'Cause I know where Golden's mind goes.

Has a rap/R&B song ever sampled Buddy Holly's "Dearest?"

I think someone should. It's been in my head all day, and I think it'd be good.

Since my passion for the Office knows no bounds, I'm always searching for stuff related to the cast/crew, and I've recently stumbled upon Rainn Wilson's site, Soul Pancake. One of the recent posts asked readers to confess their Polyamourous Crushes ("A polyamorous crush goes beyond sexuality; it’s about being enthralled with either a couple, a team, a cast, even a mob of people working towards a common goal. You’re not quite sure, but something about them turns you on.") So, here are my polyamorous crushes (and, surprise, surprise, they all revolve around television):

1) Dunder Mifflin, Scranton Branch Employees
2) People cast in multiple Joss Whedon projects
3) The cast of HIMYM
4) Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy
5) The Spanish Study Group of Community. (Heck, and the teachers too, really the whole cast).
6) The Monarch and his crew: the Mrs. and the henchmen (not those creepy little guys).
7) Jeff and Phil (hosts of Survivor/The Amazing Race)

I'm in the London program! Woo! I'll be spending May abroad! :)

Yayyyyy!

I wrote this! And it's published! Published somewhere that isn't the Zephyr!

This is the second thing I've written that's been published for the DPAC, and it makes me super happy.

:D

So, over the weekend, Jason told me about the Blake, Bear, and Bee related religion of the future, and today in my International Environmental Politics class, I decided to do a little image consulting for the cult. The pictures above are what I came up with.

Also, the latin for bees is "apis," the latin for bears is "ursus." Septimus means "seventh," but I just think it sounds cool. Maybe seven can be an important number in the First United Blakeodist Church.

Septimus Blakeus Apis Ursus, fellow bee-lievers. (That pun was so bad, it stings.)

(Man, THAT pun was so bad, it...I'm just gonna stop now. Bee puns are just too easy to come by.)

Keep getting the RENT theme stuck in my head. The "How we gonna pay?" part.

On the plus side, the experience has gotten more bearable since Jason came. Tonight, I spent a lot of time just thinking about how great it had been to have Jason there the night before. And that's essentially how I got through it.

With the power of JASON (NNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn)!

Jason makes me feel so much better about all the RENT stuff. So much better.

It's always been strange to me how I tend to put off certain relatively simple tasks.

Like checking the mailbox in the Student Union, or asking Linda if I can get discounted tickets to Spring Awakening.

I guess it's either because I'm lazy, or because I hope someone else will do it for me...I guess those are essentially the same thing. In the case of the Linda thing, it might be because she'll probably say no, and I don't know how to address that anyway. How do you ask for free/discounted things? Do you just ask? Do you find a way to get it to that topic?

Or could I just be like, Whaddup, Linda, hook me up with some Spring A tix? Word.

That's totally me.

Kate ( mshavisham ) and I are studying for our second International Politics Midterm at the moment, and I thought I'd take advantage to add another aspect of blogging to the blog reunion tour, the interview:

Sarah: So, Kate, how are you feeling about the upcoming Poli exam?
Kate: [sigh] I dun' even know. I dun' even know. Are you asking me questions?

I show Kate my screen, and she laughs.

Kate: What's your username on Mindsay?
Sarah: Shepstep.
Kate: I knew that [types].

Sarah: Aren't you gonna eat some of this cookie, Kate?
Kate: Jesus, yes. [looks over] Oh God, you really are copying down everything. This cookie's so hard. [eats cookie].

Kate: Sarah, you need to watch this video. I have to plug my computer in first.
[I eat more cookie].
Kate now makes a statement about the change in volume in the gallery where we're studying, but I'm not really sure what she was trying to say, so I'm not gonna type it out. We're now gonna watch this video, "So Your Cat Wants a Massage?"

Well, we watched it, and it was...odd. I'm not really sure what part of it was real.

Kate: All of it was real, it was taken from a real instructional video about how to vacuum a cat, and by vacuum a cat, I mean give a cat a massage.

Best quote from the video: "Who's the best cat in the United States, it's you, Champer Tamper, It's you!"

Sarah: Shall we get back to the grindstone, Kate?
Kate: [Grumbles in a Kate-ish way and persuses entries from the blogging reunion tour, then reads what I've wrote] Yes, we can go back to working.

And so ends the "paws" filled interview/conversation/study break. Hope it's been worth reading; International Relations dulls one's creativity....sorry for that terrible paws thing. Oh, and watch the video. The cat makes some awesome faces.
