is hurrrrrr.

Actor Jason Segel – best-known for his portrayal of Marshall Eriksen in the hit television show How I Met Your Mother - has been spotted in and around Harvard Square since Wednesday evening.

Segel was allegedly seen imbibing alone at Grendel’s on February 1.

Today, this shot of the actor was taken in the Yard:

Segel is in town to accept his honor as the Hasty Pudding Man of the Year on February 3.

And the countdown to fangirl it up starts…NOW.

Happy 375th, Harvard!

Great news, Harvard! For the time being, it is safe to assume that the voices we hear walking through the Yard in our collectively sleep-deprived, midterm-frenzied states are, in fact, real.

As part of Harvard’s 375^thAnniversary hoopla, excerpts of famous speeches given at the university in the past one hundred years will be playing on speakers placed in the trees of the Yard, a project entitled Harvard Voices*. Among the individuals whose dulcet tones will be gracing our ears are Bill Gates, Mother Teresa, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., e.e. Cummings, J.K. Rowling and the late Senator Edward Kennedy.  The complete list of voices may be found here, and instructions to access all the speeches are at this link.

So next time you’re racing to get to Lit and Sex before all the seats in Sanders fill up, do take time to pause and revel in this shining exemplar of your extant sanity.

Yard. Pretty. Sound. (Photo credit: commons.wikimedia.org)

*Why yes, we do love this name.

Let’s do this, people!

Dear Harvard,

Life is short. We have a lot of snow on the ground right now. It will be ugly soon.

The course of action for us is clear. Massive, schoolwide, multi thousand person snowball fight.

But it can’t happen without you. Invite your friends. Post the event on your wall. Forward to lists.

Will your life be filled with lameness or awesomeness?

The choice is yours.

Spread the word!

Harvard Moves Snow!

Sam Novey

So, basically: 8:30 PM.  Yard.  Be there.

(And please don’t be a jerk.)
