I never met a pearl quite like you

Oh my goodness, stop spamming, self.

I have very little voice left at this point. I'm mutely lipsyncing along with the music and it's very unfulfilling. *single tear*

I forgot to say though! For the dance we learned yesterday for Law Show*, we all get to wear top hats! It makes me happy! Some guy I don't know was commenting on the awesomeness of the hats and said he was going to wear his home on the train. "It makes me feel like Slash!" I say, cheerfully air-guitaring. He pretends to do a double-take and goes "The resemblance! It's uncanny!" Thank you, nameless dude, for the excellent giggle. *g*


* For those who haven't been around to hear me yap about this last year, the law students can sign up for this big musical production that we perform during January to raise money for the local women's shelter. We generally manage to raise quite a lot, since most of the local law firms sponsor us. This'll be my second year as a dancer in it, but there's acting and singing and all the music performed by the students too. We've got some talented folks in the faculty. And the rest of us just have coffee and enthusiasm. *g*

Here, this is stupidly lacking in content and I feel bad. Have some music! It's rare that I'll continue liking songs that get overplayed on the radio (I still can't listen to Welcome to the Black Parade all the way through for this reason) but these two have managed to stay excellent despite a wicked case of overplaying.

Cage the Elephant - Ain't No Rest For The Wicked
Muse - Uprising

My mom phoned me this morning and I was so out of it that I was like "Oh hey, it's just me" when I answered. Amazing.

Wrote about half of this bit on the airplane, so that was cool! (Stealing chlare's trick of not looking at how far behind I am, but just going chapter by chapter. Hurray, sanity.)

So. Incredibly. Sick.

Here's hoping this zips through as fast as it came on.

apiphile: @jencendiary it might get you farther, there's probably less chancers and more skills required.

Patrick Stump was (is?) on Live at Daryl's House today, and they did What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted, which is only one of my favorite songs ever. So of course I had to isolate the mp3 of it, and if anybody else would like a copy, here. Revel in the awesome.

Patrick, you are still awesome. Only for you would I take this break in my flailing over the leak of The Fame Monster (and post twice in one day).

(In unrelated news, I love how I can edit entries on DW and the edits will transfer to LJ.)

Hey youse guys! With my finals coming up, I've had even more time to study procrastinate. Which means, more silly sketches!
All of these are clean.

HEY-OH: I know, I know, its not technically IB, but it has to deal with the subject matter. Actually, its from the h-i-larious movie, The Producers. If you haven't seen it, here is the scene for this sketch:

P.S.

Warning, if you can read anything I write, I think there are one or two f-bombs.
