Glory be to James! (and gold-medal punnage) “When Marc Jacobs’ superb show moved me to tears, I was reminded of why I really wanted my position.” War, sex, and religion  The shame! The indignation! “…creamy cheesecake with a slight tang of goat cheese pervading the sweet, thick texture…a drizzle of caramel with a hint of […]

…who apparently are the heroes behind this bold endeavor, which seems to have ceased publication but is still the most wonderful blog devoted to a vending machine that we have ever seen. Columbia, meet Robby.    

“I can’t say it was the best decision” Press releases: an overworked reporter’s best friend Homelessness: nobody’s best friend School spirit: still sort of lacking (unless it’s for water polo) Plus: Columbia’s Safire on pimple-toms and booby caresses!

Bwog’s all about tech-entrepreneurs these days: yesterday we posted on Buzzable (Columbia’s answer to Twitter), and today, it’s CampusPlaybook that’s struck our fancy.  The all-encompassing campus calendar is the brainchild of Dan Gendler and Daniel Heyman, both CC ’09. It looks clean and professional, and it’s easy to browse and register. Each campus group that […]

Bwog’s been tipped off to a free food opportunity of sorts, happening now in the James Room on the 4th floor of Barnard Hall. Cuisine is unknown, but if you go and discover what specific treats the EcoReps are offering, let us know.

An astute tipster informed Bwog today that he noticed odd hours at staple campus eateries Ferris Booth and JJs Place.  After a quick phone call to Dining Services, Bwog was able to dig up last year’s hours for comparison.  Indeed, much has changed and no longer is it possible to make 3am romps to JJs […]

Remember when hundreds of Upper West Side five-year-olds and their parents stormed Morningside Heights last year in a grand showing of support for reading, cheesy bands and Target?  Well, friends, it’s happening again on October 5th and once again you will be able to hear bands, including They Might Be Giants and their child-appropriate repertoire […]

Oh my, how time flies. Our 12s have only been on campus for about three weeks, and it’s already time for them to decide amongst themselves which of their kind should ascend to the glory of CCSC Class Council. Campaigning doesn’t start until September 22nd — so don’t jump the gun 12s, you will be […]

One professor is miraculously able to be an academic, administrator and mother – without a Time Turner. Another professor, after being educated around the world, pushes the limits of the normative, breaks ground on the topic of globalization, and successfully uses buzzwords while talking to the press. Men’s soccer pushes the limits of the acceptable win […]

The CPU and College Dems are co-sponsoring an event in which Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) will be speaking this Sunday at 4 PM in Lerner Cinema. She’s going to talk about her legislative goals and the like, plus there will be a Q&A to follow. 

An eerie calm descended on the usually bustling Low Plaza early this afternoon when a group of Bhutanese monks performed a demon subjugation dance ritual known as Tum Ngan.  Intended to eliminate evil spirits in the surrounding area, the ritual comforted many still shaken by the presence of a Jumbo McCain while frustrating Ghostbusters enthusiasts […]

Welcome back to Ask Bwog, a feature in which we answer burning questions about such disparate topics as Juicy Campus (ha, remember that?), PBK, and how to become gainfully employed by celebrities. We return this week with an important question about the Lerner ramps and Your Safety. One CC senior, who is not fond of […]

In front of the Lerner piano lounge is a well-stocked churro bar (with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, chips and the like), courtesy of Live at Lerner. It is a delight.  There’s also a cooler with complimentary Arnold Palmer — that’s half lemonade, half iced tea.
