Presents
Me: I asked for the Congressional Deskbook: A Practical and Comprehensive Guide to Congress.

Stuff GW People Like: Pretending Not To Have Money →
stuffgwpeoplelike:
In an attempt to defeat the common stereotype of being rich, elite and snobby, many GW students will complain that they have, “like, no money.” Many GW students will avoid eating altogether in a noble effort to spend less money and prove to the world that they are truly struggling. Rationing…
This site is shockingly, embarrassingly spot on.
Drum Roll Please

(Remember that there is no “the” in our domain. ”thebigblockofcheese.com” currently hosts some silly little site that aims to encourage public discourse on political issues and all of that nonsense. Actually it’s a rather grand little site that really expands upon the...
The Magical Time
When Jane spends a few hours fresh faced, sans make up. It sounds a bit queer to say that that’s present enough for me, but it really is. A few hours and a few pictures without any eyeliner in sight. A Christmas Miracle.
No Betty Draper
Let’s just be clear. I’m not up for any of this “being more ladylike” nonsense. I scramble up to clear everyone’s plates not because it’s the woman’s job or any of that, because I’d like to keep the people who made the food from seeing that I actually didn’t eat half of it - I just cut it up and mushed it together. I guess this has the added...
Making it Count
I was just cutting myself a brownie from the batch mom made early tonight, thinking about the days where she would send me them in the mail. I was not of course wistfully wishing for those days, for that was just a month or two ago, back in my dorm.
In DC I made up a chart. Each day was written and I gave myself space to record all of the activities and things I’d accomplished in those...
So Long
I figured I should write a blog before I head out.
I’m not making any predictions on how well I did since the last few times I’ve done that things have absolutely backfired. Safe to say I didn’t fail anything of course, but otherwise we’ll see.
The only christmasy thing that remains is the paper tree with all of the ornaments of my friends. I don’t have the heart...
It Smells Very Much Like Toasted Sendiks Artisan...
I am very much ready for that. And BLTs. And glorious, glorious bread. Sandwiches of any kind really. So soon.

Up on the Hilltop
The night before I had a sick, twisted feeling as I rolled around in bed.
I woke up at 7:36 and whipped out of bed. It was light outside! I’d missed it! And then the phone confirmed it was 7:36.
I turned my phone to vibrate but didn’t dare turn off my alarms. It’s not like my nerves wouldn’t have kept me awake or anything. But I made myself stay in bed until 8,...

A (More Annoying than the Rock) Cycle
Likely because I just have too much time and no viable distractions, I loathe studying more than usual. Because I have no reaonsable distractions (damned spotless room) when I take a break I just feel like I’m wasting time. So I hate myself and go back to studying. And then I hate that too.

As You Might Have Noticed...
We have a new layout! The other one was a free one, meaning it’s nice but a lot of other people could have it. Since I end up spending so much time here, and that time is meaningful to me, I figured I’d dive right out in and pull out the stops for a $9 theme! I figured the BBOC deserves an upgrade. You’ll find posts that I have “liked” from other blogs on the...

Reviewing Christmas
I’ve got a fifteen minute break from re-reading the geology textbook. So I decided I should devote a post to something that’s been on my mind for a little while.
I’m always surprised when something on the internet gets you. Gets you so much that you can’t stop thinking about it. Something in the paper, a news magazine, a book, on TV, it just feels like there’s...

The Meaning of Christmas
If you’ll recall, this is the first week that I’m going to try to do a real review for Community - multi-paragraph, breakdown, analysis, the good stuff. But it will also include short reviews of my other two comedy loves, and those’ll come first.
NBC’s Christmas gift to us all - NO OUTSOURCED! Hallelujah. I can’t wait till it gets kicked out of its cushy...

I’m a believer in compromise, but if this were the West Wing we’d have a President who’d have reached a breaking point and stood up instead. It’s two years to the next election, this is the last chance. I’ll defend as much as I can, but I think people are looking for a leader with a backbone. Who would fight for something, anything, and prove to us that he’s...

State of the Block
Hey everyone - Tumblr was down for about a day so I had a forced hiatus, and when I tried to make this post last night it went down again for me. So here’s the summarized version, the version you write when your e-mail doesn’t save but you still have to send the e-mail so you write a slap dash one insetad.
Since I’m in the full throws of exam season, yes, that time has come....

Nothing Like Yoga in 25 Square Feet
It’s times like these I really wish I were on a tv show. So I could look at a camera and mouth, “what the hell?” when my roommate starts doing air splits. Looks like someone’s trying to get back in shape for when she goes back home. Yeah…9 days should really do the trick…
So in the mean time I just turn to a mirror or an invisible camera and shake my head....

Some Notes Concerning the Holiday Spirit
There are some decorations that we have at home that I just love. Jane may call them tacky, I call them sweet. As a youngster, I learned my lesson well about trying to decorate for Christmas. I always wanted to decorate my room like the house, but it turned out being a jumbled mess since things just didn’t mesh. Putting random trinkets around does not mean good decoration. Slowly I...
