...xoxohth.com. The bloggers certainly seem to be trying. This burn-book-style blog has received plenty of attention, with articles in The Washington Post and a segment on NPR. With all the hype, you’d think the blog was a cornucopia of juicy gossip about the future Sam McSenators who populate Harvard Law School. Reality disappoints. Scrolling through posts, the most viewed posts includes a YouTube video of an unidentified Harvard Law student with a 40 oz. duct-taped to her wrists that she unsuccessfully tries to remove for a good three minutes.

Merenda ’07) said in response to a complex sight gag, “That’s not impressive, that’s just a bunch of things thrown together.” This description was an excellent working definition of Surrealism—and it could very well have described the serial structure of the play itself.
