Since I'm lacking in both big news and creativity, here's an annotated side-by-side of Lawrence and the University of Chicago, thanks to the Facebook Pulse. I've excluded "clubs and organizations" because I have better things to do than translate.

Not that any of this affects me much, of course. But their better taste overall gives me more confidence in my fellow UChicago students.

Lawrentians with good taste should go and testify on their profiles. You can have more than one "favorite" on Facebook, people.

It is really depressing that "The Da Vinci Code" is on there. Also, the fact that Love Actually is number four on Lawrence's list makes me ridiculously angry. I didn't realize that Lawrence's tastes were so...meh...but I guess we have to take into account the overwhelming use of facebook by the new freshman class and their subscription to "super pop culture," as opposed to our cool, geeky and elitist pop culture.

And it doesn't seem to count alumni, which I guess makes sense. That would explain why "Lost" isn't showing up in our top ten shows at all.

Ok, so you just compelled me to go find this out about my own school. Not that I was expecting anything else, but still.

Look upon my work (ye mighty) and despair.
