Updates

I was going to title this post: "Same S@#* Different Day", but I decided to keep it clean because I'm nothing if not sensitive. Today I thought I would provide a little Rose update. You know, a little show and tell about me. Actually, I have no idea what that means. I'm struggling for content again. But I thought I would mention a couple things and let you run with them. So do whatever you have to do to make this post funny. Some suggestions are:

1. Read it with a poorly executed British accent. For an extra challenge try a New Zealand accent. Nope, no, see what you're doing there is Australian.

2. Read every 4th word and see if any patterns emerge that are funny.

3. Stop reading this blog, go read something funny and later recall laughing at this blog.


Ok, so now for some updates.

1. I got this email from the Psychology Librarian yesterday:

"Rose: The Psychology Library would like to thank you for representing us in the contest. We have a $25 Iowa City/Coralville Community gift certificate for you. You may stop by the Psychology Library between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to pick it up."

That's right. Not only am I going to go to a free concert tonight to see Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Orchestra perform the Love Songs of Duke Ellington, I get $25 as well. Oh hell yeah, who knows how to put their time to good use? That's right.

2. It's snowing right now. It's not supposed to be snowing right now. It was supposed to stop snowing by 6 AM today. That's not cool. I don't need to be freaking out about driving to the concert tonight. You'd think that the world is out to get me. Ok, you probably wouldn't think that because you're all self-absorbed, but I think that.

3. I've been listening to This American Life for years now and if I have some how not mentioned this to you, I'd like to mention now that you should listen to This American Life. It's an awesome show. Sometimes it makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me cry. Such a great show and you can get it as a free podcast on iTunes. And if you really like listening to it, you can donate to keep it free. It's great. Check out the favorites page for some of the most awesome shows. Seriously, it's good stuff.

4. I should go now. It turns out that I am not actually getting credit for listening to the radio and writing blog entries. You think I'd be able to put that toward the degree, but I've asked and I'm not allowed. Ridiculous.
