Cross-cohort consorting

I just emailed everyone, just in the highly improbable case that people don't check the blog on a regular basis. The text of said email:

"saturday night, if you rookies aren't too psyched out by the weighty syllabi gestating in your brand-new binders, we were thinking maybe we could have a cohort-to-cohort hangout sesh at some local watering hole tbd (is lovejoy's still around? lisa?) what do y'all think?"

Warren Jeffs gets nabbed

Weren't we just talking about Warren Jeffs on Saturday at Pokemon's? It's as though our collective psychic energy, directed toward him, actually caused his capture. Next Saturday: we find Osama bin Laden. (This is the pic the Times ran of the Jeffs compound...adorable.)

James and ghosts

Review of a new book about William James and the Society for Psychical Research, in Salon. I would recommend it to whoever it was I was trying to convince of the awesomeness of the nineteenth century, on Saturday night (Eric maybe?) You have to watch a site pass to see the article, but the nineteenth century is totally worth it.

The Onion nails it, yet again

Sometimes I Feel Like I'm The Only One Trying To Gentrify This Neighborhood

I realise the Onion is a little hackneyed, but anyone who lives in my neck of East Austin will nod sagely/cackle/weep at this...

Hook 'em hard

We're the number one party school in the nation, no doubt due to our cohort's fine, if sporadic, efforts at the Crown and Anchor last year. Ready to keep up the good work, my friends? See you Thursday!
