so long, farewell, good night!

Singing Simon and Garfunkel songs in funny accents can do wonders for one's mood. Seriously, try "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with a generic Eastern European accent and you'll hear what I mean. Then again, singing very "American" songs with any sort of heavy accent has a peculiar effect. "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" is a perfect examle.

Today's concert was better than I thought it would be, considering that I didn't actually warm up or really know any of the songs we were performing! It's rather sad to think that this senior class has the last performers of the Majestic Britain Trip. I'm really keen on Sophia's idea of getting a day pass for the bus or the train and getting off at random stations to sing the old Britain Trip songs just like that time at the Bayswater tube station in London. Who's up for a round of "Nobby 'All?"

(Speaking of Sophia, you have gotten me hooked on "The Lonely Goatherd!" It's your fault, I tell you! Not that I mind listening to the Sound of Music, but it's really hard to get it un-stuck from my head.)

I just received the biggest "Look at how diverse we are!" pamphlet from a university yet. I'm all for multiculturalism and celebration of all kinds of diversity, but do you really need thirty 11x17 sheets of paper to do so? I do appreciate the effort, but Asians aren't exactly underrepresented in higher education.

Did I mention that insurance stuff is looking much happier at the moment and the ants haven't come back to invade today?
