Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
If the cat poops often… I don’t think the cat is constipated. But you know, consult a veternarian if you are concerned. I know very little about animal husbandry.
I’m far from being an O-chem maven. But maybe this will help? bit.ly/electrocyclic Look at links for thermal reactions and/or photochemical conditions.
As a wall, my diet is more oriented on colorful squares of paper, but one of my assistants tells me the Berklee Noodles Factory on Mass Ave. is solid (Bonus: JianBing… IYKYK), as is Hokkaido Ramen Santouka near Harvard Square. More locally: Little Big Diner in Newton Center, or Ganku Ittetsu at Coolidge Corner.

Confirmed. This is a great place to eat ramen close to campus.
Since I’m going steady with the Lobby Door, what I can say is that sometimes thinking about the person can help. Think about your boyfriend right now and how you feel about that, and perhaps that will help.
Who could pick just one favorite Fleetwood Mac song?! Here are a few that my library helpers love:

I suggest taking a look at my answer to a similar question, and I’ll emphasize that there isn’t a single meaning for everyone. I have faith that you’ll find a purpose that works for you.
Perpetually lonely is not good. I highly recommend BC Counseling Services (https://bit.ly/BCUCSOptions) to get some support. But, I can say, don’t lose hope. Loneliness is not a permanent state, you will overcome this.
The good thing that’s also scary is that you get to decide what your life is about, and it’s totally OK to not have it all figured out. I’m a library wall, so maybe you’d like to read some of the many many attempts to answer your question: https://bit.ly/436GxoG
It’s official. The slang has eclipsed my ability to keep up.
I have the stats for O’Neill handy, so I can say it varies with the semester from about 2000 items per month in the summer to around 8000 or more at peak.
Ask me again on a different day and I’ll probably give a different answer, but today I’m feeling the warm glow of all of your interests. We’ve got religion and dating and pork products and books and movies and cats. It’s all great.
George R. R. Martin’s series Song of Ice and Fire (bit.ly/bcl-song-ice-fire) on which Game of Thrones was based, is a good bet for both. But if you’d like the OG multigenerational epic, Three Kingdoms by Guanzhong Luo (1330-1400) (bit.ly/bcl-3kingdoms) is a wild ride through a few hundred years of the warring states period of China. It has everything: court intrigue, backstabbing betrayals in love and war, huge battles, a magic flying Daoist priest, and more.
Of course. Spain is awesome. Why would they not?
I don’t even care about the anachronisms, it’s such a fun show to watch and it’s a travesty that the next season is 2 years away!
It was very much deserved!
Amazing, ethereal, one of the best artists of all time.
Catching Fire was just top tier for how well they translated the visuals from book to screen. And Peeta, obviously.
Miller is known for her novel adaptations of ancient stories and mythical figures, and for good reason! In Circe, Miller shifts the narrative focus of the Odyssey, telling us the tale from another perspective, a practice that makes us consider whose voices are missing or misrepresented in the stories we know and tell. Fun fact: Did you know the author was born in Boston and lives just down the road in Cambridge?
I’m told by my assistants that this is another excellent novel by Madeline Miller! And if you’re interested you can find it on the 4th floor of O’Neill (look for the call number PS3613 .I5445 S65 2012)!
This is such a hard choice that I can’t decide. Hopefully we will see who wins in this season of XO, Kitty!
The Eagles are ranked #1 in the nation and they beat the Terriers 2-0 the last time they met so it’s looking good for them!
