Holi 2011—it happened just this morning in front of Pupin! Scores of Columbia students gathered to engage in the powdered paint fight that is Holi, a whimsically carefree Hindu celebration of spring. This Bwogger (post-shower, thankfully—that paint is super hard to get out of your hair!) can honestly say that the sense of Columbia community […]
Eager fans have just started trickling in. Overheard from an earlybird: “I feel like I’m first in line at the Apple Store for the iPad2.” The lawn is divided into four quadrants which will be opened as people show up. They’re definitely checking IDs, but bringing in bags seems to be fine. Just don’t bring […]
The end is nigh. Run for cover. It’s finally happened: THE REFERENCE ROOM IS EMPTY AT 1:15 PM ON A SATURDAY DURING A FINALS WEEKEND. It’s a sign of the times–the nerds have gone to take cover from the impending doom that even the mighty walls of Butler can’t keep out. IT’S THE ABACCHALYPSE.
Given the world’s going to end today (isn’t that what the Abacchalypse is supposed to herald?), we thought you’d might like to have a beer (or six) before you go. But in case picking from Morningside Heights’ myriad beer selection gives you a lil’ anxiety, allow us to present your best purchase options at our […]
Remember the dude who told us some cool stuff about dreams last year? Well, the illustrious Dr. Mark Solms hath returned! Scurry over to Satow Room at noon to nosh on free bagels and drinks while Dr. Solms presents a case of Korsakoff’s syndrome, also known as confabulatory amnesia. Bwog doesn’t really know what either of these […]
Inspired by events in Egypt and Tunisia, one blogger is trying to incite a “Jasmine Revolution” in China, while based in his girlfriend’s Morningside Heights(!) apartment. Revolutions—you can start them from your home computer! (NYT) The two teenagers involved in the brutal beating of a Chinese food delivery man in a Morningside Heights apartment building have […]
Bwog’s own self-proclaimed shrew, Juliet Schieper, reports from all around campus: Last night, rain lightly fell upon a crowd of theatre-goers gathered around the Sun Dial. The turn out was less than usual, though still quite impressive, due to the inconsistent weather, for the King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe’s spring show. KCST chose to perform The […]
Update 10:13 pm: The signs are still up, but the Lerner desk says it’s okay to go inside, but didn’t know what type of vermin was being killed. It doesn’t reek of chemicals; in fact the air in 212 is more neutral and pleasing than it has ever been. Right now, and for at least […]
Congratulations, you made it through a whole semester’s worth of classes! Now all that stands between you and summer vacation is…finals. Procrastinate by checking out all of the ridiculous things professors said before ending class. If you forgot to send one in, or we just foolishly overlooked it, feel free to share it in the […]
HamDel is open 24 hours/day—except on Sundays, when it closes at 9 pm, which has led to much embarrassment as this Bwogger has tried to get NYPDs and Twisters at 2 am on Monday mornings. But tipster Cole Diamond sends in a picture that may point to salvation! HamDel will be open 24/7 during finals […]
