She presents to us a set of possibilities, some hilarious, some haunting, and some ending in halloweenie, all for your enjoyment. So take a second, click around, and CHOOSE YOUR HALLOWEEN ADVENTURE! It’s 10:30 pm on […]
Dontchya love that moment when you’re studying in Butler and a guy with a horse head comes over and starts taking selfies with you? Yeah, us too. Happy Halloween. Horses Gone Wild from Bwog on Vimeo.
In part two of a two-part series, Bwogger Alison Herman argues in favor of pulling out all the stops tonight. Because you’re better than “guy who escaped from a painting.” Fall is a lot of things: sweater weather, decorative gourd season (motherfuckers), Pumpkin Spice Latte time. But most importantly, it’s time for the ONE DAY […]
It’s Halloween! The most frightful part this holiday is not the ghosts and ghouls. No, the scariest aspect is the ritual where it’s perfectly acceptable to wear nearly nothing and dress like a pimp or a ho. To build up your courage to wear the itchy, or slutty, costume you’ve chosen for the party circuit, […]
Perhaps you’ve seen them walking around, wearing a costume that’s definitely cooler than yours. Perhaps you’ve scoffed at how “into Haloween” they are, or the sheer absurdity of even trying so hard. Perhaps you’re just a huge fan. Regardless of your stance, Diego Zogbhi, one time Bwog Costume Contest honorable mention (submit yours!), is clearly […]
Today Bwog’s decidedly daring correspondent Dara Homer venture’s deep into the depths of Schermerhorn to visit one of it’s…creepier settings: 506. BOO! Schermerhorn Hall is usually known for frightening students by its labyrinthine layout and terrifying scarcity of bathrooms. But a certain room on the 5th floor contains horrors that are slightly less infamous but […]
Congress has apparently decided that it won’t be passing serious legislation on privacy for the time being. Instead, states will be responsible for making sure our search histories deepest darkest secrets aren’t available on the web. (NYT) THE RED SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES. AGAIN. (NYT but also do you live under a rock?) At least one […]
In part one of a two part series (suspense!) Bwogger Claire Friedman discusses the benefits of having a really bad Halloween costume. Lazy is not a negative, people. It’s an art. I’ve never been one to go all-out on Halloween. Even when I was in elementary school, I was Pippi Longstocking for three years straight. […]
It’s the tail-end of midterms time, meaning that you don’t necessarily need to pull an all-nighter. But should you stay up an extra hour or five? Bwog’s Alexandras have kind of morphed into the same person by this point, but they disagree fundamentally when it comes to staying up. To Sleep, Or, Am I Really Making […]
On Monday in Butler, archivist aardvark Alexandra Svokos listened to Barbara Haws, actual NYPhil archivist, Jane Ginsburg, Columbia Law prof, and Shamus Khan talk about the New York Philharmonic’s Digital Archives. As it turns out, the New York Philharmonic has a hugely extensive collection of old things. Barbara Haws explained that they have over 7,000 […]
ESC had twice the press releases for twice the fun amid regular goings-on at their latest Monday meeting. Keenan Albee, that SEAS kid who actually leaves the library, reports. Access was the name of the game as ESC earned two hard-fought successes Monday morning, negotiating a partial restoration of Watson library use and a quickfix for […]
