Heroes & Villains: Ithaca Has a SWAT Team?

Mar 6, 2009

It's been a rumblin’-tumblin’, rough and wild, but altogether HEROICALLY SA-WEET first week on the job down here at HEROES & VILLAINS. We’ve been on a HEROICALLY wild ride getting things in order and figuring out what the heck we’re supposed to do now that we’re in charge on the 127th. Scary, scary thoughts. Despite the ensuing misery, chaos and debauchery that is a — HEROIC? Naw, more like VILLAINOUS — Sun editorship, we’ve got the HEROIC Spring Break on the horizon and things couldn't look brighter.

Kvetch: Week One

Oy Vey

I know Mann Library is a wet dream of architecture and design nerds everywhere, but who decided that the stairs should be so thin? They’re big enough for approximately 1.3 people, or maybe two crackheads. And when I’m trying to find a study spot at 2 a.m., the last thing I want is to have to awkwardly squeeze past another crackhead.

Kvetch: Back in Ithaca and We Are Cold!

Jan 19, 2009

In Yiddish, dank is the opposite of kvetch, and means “thanks.” Dank to Cornell for holding the first week of classes during Inauguration. Once I got past being bitter at not being able to go to inauguration and having school on MLK Day, I was able to see the positive side of things: not having two of my five classes this week because of Inauguration. So dank Cornell for keeping me in Ithaca while my profs woop it up in DC.

Both of my parents called me today. Not because they were concerned about their daughter, wanting to tell her how bursting with pride they are at my mere existence. They wanted to talk about the weather. “Oh, it’s an uncomfortable 80 degrees here, sun shining, not a cloud in the sky ... How’s it there?”

Very funny, Dad.
