Nostalgic for Nostalgia

Having fun is too much work.

I spent a very lazy day recovering from the first night of Halloween events.  Ignoring my massive pile of homework I wasted time cruising the internet and watching Kim Possible on youtube.  

Whilst searching the mythical web of imdb I discovered something curious.  Michael Cera was the voice of the main character's younger brother on the cartoon Braceface! If you think Cera's voice is high now, listen to the pubescent squeak it was before he went through puberty.

He appears around the 4:00 minute mark in this random episode I came across.  Enjoy this blast from the past. 

Palinodes

Halloweekend is finally here! I've been hosting a Halloween Film Festival rented from the Milwaukee Public Library and Marquette's library.  So far I've shown Young Frankenstien, Sleepy Hollow and The Wicker Man (1973). Movies and Spiked Apple Cider will continue throughout the weekend!


Poetry has been enthralling me lately in my class called "Young Americans".  I love this famous snippet from humorist and poet Ogden Nash,

       "Candy

        Is dandy

        But liquor

         Is quicker."   

Beware, Nash did publish a palinode on the subject later on,

"Nothing makes me sicker

than liquor

and candy

is too expandy"

Cinnaberry

I've become an honorary Ginger and dyed my hair yesterday.  I usually use Clairol Semi Permanent Spiced Tea, but was unable to find it and settled on Cinnaberry.  The color has an elusive purple tone to it, and is deliciously vivid. This was taken at the lovely Milwaukee Public Library.

Despite popular opinion, I did keep my soul.

Oh, Milwaukee

I've been on a hiatus for awhile. But, the wait is over! I'm back at school at Marquette with a fresh new look, and a new job.  I spend my days doing homework and traveling around the city.  

Look at this gem I found on the corner of 17th and Wisconsin.
