Who’s your favorite Princetonian, living or dead, real or fictional?

SD: Eat breakfast, go to work, eat second breakfast, do some work, eat lunch, work, eat second lunch, work, go to the gym, eat dinner, watch TV with my roommate, eat second dinner, all while being addicted to gmail. It’s amazing how much you can fit in one sentence when it’s a run-on.

KE: I’m either a) in class, b) studying, c) procrastinating on a and b at Terrace meals, or d) singing with the Tigressions.

SD: Obscure competitive TV shows (Top Shot on the History Channel)
ER: Buying samosas from the U-Store at midnight.
