Long Time, No Blog

After a week of friends, family, and food, I am back at St. Lawrence, where it is snowing. Nice six hour drive to get up here, but at least I dodged most of the bad weather that seems to have plagued the Northeast today. Although Thanksgiving is possibly my least favorite holiday (No presents + lots of relatives = meh), seeing everyone back home was awesome, and I had a lovely break. Anyhoo, no real topic today, just some assorted thoughts and suggestions.

DO listen to Damien Rice. I did a lot of that on the long car ride I had today, and his voice is second to none. Standout tracks include: The Blower's Daughter, Lonelily, Cannonball.

DO NOT neglect your school email for the whole of break. You may have a poster and two page essay due Monday morning.

DO watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Produced during that strike we had last year, it's a mostly funny but then abruptly serious 45 minute production that you should probably take the time to watch. Who knew Neil Patrick Harris could sing? What percent of the readership knows who he even is? (Doogie Howser, M.D. for the record)

DO NOT excitedly show all your college friends a video you made with your high school friends. They might not find it as funny as you expect, although if your college friends are nice like mine, they'll still chuckle appreciatively.

DO find a way to sign Varitek, Theo. Please.

DO NOT allow the theme song to Reading Rainbow to get stuck in your head, as my roommate has done. He says it's because a cousin watched the show a lot over Thanksgiving, but I'm dubious.

I was thinking about how unfunny "ninjas" would be if you didn't know anybody in it. sorry i didn't warn you.

It makes me sad that "ninjas" wasn't funny to them. It was the best movie ever.
