I really don't care for you. It's nothing personal. I read this blog to be informed about the goings-on of the Ivy League, not about your life. Please spare us the posts about yourself, Juli.

I imagine it is more difficult to find relevant topics to post on during the summer. Nonetheless, that fails to justify subjecting the (quickly dwindling) readership of this blog to the reeking refuse these two guest editors have been spewing forth.

The last two guest editors proved that it is possible to write interesting and appropriate posts during the summer. That knowledge, sadly, makes posts like this all the more excruciating.
