Ladies and gentlemen, Belle & Sebastian's "White Collar Boy." Pedro got me into them over the summer (don't be shocked...five mix CDs later and my knowledge of slightly more current music is significantly improved and I credit him with that) and this is my favorite song of theirs that he put on my collection of mix CDs. They're from Scotland, and that's all I've gathered so far, but hopefully Santa can bring me some iTunes cards so I can get some new music on my compy. Enjoy...I really think they're great.
That video, my friends is in celebration of my finally getting the smarts to sync my Blogger with my YouTube account using Firefox, and not Safari. Good job. I don't know why the whole world is so anti-Safari. The PC world can't be hatin' on us Mac users forever, you know. Safari is just as safe as *cringe* Internet Explorer...but I do admit, Firefox trumps, but doesn't look as neat on my computer. And...I go for the asthetically pleasing about 98% of the time. That, and I think I'm better that most people because I use a Mac. No matter. I don't hate on the PC world too often, just when Safari doesn't work because people are hatin' on my happy little Mac world.
Anyway, Thanksgiving? Oh, quite nice indeed. Could have been longer, that's all I could ask for. All my priviledged friends are finally back from their galavants across Europe and Asia, so I got to catch up with people that I hadn't seen in almost a year.
In keeping with the theme of the poor little White Collar Boy we just learned about...it's the last three weeks of the semester. I think I was in denial about this minor detail that has an awful lot to do with my life because I definitely tried to convince myself that staying home would make all the final projects and articles and portfolios go away. It didn't though. Here we go...the rest of this semester cannot possibly go well.
The water in this town is not fit to drink...but, they didn't tell me that when I had a huge cup of it with a Tylenol this morning. I didn't find out until I got to the newspaper in HAGERSTOWN that the water was on boil-before-drinking advisory in SHEPHERDSTOWN. When I got back to change before my night class, there was an ambiguous sign on the door that said DO NOT DRINK and in smaller letters WATER IS CONTAMINATED. I just hope that when the water is clear again the ambiguous sign doesn't say DRINK...or they'll have more drunk children than usual on their hands. Regardless, it's either paranoia or water disease that's left me quite lethargic all day.
But! We're FINALLY starting filming for mine and Jackie's movie for Single Cam. If it's wonderful (which, it should be now that we have a tripod), then you might be lucky enough to see it posted on this here blog.
Is my longest paragrah in this entry about Internet? ...Oh dear God. I need Christmas vacation.
Speaking of, some crazy lady at Macy's attacked me on Black Friday asking if I wanted to work there for the holidays. When I told her I'd be in Rhode Island for four days, she got an attitude with me and said that schedule would simply NOT work with her's. She asked me to work...people...
Stay tuned for the 12 Pains of Christmas, and other stories of holiday goodness.
Peace in the Middle East.
