It’s a rainy Saturday and, yes, it would be prudent to spend the day in Bulter, but don’t you deserve a break? (Bwog thinks you do.) And there’s really no better way to relax and pass a dreary Saturday than with a couple feel-good flicks.  Here, Bwog has compiled a smattering of movies that will […]

Everyone’s favorite artificial deus ex machina of friendships, the Housing Lottery, is almost upon us! Usually an occasion for last minute research, Bwog will be running a series of posts on all Columbia dorms, including a feature on why it’s smarter to live with Barnard girls, and a point-counterpoint on living off-campus. This way, when […]

Our beloved NYU Diarist, in sickness and in health. The Washington Square Duane Reade has run out of Airborne, that slightly suspect “Effervescent Health Formula” that brags it was invented by a teacher. Whether the stuff works or not—I’m unconvinced but take it anyway—it’s cold season, and it’s selling. [It doesn’t work —Ed.] Classes have […]

It’s another lazy Friday, and Bwog’s mind inevitably turns to the Wii, and a weekend of whiplash and wrist injuries. In that vein, we’re opening up a contest for the best Faculty Miis. Create one here, post the link in the comments, and we’ll award an exciting prize to the winner. And we’ll post the […]

Welcome back to Cooking with Bwog. Bwog’s resident chef is doing a one-week tour at a Navy mess hall, but in her absence we present a full Southern meal, a recipe that was handed down for generations after this week’s chef’s family had forfeited all its Southern roots by moving to New England in the […]

After six months in Glasgow, arts columnist still assumes there’s bagpipes in everything. No fair: Columbia students can love their bodies — or have eating disorders — just like everyone else!   As it turns out, major declaration is not as dramatic as Harry Potter would lead you to believe.   “Bullen said she thinks […]

Tonight in the SGO, candidates had to file for positions on the Council.  The only big surprise seems to be that Colin Drummond, once thought to be vying for the Exec Board, has decided to challenge Mark Johnson for 2009 Council.  In what seems to be one of the least contested campaign seasons in recent […]

In which Bwog succumbs to a terrible case of false nostalgia.  Par for the course of other Barnard Townhalls, the lasanga, coffee and white tablecloths came out in full force for tonight’s discussion about student activism at Columbia in 1968. After a brief introduction by two SGA representatives announcing tonight’s speakers—Dean of the College Dorothy […]

About two hours ago, members of the Barnard community received an email detailing the chilling aftermath of a not-really-successful mail fraud scheme. Apparently, one Barnard student became quasi-entangled in a web of money laundering and stolen identities after trying to sell some text books. The email reads: “On 2/28/2008, a Barnard College student reported that […]

As Bwog blossoms into an around-the-clock Morningside Heights bird-related news source, we present you with two stories of from the cold-hearted avian world. First, news of a hawk kill. Alex Weinberg reports that around 11 this morning, Hawkmadinejad “swooped down and ruined a squirrel in front of Avery.” Awesome. Hawkmadinejad photo, at right, by Alexandra […]

Because of this email, it looks like Alidad Damooei has filed a complaint against the Krebs camp for illegal campaigning before Spring Break.  No comments from anyone right now, we’ll see soon what the Judicial Board does.  If Krebs and Ahmed are found guilty, this first violation would most likely result in 10% reduction in […]

Dressing up to spend the night in your dorm Decomposing garbage in your dorm “Sailor-esque colors” Feminists breaking the glass ceiling of hipness And one unequivocally good trend: Judd Apatow stoner comedies. But before that, 6 paragraphs about relationship dramas.

Whether for study or sleep, some of us wish the night would last just a little bit longer. With this in mind, Bwog presents a retrospective look at the most night-y night of recent memory. During the total lunar eclipse of February 20, Bwog’s polyhistoric daily editor Zach van Schouwen ascended the heights of Pupin […]
