::laughs:: When I saw this video, I had to make sure that I wasn’t accidentally surfing some joke website. “Don’t question authority! Vote Bush!”

Don’t you love it when the official websites themselves are funnier than the parodies?

Ugh. Great morning. I wake up to see that tnm.n is down (in fact, the entirety of your-site.com is down! *seethes*) and I’m coughing up blood again. It’s always been in really tiny amounts, but this morning, it’s twice as much as usual. I’m trying to arrange for a doctor’s appointment as I type. So yeah. It’s blogspot for me today.

I started this in what, late September? I have the attention span of a gnat and the self-motivation of a dish of skim milk*. But it’s finally done!** Now comment or walk the plank, yarrr!

Pirates!

* Best. Phrase. Ever. Thank you, Renata! *hearts*

** Well, the VSP did get in the way… And, you know, academics.

(I really am studying for my exams! I promise!)

Yay! Java homework finished in a record 4 1/2 hours! Go me!

But now, the moral dilemma rears its ugly head. Should I try out for One Acts, or wait until January to try out for the Penn Singers?

Pros: One Acts (“The Philadelphia” by David Ives, “The Santaland Diaries” by David Sedaris, and “For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls” by Christopher Durang)

  • Nepotistic connections: I know one of the tech heads

  • David Sedaris rocks my socks.

    Cons: One Acts

  • My voice is still a tad weak from sicklyness

    vs Pros: Penn Singers (“The Gondoliers” by Gilbert and Sullivan)

  • Gilbert and Sullivan! Come ON!

  • Light opera! Come ON! I’ve always wanted to try light opera!

  • I have better odds of making the group in the Spring, as more people try out in the fall. And they clearly really liked me last fall; it was just a matter of too many auditionees for too few spots.

  • I’ve wanted to be a part of the Penn Singers since I first found out about them, ages ago.

    Okay, no question. I’m trying out for the Penn Singers again. But I wonder… the Penn Singers Business Manager is directing one of the one acts. Would it be possible to do both? No, I wouldn’t want to do two shows at once. Stop trying to make excuses to try out for the one acts and just sit tight until January.

    Random Question: Does anyone know how to pronounce “Kucinich”? Poor angry little gnome. *patpat* If only we lived in some magical fairy land where you were electable. ::waves Fangirls for Dean poster::

    Responding to Commentage:

    Brenna: Eeee! Alan’s “Open 24 hours” shirt! *hearts* Gah, Alan and Ewan. 2 of my 3 favourite Scots! I need to see “Emma” again: Alan and Ewan in period costume, both looking like complete dweebs! *dies of love*

    Alicey: Wouldn’t we all? :D

    Anonymous: Ha!

    Click here. Campbell’s soup will donate a can of soup to the needy for every vote. Even if you don’t have a favorite team, just pick someone.

    Also, for any students on a meal plan: A lot of meal plans are broken up into semesters, and if your plan is anything like mine, you probably have quite a few meals left over. Penn’s plan has an “Express” option, in which you’re given To Go a sandwich, a choice of sides, a drink, and a dessert. If your school has anything similar, consider using your excess meals for good, donating these Express meals to a homeless shelter or similar. Why waste a meal you’ve already paid for?
