| | While doing my laundry today, I glanced at the list of environmentally-friendly laundry tips posted by STEP (the S is for "student," E is for "Environmental," you get the idea). The list had a catchy title above each tip--perhaps to grab attention, perhaps because whoever wrote it wanted to waste some ink (shame on you!)
My favorite: "Dad yells check the oil, Mom yells check the lint".
I was rather amused by this wholly unnecessary reinforcement of gender roles. Kind of like the letter from the Yale Club of California alum who painstakingly referred to first-year students as "freshpeople," but announced that he had put many "man-hours" into writing the letter.
In other news, Gunther performed in Commons on Friday. Yes, Gunther, the sketchy Swedish pop star with a mullet and fine mustache. If you haven't watched his music videos, check them out at his website and you'll realize how ridiculous it is that Yale, bastion of high society intellectualism, was the first stop on his tour of America.
