Stop your sanctimonious NONSENSE.
@Anonymous You really don get new York yet
@kind of a camera nerd What was the sixth picture shot on???
@definitely a camera nerd who cares? whoever took it dumped so much HDR on it, it could be an iphone photo for all we know.
also
>dat filename
>is incorrect
@not the photographer but another nerd the kind of camera for that isn’t so important… the post processing is what gives it that dank flava.
it’s hdr, which means that it’s a composite of 3 photos: one over exposed, one under exposed, and one exposed correctly.
then you bring them into photoshop or your friendly neighborhood darkroom and you layer them and bring out the bits of each that you want to bring out, and hide the bits of each that you want to hide.
make sense?
photoshop has a snazzy “merge to hdr” function that does a lot of the legwork for you.
hdr is also useful when you want to produce an image with unrealistic lighting, or when you want to capture something whose lighting makes it tricky to capture. like a sunset over the ocean, zoomed in on tide pools, with no parts too dark or washed out.
@Anonymous who were the people singing in the bathrooms? did anyone else see that?
@omg that happened to me last year. I went in the bathroom on 3 or 4 to poop and before I knew it, a group of like 15 people came in and sang a song about what a crappy time I was having during finals etc. Truly frightening at first, but then absolutely hilarious by the end.
@Anonymous i heard that after theyre done singing they wait for you to finish, come out, and face your shame.
@Anonymous LMAO THEY DID THIS TO ME
