living on your western shore

( My ex-roommate is geekier than you! )

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

You know what’s weird about the East coast? The ocean is on the wrong side. Clearly I have to adjust my worldview a little bit. But you see why Tolkien and C.S. Lewis had such different viewpoints? I mean, just look at what they each put in the East and West. Go on, think about it.

Went to see Culture Clash’s production of The Birds at the Getty Villa courtesy of some awesome Getty Villa people who think students with the right connections should get free tickets to things. It was much fun and Dick Cheney-bashing. Seriously, pretty much the only thing they didn’t do was “Oh, so the Undisclosed Location is Cloudcuckooland!”. It was updated to the extreme and modern up-to-the-minute, with references to Anna Nicole and Britney’s bald head. And, for our daily dose of random, a sippy cup. They also had a much darker take on the end. Suffice it to say, there was more to come after the wedding song-and-dance routine. Involving a death-spot.

I received what I shall take as a great compliment, in that one of my fellow inmates students said that Peisetairus (aka Barack Obama Osama Fox Bawhatsit, or just “Fox” to us) sounded just like my version of Peisetairus. I was deeply flattered.

I have also found out what “pratfall guy” means. It doesn’t exactly amount to being Red Shirt... but it’s close enough! Mwa-hahaha. I am so evil.

I have far too much studying to be getting on with. Can you tell?
