WAG - Sneaking in Songs
It's Good Friday - both the holiday and the celebrated end of the work week.
Yeah...!
I'm looking forward to crashing in K.C. this weekend with my grandparents. I expect to do a bit of shopping and snarfing easter candy, but I mainly plan to spend my time reading, writing, and sleeping.
Of course, I've got to get through classes first.
You know it's going to be an interesting day when you start it off by being caught singing along with Chris Isaak to "Somebody's Crying."
It was on a high part too... Not pretty.
At home, the only time I really ever sang was in the shower (good aucustics and privacy - as long as one remembered to lock the door).
In college, however, though no one will come to your stall to shut you up, solos in the shower are strongly discouraged.
I guess that's yet another reason to look forward to my own bathroom next year.
Until then, I'll have to time my duets better.
Either way, I'm still free to whistle.
During all the downpours yesterday, I was caught without a raincoat or umbrella while heading back to Hatch. Knowing I was going to be soaked no matter what, I took an easy pace.
Near the J-School I noticed a few black lightposts that appeared to be pulled straight from the movie Singing in the Rain.
Tuesday, I had joking left a post on my sister's website concerning my plans for stormy weather and re-enacting a scene from the movie.
I knew there were lost of light posts on campus, but I hadn't recalled that the ones near the J-School were of the old, ornate iron design.
Soaked, but faced with the perfect opportunity, I made a quick twirl around the pole - which must have looked interesting to the person in the parcked car nearby.
I was slighty embarassed, but nevertheless tickled as I walked away. With no police officer to interupt my splashing, and no unused umbrella to offer to a curious bystander, I simply moved on, quietly whistling the bars to the theme.
Doot du du DO du du Doot du du DO du du Doot du du DO du du Doot du du DO du du doo....
