This is not a Halloween costume, this is the original Gaga.
David Bowie is like the male Madonna. Well, that's questionable, she is probably more masculine.You be the judge.
This is all very relative to a very special project that my current room mate, Abigail, former room mate, Shannon, and freshman hall mate, Ellie, have been designing for years. Here is a preview: Jim Henson's Labyrinth.
(***Temperatures drop at 2 min. 10 secs.)
Kinda reminds me of Hayden in one of his 'dancing on table' spells. But Bowie is a legend, so take that as a compliment.
Jim Henson's 1986 seriously creepy and genius movie is one of his greatest works, among others like Fraggle Rock and A Muppet Christmas Carol.
(**Peace signs up to anyone who can pick out the senior duo most like Marley and Marley)

Sci Cafe - Hot Chocolate experiment
Hypothesis: If you try to slurp down just the whipped cream, the contents below it will shoot down your throat causing you to expel the scalding liquid onto the science building atrium's floor.
Results: Tongue and thumb are burnt.
Conclusion: I tried it. Don't let the seductive Swiss Miss package lure you in with its mountainous landscape.
Alternate recommendation: Whatever they're selling that has bacon in it, because the whole building wreaks of delicious pig fat and I want some.
Results: Tongue and thumb are burnt.

i'd rather "sprawl" than "do what i do"
This is my room mate's blog: SPRAWL II
It is also the reason I took a leave of absence from the blog world, out of complete respect and awe of her artistic genius).
Throw back videos, pictures and personal favorites.

Study week: Annie's Assignments
Start your engines for some explosive blogging, movie producing, music and art exploring.
1. Hit up some Loggy for studying: pump these free tracks through your oversized headphones (www. loggymusic.com
2. Good Music All Day posts music made by college kids for college kids: so take a study break and lose yourself here (www. goodmusicallday.com)
3. If you just handed in a few essays, take a break from the library (actually don't try to go back unless you bring your own table and chair). I like to reward myself with movie and music producing. Here's a fan-favorite:
4. Get inspired by banksy and shepard fairey to make your own tags. Often times, your creative designs make for ballpoint pen tattoos and colorful notebook doodles. The fruits of boredom often invent genius, think like Zuckerberg's social awkwardness and the creation of facebook or Holy Cross study week and "The Bloghouse".
5. This should get your creative ideas flowing: Dear blank, please blank provides lots of ammunition for facebook posting.
And finally, don't forget to try out the experimental Sci-Cafe hours and menu. Oh Mamie Reilly, procrastinate away.

Hard Earned Power to Party- students don't take it lightly
The 11 o'clock news in Boston showed this clip on CBS: CBS's attempt. Channel 5 also scurried to the scene.
Most students feel that our drinking behavior may be excessive, but still acceptable. It is mostly limited to weekends, which prevents the issue of work-week disturbances. Students should not excuse themselves for partying.
We are a loving, hard-working community, studying and growing spiritually in order to serve others. And yes, we like to party.
Who did this partying and roadside paint job negatively affect in the worcester community? How many positive actions have we taken to improve the worcester community as a student body? It's true that building dorms will reduce our off-campus activity, but not all of it. If we could peacefully drink on campus we wouldn't venture off as much and cause noise and destruction in the neighborhood's streets.
Who could make this man out to be a villain?
SOLUTION: Allow alcohol to be served on campus at the pub and in dorms for students 18+. Many school presidents, including Fr. McF, want to change the system. They can't change our habits. We won't stop partying.

Removing Our Beer Goggles to Claim Social Responsibility
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A GENERALIZATION OF PRIVILEGED COLLEGE STUDENTS IN THE U.S. AND DOES NOT CAPTURE MY PERSONAL OPINION as a responsible and mature female.
Back at Holy Cross, seniors are having a good time. Between the academic load (brutal reality after being abroad) and applying to jobs, we are actually seizing every opportunity to go to bars or day drink... which could seem inappropriate to employers or our tuition paying parents. It is, however, our last year of college, freedom and, essentially, youth.
To many of the college-crazed, college is better than "real life" for the following reasons:
1.) We consume alcohol almost daily without dealing with workplace repercussions of getting fired for lack of productivity.
2.) We hang out with our friends 24/7.
3.) We selfishly don't have huge bills or taxes to pay, or mouths to feed.
4.) We do not sit at a desk from 9-5.
5.) We live in dingy dirty apartments and it is socially acceptable.
6.) We are sexually promiscuous, experimental and independent.
7.) We still have relatively active metabolisms.
8.) Middle aged adults enjoy letting loose with us to feel young, thus we freeload at events like tailgates and birthday dinners.
9.) We are the marketing world's target for fashion trends and can interpret the hottest looks however we please.
****10.) And what I find most important is our duty, as free-thinking, well-educated visionaries, to expand the minds of politicians, institutions and our elders. We graduate from college as soldiers of justice, serving our communities as global citizens.
SO in our final year of college freedom and ultimately AFTER COLLEGE, what are we to do?
Are we joining grassroots political movements to save the environment? Are we protesting the war like the hippies before us opposed Vietnam? Are we living thriftly and earning our living through hard-earned labor? NOPE. It's no wonder the working class sees us as spoiled undeserving brats when we enter the work place expecting great responsibility and annual pay raises.
I am challenging my generation to harness their Christian good will, education and privilege. To have a positive impact on our communities to better ourselves and each other. Read newspapers, connect with people of different cultures, races, classes. Reach out to those who bear heavier economic, racial and gender burdens.
Getting cheesy- reminds me of the Michael Jackson song, Heal the World.
