Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oh, and the bride and groom's first dance was to "Our House." (The "very very very fine house" one, not the "in the middle of our street" one.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

man, you know I went to the Madness place and I will have that song playing in my head all day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like the Madness one more, but the "very very very fine house" does have two cats in the yard....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bonus: It was the house Joni Mitchell shared with Graham Nash.

The Best Scenes From Insane Old Star Trek Coloring Books

The 1986 Star Trek Alien Coloring Book did the world a great service by reminding the world that, yes, James T. Kirk was once menaced by a kitty the size of a cabin.

Also, the ones where the crew of the Enterprise visit a planet of circus performers, so they go undercover as clowns.

No, really.

Oh, the bride's brother (who is a musician) also played and sang Peter Paul & Mary's "Wedding Song" during the ceremony, and we were supposed to sing along, but they forgot to print the lyrics in the program, so we mostly just sang the "there is love" part and let him sing the verses alone.

Because books.

I love that song.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

"Our House." (The "very very very fine house" one

I love that song! Possibly because it is about Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell, but I think I loved it as a kid, before I even knew who they were.

I have not yet done anything but answer the phone and deal with things that came from that.

I need to

  • Go through student worker applications and set up interviews
  • Send room assignments to fall instructors
  • Pick a date and write a course description for a Microsoft Word Class
  • Plan Word Class
  • Do the same for excel
  • find a date for Wound Closure Class
  • Draft end-of-course instructor summaries for instructors who have left the university, and one instructor who is super behind, because we are getting a review from accreditors
  • Set up a complex meeting
  • Update Website
  • Sned email to big-wig with our registration needs
  • Read and revise my student's research for some projects for my boss.

Arrgh! All so boring to me at this moment.

For some reason I read 'Peter Paul and Mary' as "The Carpenters" and was imagining "We've Only just Begun". Which was oddly a song that I played for a recessional at the graduation ceremony when I was in eighth grade (You were moved up to "Varsity Band" for graduation because the seniors didn't play. Yes we had Varsity Band and Varsity Chorus, and you could get a letter, and technically join Varsity Club)

Sophia, maybe do the task that seems the most onerous/boring to get it off your list? I find that usually gives me victorious feelings that will carry me through a couple other boring tasks.
