In which I divulge the extent of my nerdy-ness...be very afraid.

In honor of my impending school-mandated quarantine, where-in I am restricted to the study of all things educational and no fun, unless you count sleep as fun. (And I do.) I thought I would share a glimpse of how nerdtastic I really can be. You've had your suspicions, but I don't think you realize how ridiculous I can be. Here goes:

Does anyone watch the TV show Glee? High school hijinks, set to showtunes and pop music, what's not to love? Recently, a new character has thickened the plot of Glee. For those of you who do watch, it's Blaine, Kurt's new crush, who sings with the Warblers. (side note: love their "Baby it's Cold Outside"!) Oh, I haven't even scratched the surface of my pocket-protecting society. Do you ever have that feeling that you've seen such-and-such actor somewhere before and it's killing you, because you can't remember where? That's the feeling I had with Blaine, or Darren Criss (the actor).

I figured out how I knew him. I think you should respect that I am willing to shatter my cool kid rep to share this with you.

When he was in college, he and some friends wrote and produced a musical that became a YouTube phenomenon. Meaning that they had millions of viewers. So maybe most of these viewers were teenage girls. And me.

That's him. Harry Potter. The musical version. Still want to admit you know me?

There's a sequel. Yep. I know. I should get outside, breathe some fresh air more often. It's not even that I've merely seen them. I'm not the only person entertained by the randomness of YouTube. But I actually think they're kind of funny. Not accurate, sometimes over the top, but you can tell they're fans of the books, and gosh darnit, I like it. I definitely wasn't that talented in college. Or now.

I can say I remember Darren Criss when he was covering Disney songs in his dorm room.

Some people find the super rad new music. I find musicals based on children's books. Hm. I won't drop out of school to become a talent agent. But I do feel better admitting my inner geek shines brightly. I will now go buy some skinny jeans, get an asymmetrical haircut and read Nietzsche outside an indy bookstore to prove that I am cooler than you. And I will never admit to any knowledge of this post.

Oh Jimmy and Justin, how I love thee

These guys. I think they would be fun to go have a beer with.

Bwahahaha.

Deliciously, absurdly, weirdly, awesome.

Who doesn't love a good ukulele orchestra?

A little cautionary tale for your Tuesday evening.

SO I have nothing new to report on lately. I do, just having problems with time management, you understand. Instead I will distract you with this video that a guy I went to college with made. Check him out here, he's hilarious. Sensity is the name his niece gave her doll.

pants.

Does anyone watch American Idol? It's that one show that I don't admit I watch, well that and one that I won't tell, I have to maintain a scrap of dignity. Anyway, If you saw last week's Atlanta audition you saw this shenanigan:

Normally, these things are just silly, people's pleas for attention, and I didn't really think anything of it,

let the cute little man have his fun. But apparently he was part of the civil rights movement and a student

of Dr. King. Huh. And now he's all over the internet of course, singing about pants. But what I like are

that people are actually covering his song, including this guy, a former contestant on the show:

Not too bad.

What a strange, strange world. I think I'll stick to reading, TV is messing with my mind.

making this blog useful

I think that my blog should be useful, you should come away with new knowledge, things you may not think to ask. I don't want to just waste cyberspace, no! So in the spirit of my new conviction, here you go:

reading, writing, arithmetic, too much homework...

So I am back in school, which means full-time classes and full-time working. Oh, and full-time homework.

My brain is mushy and I'm trying to practice good time management by staying on top of assignments. But

this video shows what it's really like.

This guy's got the right idea.

That's the only way to eat sandwiches.

Is it bad that I enjoyed this more than the original movie?
