Happy Halloween

Beware, some have seen a gorilla walking around biking around campus.
I don’t know too much about what is happening on campus to celebrate Halloween.
I know that the political science department is giving out candy to those dressed either politically or in costume. More for both?!
There is a big party happening in Fells Point.

coincidences defy probability

Is it just me, or do people with the same name seem to be paired up to live together a lot more than would seem numerically probable?  Seems like there’s usually 2-3 rooms in each building where this happens.  Yeah, naturally that’s going to happen sometime, but I’ve seen it happen with some uncommon names, [...]

Commuter week continues

du claw

Found in Arundel Mills by Muvico, this trendy looking restaurant/bar used its crab dip platter to entice my girlfriend and I to give the place a try. I really liked the look of the place; lots of curved walls and booths deeply burrowed into the wall, but the service and food were average. [...]

impending annoying move-out

I can’t remember exactly how this worked, but I thought I’d make those of you in the dorms “traditional residential halls” aware of it.  From what I recall of my freshman year, come the end of this semester, those in PAT, SUS, CPK, and I think even ERK and HBR will have to move all [...]
