A long time ago (Sunday) in a galaxy far, far away (Lewisohn), a tipster came across this weirdly poetic prophecy of imminent evil (rain pigeons): At least they don’t have acid rain pigeons.
In the third part of our DIY relaxtion series, Lily Icangelo takes us to the Well Woman center. It’s not just for ladies! Nestled on the first floor of Reid Hall in the Barnard Quad, (where the doors to the quad caution “Do Not Open: Alarms WILL Sound,”) is Barnard College’s Well Woman office. You […]
Name, school: Jody Zellman, JTS/GS/PBS Claim to fame: Bacchanal, Beta Theta Pi, CUNUFF, cartoonist for The Columbia Spectator (until I was cut to make room for “younger students”), cartoonist for Bwog, Jonah Liben’s roommate. Where are you going? I have a piano lesson at 4 o’clock. Three things you learned at Columbia: 1) “Midterm” is a […]
We’ve been telling you guys as they’ve been announced, but the final list of all Commencement and Class Day speakers, and the recipients of various other honors, has just been sent out. It does not include Barack Obama. It does include the professors who’ve won the Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching, the largest university-wide prize […]
Good Citizen tipster Luwam Kidane has just informed us that the bed bug crisis is far from over. She just spotted the pesky pests in 409 Butler. Before tipping Bwog, she sent an e-mail to the appropriate authorities and informed someone at the library—we commend her responsibility. She reports that said staff person “was able […]
Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5 billion. Great, so more blue screens while having skype sex. (Engadget) MetroCards are being phased out! Over the next three or four years, that is. (NY Daily News) Brooklyn-based Hasidic Jewish newspaper Der Tzitung photoshopped Hillary Clinton and another woman out of the now famous recent situation room photos. (WaPo, […]
Bweatherman Pat Blute taught us to love the weather, but sometimes it takes advantage of us. After floods ravaged Australia in January, Pat decided to take the semester off to help the victims. Somehow along the way, he got stranded on a deserted island with wild goats. Poisonous ants devoured Pat, and his leg fell […]
Term papers and finals have—as they always do—snuck up on us. That means a lot of feverish writing sessions, printing problem sets, and checking Courseworks. It also means a lot of time in computer labs. So when you’re in line at the Lerner printer, waiting for a Mac to free up, or just typing away […]
Name, school: Alice Mottola (occasionally known as “Nurse Alice”), Barnard College Class of 2011 Claim to fame: Co-President of Latenite Theatre for two years. Pretty decent actress, despite once bitterly dividing Bwog commenters. This semester, I wrote and directed a play called “Brightness” that people really seemed to enjoy. I’ve also been called a cult leader on […]
According to friends who nominated him, this next senior is a “game changer.” Also, last week he churned out a 45-page paper in a single night only typing with one hand because of an injury. How’s that 15 pager lookin’ now? Name, School: Kamal Yechoor, SEAS Claim to fame: I’m that guy you see in […]
