Bwog was tipped about an interesting addition to a double in the LLC. Check out the picture and post below. Sometimes even a double can feel lonely, which may explain why a pair of roommates chose to welcome a life-size poster of baseball player Ty Cobb into their home. Now, it serves as a welcoming and terrifying surprise […]

Today Bwog ventured into the Butler Cafe and stumbled upon this marvelous muffin. Brown and beautiful, domed and doubtful, it drew us closer. Marked as “bran-tastic” we even felt an urge to try it. But then we saw a Red Bull and drank that instead.

This is the smart and studious […]

So apparently Lady Gaga has started a trend. For some reason, people (babies!) love hiding in eggs. (NYT) Since no one uses watches to tell the time anymore (hello iPhone), researchers have made a watch that tells you when you will die. Watch In Time starring Justin Timberlake for instructions on how to freak out (The […]

  Nico Muhly, CCxJ’03 (that’s Columbia-Juilliard Exchange), has worked with Philip Glass, Björk, and Grizzly Bear, among countless others.  On October 21, Two Boys, an opera Muhly composed, will have its Metropolitan Opera premiere.  Bwog’s resident opera enthusiast Alexandra Svokos was too starstruck to give him a high-five for Veckatimest. Nico Muhly, CCxJ’03, unlike some […]

Heads up, CC and GS: today, at 4:30 this afternoon, is the deadline to drop courses this semester. If you’re in this last minute predicament, make sure your adviser signs off and that you’ve filed those forms.

This past Sunday morning, Bwog dragged itself out of bed without so much as a cup of Oren’s to sit on a stone floor for 2+ hours. There’s obviously only one reason why we’d do this: St. John’s annual Blessing of the Animals for the Feast of St. Francis. You may know the occasion better […]
