My new HDTV arrived. I assembled it, and I just watched an .avi file from a USB flash drive. I'm finally living in the future.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Art Crawl!!!
At last - I have untangled my extremely tangled hank of yarn. Now to find that pesky pattern to start actually knitting it.

Wow! That`s an awesome haul, msbelle!
Hee, sumi, congrats. I know what that`s like. One time I spent an entire plane ride untangling. My seatmates were much bemused by the process, apparently waiting for me to start knitting. There was much subtle sighing in relief when I finally did.

OK, question in re: Grey's (not really a spoiler): Do y'all KNOW your college's alma mater? I know...the TUNE to mine, because I was in the pep band and we had to play it. But I don't think anyone but some few people in one of the choirs knows the words! But everyone knows the fight song. Is that odd?

That's some excellent acquisition, msbelle and shrift.
When my sister got married, we did this thing at the reception tossing balls of yarn (25-50 of them, I'd estimate) to each other to make this enormous sort of woven spider webby thing. It was a neat experience, but the end result, once everyone let go, was more of a giant tangle than anything else. Her mother-in-law patiently picked it all apart and rolled it all back into discrete balls. It took her months. I was amazed it could be done at all.
Eta: I know my college alma mater but (a) it's silly and easy to remember and (b) we didn't have a fight song to confuse the issue.

What if tomorrow bring, sorrow or anything, other than joy.
What if't be wintry chill, rain, storm, or summer's thrill?
Tomorrow's the future still,
This is today.
Tomorrow's the future still,
This is TO-DAY!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The only thing I remember about my college alma mater is that there's a line about sorrows being as transient as April's Brief Showers and we all had to try not to laugh in the middle of graduation because it rains ALL THE FUCKING TIME in April.
Also, that was the first time I ever heard the thing.
The fight song, everyone knew the drinkified words better than the official ones. Note: Not a school known for much in the way of "fight".

I googled to confirm, and apparently we got a less silly (but still a little silly) "college song" after I graduated. Huh.

Please, when else do you get to say "swift Potomac's lovely daughter"? Of course, I probably only know it because I was in the bicentennial class and it was played all the time that year.
