Since midterms are far off, Bwog knows you’ve avoided the sad place of Butler.  Hopefully you’ve only felt that singular blast of hot air in passing, rather than embraced it.  Hopefully you’ve only seen the dreary denizens thereof, rather than been one.  Whatever your Butler predilections, Bwog reminds you that Butler is both very alive […]

A Bwogger passing by Wien this morning noticed this peculiar new addition to its architecture: the door on the right now has a large crack in its window and is covered in caution tape. One Wiener we spoke to said it wasn’t bad it enough for cold air to seep in, but it is still […]

Lawmakers are considering a ban on the use of electronic devices while crossing streets.  Should we hold hands too?

The chairs are surprisingly light (don’t weigh much). Flooded with sunlight with pick-up sticks molesting peripheral vision from above.” “Espresso drink sizes are 8 […]

Edwidge Danticat was born in Haiti and graduated from Barnard in 1990. The success of her early semi-autobiographical novels and short stories has made her one of the most prominent writers to come out of Morningside Heights and an important figure in the Caribbean Diaspora. Although Danticat has been busy on tour for her new […]

Bwog likes to hop, and we encourage you to do the same. Amid the craziness of the EC courtyard lies the glorious Heyman Center for the Humanities. Last night they released the full Spring 2011 lecture schedule, featuring intellectual heavy-hitters like David Harvey and James Fenton. You should go! You get to snuggle up to […]
