Happy Monday everybody. I’d like to start out today by wishing very a Happy Birthday to my bro Prince Jazzbo and one to Kodiak Kate as well. Be sure to wish them each one as well.

Oh, I forgot to mention yesterday that the Baggies totally crushed QPR on Saturday. Boing! Boing!

It is cold in my office this morning. But, it is warm everywhere else in the house. And I don’t want to break out the space heater quite yet because it is supposed to get back up to like 28°C (82°F) later this week. The weather just needs to get on with it.

In other exciting news, I finished my first leadership course yesterday! Hooray! And this is my last week of social psychology. I need to go today to get signed up for the next 8 week leadership course. I also need to handle these 3 “computer literacy” credits today. By handle, I mean test out of the classes. And registration for Spring starts October 26. And my application for graduation is due December 16. How insane is that? I have until December 16 to decide whether or not I want to walk at graduation. Since the lady at the Records desk already ruined the magic of diplomas for me, by printing my Associate’s degree out on her computer right in front of me, I am considering walking. I don’t know, though. It seems silly for me to have gone to school for 6 years for “biology”, meaning that I took whatever I wanted, and then as soon as someone wants me to have a degree for my work, I get the one that I’m closest to getting. I think of graduation as the big party for all of your hard work and dedication to your field of study. I came to college to learn. And I plan on going back to continue learning. So, why should I walk? I don’t know. It is a bit too early in the morning to be having such a serious conversation with myself. Moving on.

So, my amazingly awesome Math girlfriend ViHart has added another video about hexaflexagons. Now with more flexing!

Hexaflexagons are insane. With the folding. And the spinning. And the inverting.

Also, They Might Be Giants has been on my mind a lot lately. It happens from time to time. This time around it started with my desire to see Gigantic, the documentary about TMBG (not the John Goodman movie), again. This:

So, I got it. And I watched it. Man it’s good. And then there was a reference to one of my favorite lyrics hidden in “Ready Player One” which made me squee a little bit. And all day yesterday, this song was in my head:

Which subsequently made me dance like John Linnell in the video. It was pretty funny. Especially considering that the song was playing in my head and no one else could hear it, so no one knew why I would just randomly go spastic. Story of my life.

Alright, well I’ve got stuff to do before class, so I’ma hit the road. Have a great day. More soon. ~SC
