In light of yesterday’s blackout, our friends at the Post- Magazine created a Top Ten list entitled, “Things to Do in a Blackout/While Blacked Out.”
Here they are:
“1. Loot the Indy
2. glow-In-The-Dark body paint
3. All those candles Reslife doesn’t know about
4. Knocking down exit signs
5. Rhythm method
6. Calling ex-girlfriends
7. Infrared Berge-watching
8. FishCo
9. ‘Who’s in my mouth’ — Marshall
10. Dirty shadow puppets.”
Love. It. But there’s still one question: what do you do if you’re blacked out during a blackout?

Welcome to the third and final installment of our serialization of Post- Magazine‘s Brown A-Z. In here we have some vital terms for freshmen defined such as S/NC, UCS, and most importantly sexile (sex+exile=sexile). Once again, if anyone can think of any terms we missed, or any corrections to our list (we aren’t perfect), just post them in the comment section. Enjoy!

Todays installment of Brown A-Z features some more useful tidbits of information for those of amongst us who are new to the PVD. On the food front we have The Gate (essential for Pembrookites), Jo’s (essential for Perkinites), Loui’s (essential for every person on this campus), and the super delicious Magic Bars at the Ratty. Today’s list also features Lincoln Field, the site of the September 18th Big Boi extravaganza. Enjoy!

As an incoming freshman last year, I found it incredibly difficult to learn all of the names and terms used to refer to everything in Brunonia, and often found myself wondering who Dave Binder was or why naked people were handing me doughnuts. Thankfully, our friends at Post- Magazine compiled an essential list of terms necessary for any Brown student to know to survive. As we enter into our first weekend of the school year, we figured we would post the A-Z list in three parts, A-F today, G-O tomorrow, and P-Z on Sunday. If any one can think of any terms we left off, please feel free to add them in the comments. So enjoy, because this is likely the only list of terms you will be given without a subsequent test.

In case you missed Wild Animus (the “storytelling experiment that takes you inside the world of a young man, Ransom Altman, who transforms himself into a wild ram.”) being passed out on Thayer this weekend in front of the Brown Book store, we’ve got your back with a recap of the highlights.
The package includes a novel, three CDs (featuring eye-caching track titles such as “tower of blood” and “dazzling dome”) and a letter from the storyteller Rich Shapero, with instructions for maximizing the experience.
The back of the box in which all these come warns the reader/listener/experiment subject “The sweetest kiss leaves a chest wound.” However it is unclear whether this constitutes a rather alarming metaphor for heartbreak or an indication that vampire books are so hot right now.
In case you’re skeptical about the literary merits of Animus, take note that it was very positively blurbed by both a world-class mountain climber and the owner of a gallery (and friends of Shapero, one might suspect). And keep in mind that he wrote the novel while “traversing 400 miles of mountainous terrain solo.”
Intrigued? You’ll find at least one free copy of Animus at The Herald’s offices at 195 Angell. Or you could go to RichShapero.com and try to request a copy yourself. If you’re lucky Shapero will trek hundreds of miles to deliver you a copy himself. If so, be sure to get an autograph.
