Northwestern was sent into a tizzy tonight by this wonderous little bit of news: Olsen Twins Both To Attend Northwestern. This certainly threw me into paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (or gave me a heart attack, for those of you who aren’t ER junkies), until someone noticed that the numbers on the end of the web address ...

I’ve been wandering around like a nutter (or, to be slightly redundant, Ozzy Osbourne) lately, so I do apologize again for my lack of posting. I will try and post some stuff next week when I’m just running around interviewing for jobs and otherwise sitting around and doing nothing. And I swear, I’ll post the ...

…you utter the words “Wow, it was actually warm enough to snow today!”, and are truly grateful that it was.

Weigel, I thank thee for linking to me. Code Red-type virus, I curse thee for making me unable to respond in detail to the article Dave’s venting about. However, my opinion on antiwar-protesters boils down to this: Dissent = good; Uninformed dissent = stupid and counterproductive. Perhaps it’s my 18 years in DC, but my ...

Dave Barry seems to have hopped on the bandwagon. It’s linked off his official website, so I can only presume that this is actually him. Fun note: He’s using the same template I started out with before I transformed it into what you see before you. He too, hates the dogs on the side. Anyone ...

Yay for dumb cops: Police Discover Supposed $660,000 Weed Bust Is Actually Hay. Some days I think D.C. and Chicago cops should have a contest to see who’s dumber. Clearly, it would go into multiple rounds…

When I left my apartment this morning, the temperature (not the wind chill, the temperature) was -4 degrees. One of the main reasons I moved here to Chicago is because I hate heat, and I swore that in exchange for non-brutal summers, I would never complain about the cold. I lied. I thought my eyeballs ...

Sarah posted this, a link to a “Past Life Diagnosis” thingy, and people have been having themselves diagnosed left and right. My Diagnosis: Your past life diagnosis: ——————————————————————————– I don’t know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Korea ...

Adam, my roommate, has been appointed Editor in Chief of the Daily Northwestern! And there was much rejoicing, but a little sadness, since he will pretty much disappear from our apartment until June. I might see him when I come back from bartending, but otherwise, he’s gonna live at the Daily. Yay for journalistic masochism. ...

I just did 2 shots! God, I love my homework now. I was filling out index cards for all these random shots, and I saw 2 that I could easily make with stuff I had sitting around (the Brain and the Bloody Brain, which involve Peach Schnapps, Bailey’s, and Grenadine), so I figured, well, I ...
