McArthur Park
I've been doing inventory at work, counting things from 9-5 for the last four work days, finishing up today. I counted thousands and thousands of things, from jerseys to shorts to coats to key chains to mini-bats and so on and so forth, so my brain is a lot of mush.
So, late this afternoon, we finish with the inventory of last year's stuff, so we get to start counting and ticketing NEW stock we will be selling next year. There was this box of rally towels. I had to count them to make sure all 576 were there. And then, ticketing!! Unfortunately, the company that manufactures these towels is called "McArthur". So as I ticket, I am humming "McArthur Park" to myself. Except, I don't really KNOW the words. So what I'm singing in my head ends up being some weird hybrid of "McArthur Park" and "Jurassic Park", its parody by Weird Al. On and off for the last hour and a half.
McArthur Park is something in the dark,
all the dinosaurs are running wwwiiiillldddd!
Someone left the cake out in the rain!
I don't think that I can take it,
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe agaaaaaiiiinnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOOOOHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Also, today I got officially accepted into grad school!! WOO. I have orientation in April and classes start in May. I'm going to have to go over to Milwaukee sometime in February/March to find an apartment. And then maybe start to move stuff over when I go for orientation? I don't know. But I'm excited. Dru-kitty was sitting in my lap when I read my acceptance e-mail, and she got hugged and spun around a bit. I'm not sure she's all that excited yet, but I'm certain she'll be glad that she won't have to put up with Quincey bullying her anymore.
