So it seems that Orangeduck's 2011/2012 American Jamboree (you have those down in the States, right? Jamborees? Or maybe hoedowns? Hootenannys?... hootenanni? Anyway.) will continue even further west across the country. Here's how it's looking right now:

The typical tourist attractions: Pike Place Market, the Seattle underground tour, but then there's Alki beach, Jimi Hendrix's grave (which is technically in Renton) and Bruce and Brandon Lee's grave at Lakeview cemetery in Seattle. Umm......I love this city, so much to do

So apparently I'm teaching a class this summer at my university. This is the first time I've ever taught a course, and the enrollment is 150. Z. O. M. G. I'm going through a continuous cycle of excitement, terror, denial, and anticipation. That could just be caused, however, by the alarming amount of caffeine I've put in my system as I attempt to mark 53...

Ugh, Nicki Minaj, I just don't like you. I mean, what is that? I listened to your album, every single track. Never again.

Also, I love me some of this:

Hello new friend! Sweet tunes you've posted here. I have to say I've never actually heard anything of Nicki Minaj, other than her verse on Kanye West's Monster. Which was fucking wicked.

After two years of coursework, a long (long) semester-and-a-bit of studying, I am now ABD. Now all that's left is that pesky dissertation.

Tonight I am going to a party that is featuring an indoor bouncy castle. I plan on being hungover and pretty badly bruised tomorrow as a result.

How are you?

Don't Do What Donny Don't Does!

DONNY DON'T: E-mail your ex. There is no good that can come from such an action.

DONNY DON'T: Look at the CVs of people who are more successful than you. It serves no purpose and will just make you feel bad.

DONNY DON'T: Leave your bike out in the rain without covering the seat. Cause then you have to...
