...benefits of final clubs are obvious enough to their members and guests. I really wish other Harvard students had an opportunity to develop opinions of their own without such a siege of misinformation. I did not invent this club system and I wish that women had an equivalent, but given the opportunity to take advantage of final clubs and the lack of comparable social options, I honestly feel that it would be almost negligent for me not to do so, either as a member or as a guest...
...dances around London suits his style, so too does the new album Peach Head fit a certain style. Only the style is "life in the slow lane." The album comes from Natural Calamity, a band The Japan Times calls "Tokyo's best-kept secret." The record brings guest vocalist Stephanie Heasley together with the original members of Natural Calamity, Shunji Mori and Kuni Sugimoto. The result is a "peachy" sounding record with some great moments, but some listeners may find the peach a little too soft...
Natural Calamity's melodic bass line, vocals and drum accompaniment dominate its sound. Secondary are its guitar and keyboard effects.

The proliferation of windows facing the water is distinct from any other wall. The entire house is composed along a diagonal that mimics the slope down to the water...
There is a lesson or two to be learned from these cautionary tales. There are a few things you can do to protect yourself. Screen potential guests on the basis of hygiene (e.g. does she bring her own soap or shampoo?) and sociopathic tendencies. When a nightmare guest does take over the room, stay tolerant by staying absent. Above all, be very, very cautious upon hearing the disclaimer "I don't really know her that well." There is truth to the old saying that houseguests, like fish, start to stink after three days. Some of them arrive rotten...
