Image via insidesocal.com E-Week 2009 kicks off tonight at 8:00 PM in Roone.  This is the yearly event that the SEAS student life committee puts on for the sake of “good food and lots of engineering pride!” (ORIGINAL CAPS REMOVED).   Of course, that’s not why Bwog cares.  According to Peter Valeiras’ multi-colored electronic mail […]

A mixture of the genius and the obvious–it’s AltSpec.  Image via Blogger.com The state created another commission, then forgot about it. Guys: you only have so long to make babies.  Have at it. We prefer not to remember embarassing moments in our past. Vaginal gel: “it’s preventative.” CUIT wants to charge us for wireless?  (Our […]

Bwogger-about-town James Downie finally thawed his hands enough to type a report from 125th and Broadway. “Two options: Cuban sandwich or chicken with rice and beans.” More than 70 Columbia students made that critical lunchtime choice earlier today, as they joined the Student Committee on Gentrification and Expansion and Black Heritage Month at Floridita to […]

Have you ever been to a ballet and thought, “Wouldn’t it be great if Siegfried and von Rothbart could just talk out their problems instead of resorting to dance?” Then you were probably happy to see one of several thousand posters for May I Please Speak?, a spoken-word ballet going on tonight and tomorrow in the […]

The men’s basketball team won again last night, dominating Dartmouth in the second half on their way to a 65-52 victory. K.J. Matsui’s 3-pointer at the end of the first half gave the Lions a two-point lead heading into the half, and they opened the 2nd with a 17-2 run in the first seven minutes. […]

It was three years ago today (and a short time after Bwog’s birth) that an intrepid photographer captured the mythical Snow Baby Starfish on film for the first (and, tragically, only) time while the creature posed on College Walk in the newly fallen snow.  We’d like to take this opportunity to share the pink-cheeked love […]

Bwog’s Comestible Correspondent Julia Mix Barrington brings you some last minute ideas for Valentine’s Day. So you’ve managed to wrangle yourself a hot date for tonight, and, naturally, you’re longing to gaze into his/her eyes over tasty food and decent wine.  But you didn’t plan ahead, and you have no idea where to do this […]

Spending your parents’ money just got a little harder. Local greengrocer-cum-discotheque Westside Market has stopped accepting Off-Campus Flex for purchases made between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., the hours of the store’s highest traffic volume. The announcement this weekend came in the form of a delightfully terse sign posted at Westside registers (see right). Like […]

A tipster informs us that Law & Order (or possibly one of its spinoffs) is once again shooting around Union Theological Seminary, at the corner of 120th and Claremont. Unfortunately, the brilliant floodlights that are apparently completely necessary for filming have stymied attempts at a photo. Some things never change. Ever.

While tripping on home tonight, Bwog noticed a curious sight: a small woman in a puffy coat unloading a plastic bag full of apples onto the bales of recycling outside Morton Williams. What’s more, she was being filmed, by people with professional-looking cameras and everything. Her name is Janet Kalish, and she’s a freegan, and […]

Men’s Basketball: The men’s basketball team (8-12, 3-3 Ivy League) looked to be riding high last Friday, as they beat Penn in Philly, 74-63. Jason Miller had a stellar 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Lions as they pulled away in the 2nd half. The next night, though, saw the Lions suffer their […]
