From the Notebook, 11/11

обзавеждане за спалниI’d put my vacuum away, but then where would I hang my jacket?

I rediscovered 50s on 5 on Sirius and learned something I should have already known, there is no such thing as too much Fats Domino.

It’s a simple way out in a song when it starts off slow and then picks up that they actually light a fuse and explode into the heavy part. Except that it’s awesome when Less Than Jake Does it. The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out/Screws Fall Out

When students uploaded their midterms online, they were able to leave a comment. Most chose to leave nothing, because, why would you? A few took the chance to say, ‘please be nice’ or ‘give me an A’. Seemed odd to me, maybe they feel comfortable doing that with this professor. I didn’t deduct any points. I graded them while watching the Phillies in the playoffs. When they were winning grades were higher, when losing, not so high. A lot of students didn’t do so well.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in the country who doesn’t like Bon Jovi. He’s playing at school in February and I’m apparently the only one who doesn’t want tickets. Other bands that are fairly popular that I don’t like: U2, Coldplay, Radiohead. Am I missing any?

On the other hand, if Jon Bovi was playing, I’d be first in line.

Song I shouldn’t like but I do of the week: Sara Bareilles – King Of Anything
