I can't get to any of the Java games on Popcap, so instead I'm playing Minesweeper. I feel so retro!

Our wings are not tired.
I can easily play Minesweeper for sixteen straight hours. Which is why I don't ever let myself start.

Bejeweled is my timesucker online game. That, and the Hoyle Board Games CD, with Parcheesi, Battleship, Yahtzee, and Mah Jong on it.

I'm spending my afternoon googling library salary ranges, trying to get an idea for what field I want to go into after I get my masters. It looks like $40K is do-able straight out of library school, regardless of what my library friends told me (that's the national average for 2005 MLIS graduates), but would involve me taking some computer/tech classes (not a bad idea, anyway) to get the higher-paying gigs.
I should be hearing back from UIUC in a week or two.

So I have this version of "Survivor" on my iTunes which features the lyrics "not gonna compromise my Jewish history," and I can't figure out who's singing it. The iTunes store isn't offering much other than Destiny's Child, and I really don't think it's them. Googling "compromise my Jewish history" yields nothing at all.
...ah. It looks like it may in fact be Jill Sobule. Does anyone have her cover of this song? I'd like to verify that it actually is her before I change the artist information in my library, but I can't find any samples online to check against.
Yes, I AM supposed to be grading, why do you ask?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Emily, I also have that cover. It is Jill Sobule.
