9:19PM

The night before last I dreamed that I was playing tennis with Justin Beiber and Zac Efron.  Weird.

You know that moment right after you click "send" on an email and you know it's too late to take anything back?

8:50PM

Every morning around 7:30 this bird (something reddish like a robin) flies into my bedroom doorwall.  And he does repeatedly for about an hour.  Every single morning.  I think he's out to get me.

I finally realized what my stats prof's whiny, hissy voice reminds me of.  He sounds exactly like Lord Voldemort.

Today I saw a billboard for ... I forget what company... but the slogan was:  "Stimulate Your Own Economy."   Hehehe.

2:26PM - Pictures Say It All

I love this picture from the Indiana University website:



It is so symbolic:  all the white people are on the top of the pyramid.

7:33PM

Best overheard ever:  "...he stopped touching my wife's butthole."  The context:  one student tutoring another in ESL.  They had a workbook, but I'm pretty sure that was not actually printed in the book.  I think that was one devious tutor.

8:21AM - Today Will Be Better

This weekend I finally decided to brave caffeine withdrawal.  It was also my most unproductive weekend ever.  What did I do?  I...

-researched (with particular aid from wikipedia, youtube, and google) the following topics:
-Charles Manson
-Marilyn Manson
-D. B. Cooper
-The Challenger "Explosion" (not really an explosion!  Look it up.)
-the differences between death metal, black metal, thrash metal, doom metal, sludge metal, and goth metal (jury's still out...)
-the Tea Party movement

-took several baths
-went to the grocery store several times
-occasionally tried to see how many pages of Birth of the Clinic I could read before falling asleep.  "In a scirrhus of the pylorus one finds scirrhous elements in the epiploon and the mesentery-" *zzzzzzzzzzzzz*
(Not your best work, Foucault.  And also, better read with caffeine.)

6:25PM - Rockin' Rant

I am really tired of hearing people talk about how rock n' roll harmoniously brought together white and black music, or how it is "the great equalizer" that erases distinctions of race and gender.  Rock n' roll is not significant because it was the first time whites took an interest in black music; that was happening long before (like the swing music that directly preceded it).  I think the reason that rock n' roll seems like such a break from the past is that its emergence coincided with the construction of the American "teenager," and was directly targeted to this new demographic (think about songs like "Teenager in Love," "At the Hop," "School Days," etc.).

As for this idea that rock n' roll brought together black and white?  Right.  We have come such a long way since the segregation of the 1940s, when black music belonged to a separate category, euphemistically labeled "R&B."  First there was rock n' roll.  Then racial distinctions were further erased when white people began to sing soul music.  It was called "blue-eyed soul."  (In distinction, obviously, from real soul music.)  Now, the two most popular categories, rap and rock, have no racial associations whatsoever and the industry has achieved complete integration. 

If anything, white interest in black music was simply a case of white people using black culture for their own constructions of rebelliousness, a time-honored tradition that has carried forward to the present, with suburban white boys fawning over gangsta rap.

And gender?  Women are not well represented in either rap or rock genres, and are primarily pushed toward the sugary pop center of the industry.  Leave rebellion to the men.  Even when the rebellion is anti-macho and gender bending, it is best left in the hands of David Bowie and Marc Bolan, dressed like women, rather than actual women.

Yes, thanks to rock n' roll, we have found ourselves in an egalitarian utopia, where rock bands are completely open to throngs of eager black women, and white girls enjoy fantastic success as rappers.

12:32PM - Ingrid's Restless Vitality

There is a new feature on amazon.com called a "payphrase."  I am not sure exactly what it is, but my suggested payphrase is:  Ingrid's Restless Vitality.  I love it.  That is the new head of my list of prospective band names.


Oh, also, I see that they now have a list of categories that reflect my interests.  How fun!  Any list that starts with "Africa, biology, cantatas, chamber music, civil rights..." is a great list, as far as I'm concerned.

1:51PM - Benjamin Button Reincarnated

Last year I went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Thomas, and then I posted an angry rant about it on livejournal.  

Last night I got an odd voicemail from my dad.  He began, in an infuriated tone, "Did you tell me-"  And then he hung up the phone.  Clearly he was upset.  Very baffled, I called him back.  "Did you tell me to watch Benjamin Button?" he yelled.  "I would never do that because I hated that movie," I replied. A long rant (very similar to mine) followed.

This afternoon I got this email from him:  "It turns out Tom Harnett recommeded it to me and when he confessed to me after church, I threatened to kill him."

8:16PM - FINAL

I am SO glad to be done with this semester!!!!

My intro course had their final exam today. At one point, one of my students really had to go to the bathroom. I knew that he would not cheat, and I think he was just very worked up and anxious. However, it is policy that students are not supposed to leave the room. Feeling sorry for him, I asked him to come down to and try to petition the prof. He began to beg the prof to please, please let him go to the bathroom. And then he added, "Can one of the other TAs come with me and watch me pee??"

I was so tired, and apparently slap happy, at that point that it just sent me completely over the edge. I had a laughing fit that lasted nearly 20 minutes, so hard that I started tearing up. Considering everyone else was still taking the final exam, it was a bit inappropriate.

12:50PM

Yesterday was a bad day. A couple highlights: I went off to do laundry and very purposefully put 6 quarters in my pocket so that I would have one extra - just in case. I got to the laundry building, put in my clothes, and started loading quarters. It turned out one was a dime (?!?) and one was Canadian. I had to run back to my apartment for ONE quarter, and then my key got stuck in the door when I got there. It would not turn and I could not pull it out.

Score.

Generally I don't watch much tv and I don't get into any new shows (I can only watch on the internet anyway), but I discovered Parks and Recreation this year and I LOVE it. This scene from this week's episode is amazing. (She's taking the blame for some guy's hunting mistake.)

I just discovered that I only have three classes left to take for my degree, plus a couple of stats courses for my second language requirement. That means I don't need to take classes next year. Weird.

I'm reading this article where the author quotes himself, and then says, "Yet even that phrasing needs to be qualified lest it seem to reinforce the 19th-century homology of state and nation."

Dude, that was your own quote, from a year ago...

8:42AM - What a Laugh

I just heard about this project to create a more conservative translation of the Bible.

This is being spearheaded by the person responsible for conservapedia, which, by the way, lambasts the theory of relativity.  It does, after all, reject the certainty of the Newtonian world, and relies too much on mathematical formulas.  We need to get back to the more pure science of 500 years ago.
