Christmas... In May??

Those of you listening to the wonderful music heralding the presence of the ice cream truck near the Aula are being treated to a wide-ranging medley of songs.

I just heard "O Christmas Tree" and "Joy to the World" being played, followed up by "La Cucharacha."

Anyone else hear anything quirky??

;)

world news? no.

So I receive the NYTimes afternoon update things so that I stay on top of what's going on in the world. They have this extra thing where if something big happens they send you an extra email.

I didn't get anything about the cyclone that's leaving tons of people dead.

I just got an email regarding Uma Thurman's stalker.

How ridiculous is that? I really don't care about Uma Thurman, sorry dear.

Anyway, classes are over, but I still have choir rehearsals, a 12-page paper that is yucky, and 2 finals. Ugh.

I hope you are all enjoying the nice weather and no more lectures.

"BARE" With Me

The Bare phenomenon (on campus at least) never ends! Max Fagin recently posted four vids from the fantastic performance of "BARE: A Pop Opera" that was recently put on by the FWA. I've compiled them all here in one playlist for your convenience!



It should also be noted that this may not be the end of "BARE" media - several extremely reliable sources have said that the cast may in fact be heading into the recording studio. I know I have my fingers crossed!

UPDATE: The Bare cast WILL be recording a soundtrack, and giving it away in some manner! They can't sell it due to copyright issues.

"Twilight" Rising

I know there are more than a few Twilight fans on campus - Entertainment Weekly recently hailed Stephanie Myers as the next J.K. Rowling. Her latest book in the series was the one that knocked Deathly Hallows off the top spot. And the first book is about to become a major motion picture, to be released in December.

Today the trailer was released. Check it out!

Disabling

In this recent article by the Misc (http://misc.vassar.edu/archives/2008/05/vassar_faciliti.html) we learned about Vassar's lack of access for disabled persons, and this is something that should worry all of us. How many dorms have access for disabled people? No Quad dorm, not Joss, not Cushing, and many buildings where we have class also lack access for everyone. And hey, I am not counting those lame elevators in the Quad dorms as "access" - would you want to call security every time you wanted to go up even one floor? Even the new Quad stairs were not even built to be accessible. Am I the only angry one that in 2008 we (yes, we) are not even able to provide all of the students with full access to every building? I come from a school that did not have a lot of money, but it was the country's law that every building had to be accessible to everyone, and the school had to start investing in ramps and elevation-machines for stairs and elevators. Will we have to wait for an alumni/ae to donate money to make this College accessible to everyone or will this institution (and us) take the matter seriously and start changing things around? I would be more than willing to help my friend up the stairs, but that is not the point, the fact is that we should all have the right to be able get wherever we want on this campus if we so desire. So, next time we think about getting swipe machines for the vending machines, why not think of things that actually matter first?

Cheers,

Buzzing

Ah, Founder's Day stories...I was kind of depressed (cuz of weather, I have to admit) and tired in the throughout most of the day...then I took a half hour nap and GOT CRUNK. Um....everything was funny....I went to sleep...the end. But, my, those chili veggie burgers were grrreat. I told people I'd miss them next year...told one guy I never talk to I was sorry for using his water boiler without permission (it's right there in the kitchen! It's so convenient I have to take advantage. And it helped me progress through the days of putting my mug of cold, tea-bagged water in the microwave). Haha I love it. You know what I also love? Feet. Fucking love those things. I thought of putting up a picture of mine, but decided to save something for the imagination.

Everybody must get buzzed.

Oh Founder's Day. I have to say, it was definitely a success. For so much of the year it was shrouded in mystery. I knew it was a big deal, but I didn't know exactly what went on. Now, after experiencing it I have to say that I absolutely loved it. Mimosas for breakfast and screwdrivers for lunch. Just about passed out by Walker at 6. Slept till 9 then up for another round. I'd say thats pretty much the idea. Anyways, hope yours was a success too.

Only two days of classes left!
