Links; Unsticky Snow

[ase]

norabombay has done a 13 song rap/hip-hop primer. I think this is awesome, since I have the sketchiest understanding of the genre, and as a member of the post-MTV generation, I really should be able to put names to Top 40 songs.

Found on YouTube: Kanye West's Katrina outburst, which amuses me way, way too much. YouTube is going to be my new evening timesink. Watch this space for wacky music videos.

Found elsewhere: Martian groundwater; praise is problematic, which will have every single person of my generation nodding along, because it's true, you only see criticism of the stuff worth trying to improve; a spellcheck poem (because affect is not effect, likewise GTP and GFP - take a close look at the most awesome plate ever); the Open WetWare wiki, which may become my new best friend.

Snow: stuck to grass, but not on the roads. I spent the day wavering between enjoying the spectacle and mild irritation at what it does to the spectacles perched on my nose. Today's snow also revealed my secret superpower: I called the college's early closing, to the hour, on request. Psychic powers? Intuitive understanding of how the school does business after four and a half years of experience? I need to get out of Dodge like now.

And now I am going to bed, because it's nearly midnight and I have to be up early tomorrow. Watch this space for "instant human: add caffeine" moments.
