When college-authored Young Adult Chick Lit scandals emerge, who better to comment than Barnard ’08’s own Robyn Schneider. Herself the author of two forthcoming Young Adult books, Robyn (B&W profile) is taking it personally. Kaavya Viswanathan must have an industrial strength photographic memory. Why, you ask? Because only someone with a mind like a steal […]

John Klopfer reports: Gulati drew up this diagram for us in class today. Note the big smudges where Florida and Louisiana should be… He told us to stop making fun of his drawing, added Florida, changed his mind, erased it (“Who needs Florida, anyway?”), looked closer, smeared the crap out of the Gulf coast, and […]

An eagle-eyed Bwog correspondent observes that this condom has been sitting outside St. A’s for three days now. At least when these frat boys are screwing the poor, they use protection…

Bwog’s eyes on the street report a Law and Order: SVU van on the corner of 115th and Broadway.

Gluttony abounds at the corner of 104th and Broadway this afternoon as Ben and Jerry’s celebrates its annual Free Cone Day. Always a popular event, last year lines snaked around the block as New Yorkers of all ages waited for over an hour to get a free cone—normal cost: about $3. Bwog’s financial advisors find […]

Tourists and prospective parents look confused as they reconsider sending their children to an institution that encourages such public displays of violence. Viggo Mortensen looks gratified as he […]

One singer + one keyboard player + one flutist + one moderately creepy man milling about = Christian music awesomeness. Low Plaza. Right now. Bwog is not sure how long this will last, so act fast.
