Today's Mixtape

I checked out Ghostland Observatory on Friday night at Webster Hall. This was a great show, from the lasers down to the vampire-esque cape on the band's drummer/keyboardist/music maker. However, the frontman can sure rock the room, as was evident on the first song on this mix - "Midnight Voyage." It seemed like this guitar riff would keep going and going and going.

A Major Pet Peeve

Best Quote from my MBA Education

As my time in school winds down (and as I study for the last of my midterms), I am reminded by some of the funnier things professors say when they are trying to be serious. However, I doubt that many unintentionally funny quotes could top this gem from my Debt Instruments professor, who was explaining stripped Treasury securities and the market for these instruments:

There is money to be made in stripping.

Thanks professor. That's just what I came to school to learn. Maybe I can start paying down my loans!

Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me.

In the words of a friend (describing another friend), I'm now two-thirds less crazy.

But I'm at least twice as indignant, slightly funnier, and possibly less ironic. And I'm not at all opposed to starting sentences with a conjunction (though, unlike Vampire Weekend, I am in favor of an Oxford Comma).

More than that, I'm back after a short hiatus. I really didn't have anything better to do (hello Facebook Hold 'Em!): I have just been lazy. Ask Mrs. TFMITW--she'll vouch for that. Now, I need to figure out if any of my audience is there. This includes a random New Yorker who drinks sake at noon, a guy who has fallen asleep smelling his perfume-coated hand, one with a bun in the oven, and, um, I think that's it. Now, make like Jefe: "I'm still here, El Guapo!" Also, watch this video, too.
