Who is blasting Elvis’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”?
That is not really a blast-worthy song, in my book.

HAHA. This clip will never get old. I love the shocked expression on the other newscaster’s face.
I wish I had an electric blanket.

Philly on 4/30. Very much want to go. Very, very much.
Dear Syracuse Basketball,
Please do not lose to DePaul. That would be super embarrassing.
Love,
Me
Update: Um thank God. It should not have been so close.
WIRED
I am full of energy and I have no idea why.
I wish I had planned on working out at lunch today because then I would probably not feel so crazy.
I wish I had an office with a door I could close so I could just do jumping jacks until my energy levels were back to normal.
I do not want to be here for another hour and a half. I cannot focus on anything. AHH NEED TO GET OUTSIDE AND RUN AROUND OR...
I seem to hate everyone and everything I see these days. Is this normal? - C.M.,...

My mom always says that people/animals start acting weird around the full moon. Nermal WAS being extra obnoxious last night (nonstop meowing!) so perhaps there is some truth to this.

faux research request
I was complaining about how everyone and their mom seems to need a billion things researched within the next few days, so Rebecca sent me this email.
Hi Wayne! I just have a few things I need by early next week, if you can send these back in a few days that would be great. I need to know: —A step-by-step tutorial on how to create a hairbow made entirely out of your own hair —How to...

“Someone, who we would venture to suggest is a genius, has been calling in to Christian TV stations to tell them about a spiritual journey from West Philadelphia, where he was born and raised, via Bel Air, to God.”

It smells like a homeless person is living in our hallway.

I hate filling out these annual self-assessments.
I am a kickass worker, but I can’t word it quite that way…

Me: Hello?
Carly: Hi, are you home?
Me: Yes.
Carly: Okay, can I come use your bathroom?

YES! Bring in The Grenade for Season 2. I think that is the best idea ever. She “doesn’t even look Italian!” And, she seems super obnoxious and would not fit in at all. Perfect!

Trying this tonight. I’m glad I learned it’s a good idea to research the bar’s beer list before you go out so you have some idea of what you want/what is good.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night, and I distinctly remember thinking, “There should be a version of Purple Rain on Ice. Like Disney on Ice. But with Prince.”
I thought this was the best idea. I considered getting up to write it down, but I figured, “This is the best idea ever. There’s no way I will forget it.” And look, I didn’t.

‘Cuse #4! Vs. #7/#11 Georgetown tonight. Also, check out how there are six Big East teams in the top 25. Deammm.
best pun of all time
I had a discussion this morning about puns and how awesome they are, which reminded me of the best pun I ever made. I will now immortalize it on my blog:
It was the spring semester of 2008, and my friends and I were walking down to M-Street to go to the bars. There was a lunar eclipse that night, and everyone and their mom was staring out the windows of the buildings we passed, looking up at the...
