So it might have been a little drizzly today. So it might also have been effin’ freezing. So the forecast might say the same about tomorrow. “So what?” asked attendees of the Telegraph Ave. Holiday Street Fair, “At least I’m productively not studying for finals and buying presents for people, instead of sleeping or watching last week’s episode of Gossip Girl … again. ” Ay, there’s the rub. read more »

It has come to our attention that learnin’ has its limits. Apparently, campus actually closes for a period of time over the holidays, and this year it’s from Dec. 25 through Jan. 4.
We’re not really sure what we thought happened during times of mass exodus from the general vicinity of campus, but we sort of always just assumed that if we were–for some undetermined hypothetical reason–stranded on campus during a vacation, we could just kind of hole up in Wheeler Hall or whatever. But, it seems we thought wrong. And that makes perfect sense, come to think of it.
What we’re trying to say, is this probably makes no difference to you whatsoever. However, we figured we’d post the dates just in case you realize midway through break you can’t stand your family–not even for a day longer–or something, and all you want to do is go sit in Doe Library and sulk. Because if this happens between Christmas and Jan. 4, you might want to re-think things. That’s all.

Reports say a Wal-Mart employee died just a few hours ago, trampled to death by raging Black Friday bargain-seekers in New York. Shoppers tore down the front doors of the Wal-Mart at Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, N.Y., knocking down the unidentified 34-year-old worker. Three other shoppers and a pregnant woman were taken to the hospitable for minor injuries.
According to eyewitness testimonials, the waiting shoppers pulled the doors from their hinges in their rush to get into the store. The surge, the NYT solemnly reports, endangered children, who had to be grabbed by their parents so as to not get lost and/or trampled upon in the mad stampede. Jeez. People really are nuts for their tech gadgets and Guitar Hero game kits.
