Midterms must be coming up because everyone is getting busy in Gelman Library. Ugh.

Inside is a Frisky Dingo joke.

GW Alum Wins Bronze

February 25, 2010

GW Alum Elana Meyers, the push, and driver Erin Pac took a bronze medal for USA! USA! yesterday in the two-women bobsled event. It was pretty thrilling to watch as they crushed everyone but, predictably, the Canadians.

GW v. GU Snowdown Media Wrapup

February 11, 2010

So, clearly GWU was declared victorious in yesterday’s snowbath of epic proportions. Here’s a roundup of different videos, photos, and love matches culled from the inter-tubes for your viewing pleasure, and to give you one handy link to send to your friends who are stuck in sunnier climes.

  • The Hatchet has a slideshow of GWU’s victory [Hatchet]
  • While the Georgetown Voice blog, Vox Populi has some embedded videos of their demise. Also, someone on their site makes an excellent Star Wars references that actually made me lol. Props. [Vox Populi]
  • GW man-of-note Chris Brooks uploaded a GW-perspective video. [YouTube]
  • The hordes of GW advance [YouTube] & A Scene from the Battlefield [YouTube]
  • And over at (ugh) CNN iReport, someone named GWUAlum has uploaded another video. [iReport]

My favorite outcome of this whole (grossly lopsided) snowball fight, however, even more than University President Steve Knapp’s appearance, is this missed connection on Craigslist. This poor girl has already been branded a traitor on the twitter-sphere, but I think it’s kind of sweet. I’m rooting for you, GW girl, and your Montague-Capulet romance.

Snow: we lost count, GW: 0

February 10, 2010

GW once again is definitely closed Thursday, Feb 11.  No classes, designated employees only need show up.

Twitteristas who were at the GW v GU snowball fight tonight were reporting that GW President Steven Knapp declared no classes after GW’s victory.  We’re guessing the cancellation has more to do with DC being frozen to a standstill than with the awesome snowballing skills of GW students.  But hey, we’ll take what we can get, right?
