Yesterday I made Mother's Day cards for my mom and grandma while

Okay, so apparently science is even cooler than originally suspected: there is a Dance Your PhD contest, where, as you can maybe figure out, you have to submit a video of you interpretatively dancing your PhD thesis.

My favorites from last year include:

MURDER BY DEATH IS PLAYING IN CANADA IN OCTOBER, eeeeee

They'll be part of a music festival, and looking over the list of other attendees, I have discovered some cool new bands, and I haven't even made it through all of them. (This is the pretty great silver lining on the cloud of I KNOW NONE OF THE OTHER PEOPLE AT THE FESTIVAL)

I love this video so much, for so many reasons. LET ME LIST THE MAIN ONES FOR YOU, BECAUSE I LOVE TO MAKE LISTS

1) Heteronormativity? What heteronormativity? Oh, the heteronormativity that they shook up and stood on its head.

2) Sexy fat ladies singing and dancing on top of tables. Hell yes.

3) Awesome song.

Guys! I don't have enough procrastination material. What are your favorite LiveJournals/sites to stalk?

I really like food_porn, futurismic_feed, and cute_overload.

I'm back from Colorado! I had an awesome time and heard some stories I'd never heard before, like how the great grandmother I never knew got some baby chickens drunk and how my uncle asked my aunt out on the day after Valentine's Day, so she wouldn't think he was serious about it ( Read more... )
