So, my future is officially eternally up in the air. I spoke to some people in the Arabic department today, to see exactly why they turned me down for this summer. Somehow I got the head of the department pondering; I told him how I couldn't stay in Austin unless I was getting money, and how I'm nervous to be going to Egypt with only one year of ( Read more... )

This is why I am the way I am. Everyone here grew up watching Mr. Rogers? This is what I grew up watching. It's totally ridiculous, from the 70s, and involves strange fabric mice on a strange little planet. You can watch clips from the show and everything. In one, Little Mouse talks to a cloud and then rides it around, and then the rest of the ( Read more... )

I'm completely and utterly in love with this song. It's completely delightful. I'm serious. It's perfect to listen to whilst studying, or whilst reading, or doing anything. It has the perfect mix of optimism and calm and success. Success ( Read more... )

Man, today we were talking about bullies and mean kids in school. I remember being tormented a lot by mean boys in kindergarten and first grade. The mean, physical boys that would shove you and run away, those ones I ignored, because they just do their thing and then leave.

So, I'm pretty darn in a good mood right now. Here are two things that are like the soundtrack to what my life is right now:

Saul Williams - List Of Demands (Reparations): Go to this page and click 'listen'. That is unfortunately the only way I've found to be able to listen to that song....(all the links to download it for free are broken ( Read more... )

Um, did you ever wonder what an Arabic South Park spoof would look like? Well, uh, look no further...

Here are two delightfully good songs:

Mika--Grace Kelly

Mika--Grace Kelly (Pull Tiger Tail Remix)

The second one is stuck in my head right now. Just thought that I'd share.

Oh goodness, are you feeling less than great? Blue day got you down? Is there a lack of dancing in YOUR life??? Then fear not! Listen to this song, for seriously. Totally awesome.

The Beatles vs. Diplo--Shhake It Up

Go have a dance party!

So here is the grand summary, the brief overview of what I have been up to for the past little while. I'll try to be brief. Spring break was fantastic, although I didn't do nearly as much sleeping as I had planned, or writing of papers. Or anything scholastic at all. I did, however, see a lot of friends, have lunch with Aaron, get my hair cut, ( Read more... )

Oh man, do I have some presents for you guys! If you woke up this morning wishing that someone would post a bunch of good music tracks, YOU ARE IN LUCK. (I am a little delirious and unable to post about anything relevant to my life or what has been going on recently, maybe that information will appear soon, who knows, I'd like to take a nap!)
