I got my hair cut today at my favorite place (the only legit Fantastic Sam’s I know of). I’m on a first name basis with the two girls. Natalie even showed me her baby today. What’s great is that, since I’m their friend now, they actually try when they cut my hair. Basically, I get a $20 haircut for $12. It’s the only place in Overland Park that actually makes me feel like I used to live there.

I need a haircut really bad, but I’ve been trying to find time to get it done. I’m gone all day, every day, so I can’t just go to my normal Fantastic Sams; I’m hesitant to reach out to a foreign Fantastic Sams close to campus because it means I’ll get crappy haircuts for months before they remember me.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have a four-hour break between classes. All I want to do is fall asleep in the library, but I feel pretty awkward sleeping in public. The third and fourth floors are less populated, but I don’t get a wi-fi signal up there, so I would have to pack up my things and change floors when I want to study/sleep.

Summary: I’m so tired.

It’s kind of the best thing ever.

This is excellent; I fully intend to hang this poster in my classroom when I start teaching.

Google’s Superbowl ad.

OMG I LOVE THIS

perfect perfect perfect

I cried. SO?

:’D

me: i loved that google commercial.

brendan: i know, you mentioned that about ten times.

me: i’m gonna go look for it online.

brendan: want me to leave so you can masturbate to it?

I didn’t have to watch the Super Bowl last night, because I can count on trusty Tumblr users to post the commercials that were worth seeing.

Search engines should not be able to manipulate my feelings so easily.

I watched 7 episodes of House today.

New favorite: Season 6, Episode 1, Broken

Yeah, that was a really good episode. I’m a couple episodes behind for this season, but I’m trying to find time to catch up.

Museum directors trash talk via twitter and each selects a piece to borrow from the other if their hometown football team wins the Super Bowl!

From the article:

The Australian band Men at Work are facing a big legal bill after a court ruled it had plagiarised a Girl Guides’ song in its 1983 hit, Down Under.

Larrikin Music had claimed the flute riff from was stolen from Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree, written by Marion Sinclair in 1934

I love it. Could they have stolen a melody from a more Australian song for their own Australian song? It’s like writing a song called “I Love London, You Guys!” and then stealing the melody from that “London Bridge” song. And then getting sued for it.

wherethelightis:

Its amazing how many evangelicals support this guy. He declares himself “Mr. America” but not before he has a chance to degrade a few women.

“I love the women’s movement, especially when walking behind it.”

Read between the words and you see:

“I think the women’s movement is great, especially when I get to see all of their beautiful asses strutting down the street while I sip on my scotch, choke down some pain killers, and smoke my $500 cigar. Meanwhile my wife is four Vicodin’s into the day, at home where she belongs, making my fat ass a homemade all American apple pie that she bought from Betty Crocker. Oops, I forgot, I don’t have a wife, I’ve been divorced three times, probably because I am a sexist pig who got caught with a suitcase full of illegal Viagra on my way back from the world’s most popular sex tourism country.”

Not only do you degrade women but you aid in conditioning them to believe that they need men or belong to them. You also condition a league of cowardly men to treat women as objects.

Whatever, man. Fat bottomed girls/Sexists make this rockin’ world go ‘round.

Also: Yikes! Stricken text doesn’t show up as such on the dashboard?

I feel like I should explain this. James Dueck is the source of the rain sound loop on rainymood.com. I may have downloaded the rain loop to play overnight on my laptop, forgetting that all of my listens are sent to last.fm.

I’m glad I downloaded it, too! Shortly after I got my copy—30 whole minutes of rainy bliss—the website cut it down to a 15 minute version. I like mine more.

You can extrapolate from all of this that I got 8 hours of sleep on the night I listened to it in iTunes.
