"As part of Alumni Weekend, we will be holding an open house from 3-5 in the Main Office, Rome Hall 760. We'll be offering some delicious Italian cookies and -- because we are pretentious -- sherry."

Off to Adams Morgan Day festival in this humidity. Weekends FTW

(I have a whole story about yesterday, and it finally finally dawning on me that I should apply to grad school *this fall*, even if I defer a year, at the end of a very long football-inspired drinking afternoon, but, its way too boring even for me to type it out.)

"And yet, contrary to what Hollywood or Washington or Madison Avenue may believe, women don't, in fact, possess a hive mind. We don't all like yoga and eat sticks of butter when we're depressed, and we don't all travel in packs to see crappy movies. Human nature is complicated like that. Why isn't my gender rioting in the streets over this femmey stereotyping BS? I can only hope it's because we've got our hands full fending off the widespread belief that we'll put anybody with two X chromosomes in the White House."

A-fucking-men.
