I am on campus, and somewhere in the building, someone is playing really cheery polka-y Christmas music. Loudly. Two songs, again and again and again. I think I might go insane. Or home.
Except that last night my upstairs neighbor's two dogs barked for MORE THAN AN HOUR while I was trying to do some reading for class. Yes, I timed them. And yelled, "Shut yer dogs up!" at the ceiling.
Yesterday while I was getting ready for school I had these two songs in my head:
1) "Zero population," from that monstrosity, "Saturday's Warrior"
2) "I'm an ordinary man," from "My Fair Lady"
So yes, I was stuck with combinations like, "She'll have a large bognarian [??] mother, with a voice that shatters glass" and "zero population is the answer my friend, without it, the rest of us are doomed!"
I have no explanation for that.
I also had one of those between-hitting-the-snooze-button-every-9-minutes dreams in which Ron told me that Chad was leaving the next day to move to Columbia to play soccer. I was not surprised that his mad soccer skillz would allow him to do that, merely sad that I wouldn't get to see him before he left.
AND - I have plane tickets - I'll be heading back to the land of my family on 17 Dec, and I will be there for a WHOLE MONTH!!
So please, Chad, or anyone else, don't move to Columbia before I get to see you.

You really make me laugh.
I thought it was "barbarian mother" after singing it to myself just now but then I looked it up and it's actually "wagnarian mother." Which makes perfect sense. I don't think I'd like a large Wagnarian mother since I really don't like Wagner. But I don't think you would either, what with all the noise issues you seem to be having.
Good luck getting anything done!!
You're a calm and gentle man
Who never spoke above a hush.
All at once you're using language
That would make a *sailor* blush!
Oh great. Now I have Zero Population stuck in my head too! Thanks Margaret! :P
