I'd like to turn to a type of song that people like myself find ourselves subjected to with increasing frequency as time goes on, and that is the college alma mater. You'll find yourself at a reunion of grads, and old undergrads, and eh... somebody will start croaking out one of these things and everyone will gradually join in -- each in his own key, of course -- until the place is just soggy with nostalgia. Well, a typical such song might be called Bright College Days, and might go like this. Bright college days, O carefree days that fly, To thee we sing with our glasses raised on high. Let's drink a toast as each of us recalls Ivy-covered professors in ivy-covered halls. Turn on the spigot, pour the beer and swig it, and gaudeamus igit-ur. Here's to parties we tossed, To the games that we lost, We shall claim that we won them some day. To the girls young and sweet, To the spacious back seat of our beat up Chevrolet.

You know that it's been quite the week when a child has made sick on herself and you don't even bat an eyelash.

I'm late to the party, but that seems to be my usual style. I've always been slow when it comes to these sort of things. My name is Samuel Rosenblum, and I am one of the graduate students in the (very good) zoology program here at Montenegro University. I wager some of you have been in a few biology classes that I have TA'd for over the years. I will now freely admit that I spent a good chunk of those lectures playing Zoo Tycoon on my laptop. See how far academia will take you, children?

[...] I'm not very good at this nor am I going to pretend to be. My weekend plans being formalized, I am simply waiting for this day to end. One can only sit through so many lectures before it gets unbearable.

Never thought I'd say it, but I think I'm legitimately tired of hearing students cry. I have no idea how half of these kids manage getting outside in the morning if all it takes is a little workout and liberal constructive criticism to get them bawling like infants all over my desk.

Weakness is understandable. Not being able to get over your weaknesses when you need to is quite another. At least hold yourself together until you get home, for fuck's sake.

[ THIS IS A VIDEO POST.

Archer is sitting in her bed, and a big ass piano is sitting in front of her. The only reason her face is visible is because she wants the whole piano to be visible as well.

And she clears her throat.
]

I bought an electronic piano.

Duh.

[ A moment to roll her eyes and shake off the nerves. ]

So, thing is, I need to test this bad boy and I need people to tell me whether the sound is off or not. And yes I did test it before buying, but second opinions are always good. Just, and I say this in the humblest possible way...don't come telling me I'm showing off.

Because I am going to show off. That's the whole point of testing something right? Pull something pretty cool with it and see if it works. You're all warned and I don't want people calling me a show off, fuck that. Don't listen if it's going to make you throw a fit about it.

[ With a quick stretch she cracks her fingers. The piano is flat enough so that the video allows a clear view of the keys, and Archer's fingers once she starts playing.

And then she starts playing.

Her choice of song might come as weird to some, or rather, to everyone, but up until that moment the chances of someone listening to her piano playing is pretty slim, as in "she really doesn't play around people"; the fact she is pulling some awesome Mozart in front of everyone is her honest attempt to get some critic from the musical oriented people.

And showing off a bit.

All in all, she looks like she's having a lot of fun, body following the fingers from one side to the other, shoulders and head lowering and rising in accordance to the tune, and a small smile appearing here and there. Around seven minutes later, the song ends, and Archer drops her hands to the sides; she's breathing a bit fast, taken by the emotion of the song, but soon after turns back to the camera, as remembering it was there all the time. She's blushing a bit.
]

Yeah so, I think it sounds alright. Thoughts?

[ And she kills the feed. ]

[THAT UNNAMED BAND OF HERS]

And we still lack a bassist. This sucks.

[Mena]

So I have a favor to ask you.

[Hel]

'Sup?
