Things I felt you needed to know
I found my Penny Arcade Birds Are Weird this morning, and it may have affected my brain.
"Empire State of Mind" is apparently this month's sleep deprivation song. I heard a bit of it on Friday as I was putting my car in a more correct spot, and now as I try to keep myself awake, I listen to it again and again.
I slept for, hm, four hours last night. I stayed in bed an extra two on top of that.
Earworm 1 of the moment is "Tail and Mane" by Cryptacize. I have no clue what that band name means, but I will cheerfully play "If I could fiiiiind my way back to you" for hours. And did, last night.
In my last class today, a student told me I had a great smile, that I looked like I was up to "mischief." Which is a new one.
Earworm 2 is "When the Night," by Annie. It's insidious; I'll play it through a few times to get rid of it, will think I have, then find myself singing it fifteen minutes later. Rinse, repeat.
I am enjoying being a DA more than I thought. I feel much more relaxed in those classes. I need to bring some of that attitude to mine own class, or I am gonna lose some of that 60+. Some more of that.
I keep hearing "Replay" by Iyaz at what seems like random times--on the bus, randomly in the SUB, on the way home. It always makes me smile.
For this class, I wore the brown boots. They win as far as hurty feet, as it didn't really kick in until after class. That stumble back to the Lab was rough, though. But hey, once a week heels so I can truly "look down" on my class is all good for me.
I don't want to admit how much fun it is to sing "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha. I wish I knew what that voice quality she has is called, or if it has a name at all.
A student came by as I was packing up today and said, "Can you hand out the attendence sheet earlier? Some of us have classes after this." Point: valid. Tone: snotty. Response: Agreement. Internal response: DIDN'T I JUST SAY IT DOESN'T COUNT FOR POINTS? Not to mention people keep adding themselves and hrrrrrgh.
I keep waking up with "Slow Down, Gandhi" by Sage Francis in my head. "All I wanted was a fucking Pepsi!"
Dora has started peeing on my coat again, or at least has done it two weeks in a row. Dunno if it's a reaction to long days or what. After treating and washing, washing and treating, can still catch hints of it in the air. Early morning inner monologue then seems to descend to Rorscach levels: "Jan 26. Cool morning. Faint remnant of cat piss on the air, like the echo of this city's corruption. Child cries in the other room, sharply, before soothed by mother. Soothing is as much for her as him, sense the slime that is stirring, moving, lapping at their feet. Time to go teach."
I didn't say I was GOOD at it.
And then I amused myself with Rorscach the Perfumer--"Smell lily, cocoa, breath of orange blossom--a masking blend"--on the way to school.
I think my MP3 player eats songs. "Lion" disappeared off it, and I've never gotten that Ill Bostino song on it in the first place. Strange. Eeire.
Mass Effect 2 is out, and I envy the heck out of yall who get to play it. I don't have the system nor the time to get involved, but I am looking forward to the reactions. Also, I need an icon that says "My Commander Shepard is a Woman" or some such, because Bioware's emphasis on MaleShep annoys the shit out of me.
As much as I like "Empire State of Mind," I only really like the chorus of the all Alicia Keys version. May require a few more listens.
Made it to eight. Can sleep now.
