Finally!  Bwogger and believer in all things Belgian Eliza Shapiro noticed the famous Wafels & Dinges truck parked outside campus. Twitterers (or whatever we’re called) can track the truck via that service, but Bwog suggests you hustle yourself out there right now, because the waffles could waft their way back to greener pastures (or even, […]

   Photo via DemocraticUnderground.com Bwogger Emily Ahn kept her eyes open through all of this past week’s CCSC meeting. The second meeting of the year started promptly with the introduction of Bathabile Mthombeni, the Associate Officer of the Ombuds Office.  A little known service, the Ombuds Office, located at 660 Schermerhorn, offers a “confidential, informal, […]

Ah, fall. When the leaves fall and the weather takes a turn for the colder, but not before a select number of first-year college students paper the dorms with posters and broad promises, hoping to sneak enough votes to join student council.

Sometimes you just have to call it quits, pull up stakes, and head home to greener pastures. A number of people are doing just that this weekend, and Bwoglines brings you their stories. You know you must not be wanted when even Gov. David Paterson is worried you’ll make him unpopular. (Gothamist)  Speaking of the […]

For those who couldn’t make it last year: expect epic amounts of free, delicious food from a plethora of cultures, live music and dance, and a ton of people.  It’s taking place in Roone Arledge Auditorium […]

In the name of frightening beginnings and questionable progress, Mark Hay, Bwog’s resident expert on movies, hotdogs, and the relations between the two, brings back his Netflix column with three film recommendations. Would it be trite to use the start of the school year as the basis for a(nother) list of recommendations of coming-of-age films? […]

Everyone’s favorite neighborhood BDSM club, Conversio Virium, attracted previous media attention in 2006, when Ann Coulter dissed them in an interview,  telling Fox News “[S]omeone who needs to join a club at college to find a way to have sex, probably not your lookers…probably something a little wrong about them.”CV got some revenge last spring, however, […]
