SIP was The Rocky Horror Picture Show of Columbia watering holes: It wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but those who sipped were crazy about it. That’s why last night, when a few Bwoggers were looking to have a drink somewhere that wasn’t 1020 or The Heights, they were shocked to find that the café was […]
Sunday brunch conversation in John Jay deliberately blurs distinctions and crosses boundaries we take for granted. Girl: Cantaloupe? Isn’t that an animal? Antelope via Wikimedia Commons.
Last Friday at noon, our Diva of Diseases Briana Last bopped over to the John Jay Lounge to listen to Dr. Ian Lipkin, a scientifically and cinematographic-ally relevant person, talk about epidemics. The aphorism, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” rang all too true last Friday, when the cost of eating room temperature pasta was […]
Another stumbly Sunday “morning” at Columbia University! Now, what carbtastic breakfast can make the pounding, hallucinatory headache go away while simultaneously reaffirming your identity as a legit New York transplant? A bagel. Good luck securing that legendary panacea, however. We were confronted at every turn by two of the worst things in the world: other […]
CANNED BEER: check out this history of the official container of real college’s official drink. (The Daily) VINTAGE CHAMPAGNE AND SKYLINE VIEWS: Bwog knows it’s never too early to start thinking about Valentine’s Day plans (or to start repressing these same thoughts), so why not a private dinner and rooftop pool swim at the Peninsula […]
Since the very beginning of his (interim) tenure, Deantini has closed his charming emails to the Columbia College student body with an egregious perversion of our fair fight song’s title. Though the Band may disagree, the title and refrain of our fight song is “Roar, Lion, Roar.” Deantini, however, has continued to sign correspondence with […]
Today, while doing important reporter-y things and combing reputable news sources for the next big scoop, Bwog received an unexpected call to arms. Mattingly, the lovable boxer who came to relieve stress on campus during finals, needs our help! He and his person are competing for a chance to walk in New Yorkie Runway, a charitable event that raises […]
Even though Google spilled the beans about their privacy policy, can we really trust the multibillion dollar corporation to have no skeletons in their closet? Don’t you find it a bit strange that just as they made their announcement, campus surveillance was bumped up a several notches? Also, could this coincidence explain the eerily timely announcement […]
A girl reading The Aeneid on the subway is approached by a random older man. Guy: What are you reading? Girl: The Aeneid. Guy: Oh, I remember reading that. I liked the Iliad better. Girl: Me too. I can’t wait to finish this so I can read the Metamorphoses. Guy: Oh man, I love Kafka. Girl: Yeah, […]
Last seen at Il Cibreo on January 19 around 1am. It’s beige cashmere with unique colors which complete the original burberry pattern. If you took it by accident please contact aln2133@columbia.edu. If you took it because you like it, not cool.
DevFest, a “week long application development experience” sponsored by the Application Development Initiative, kicks off today in Davis Auditorium at 1:00 pm. According to a tipster, there will be a bounty of snacks including Chinese food and WestSide sandwiches—ample fuel for the 24-hour hackathon which begins today as well. DevFest runs all week, and features workshops […]
Today marks one year since Bwog deepened our romance with the Northwest Corner Building by polling you, dear readers, to find the perfect nickname. NoCo beat out such worthy contenders as “NWC,” “The Cheesegrater,” and “The Panopticon.” Whatever you want to call it, take a moment to raise a cup of Joe to our shiniest and most […]
