Canto XXIII

A much less crazy week this time around. Finished up the last of the grading I need to do this term, so now my laptop is all my own. I've got one more assignment to finish up, and then I'm free until January! Of course, now I need to start actually doing some kind of research, so I'm not so much free and much as moving from one kind of indentured serviture to another. But while all of this may be exciting, our neighbors have decided to put up their "christmas decorations". I can only put that in quotes because does this:

look festive to you? I keep thinking about pinning a note to him in the middle of the night that says "Piggy drove me to it" or "No funeral". It's very creepy. They lynched Kermit the Frog! Or the world's greatest frog had problems that never seemed to surface during his show. The other day as I walked into work, he was slowly twisting in the wind and followed me with his lifeless eyes as I walked past. Why, Kermit, why?!? And now I feel the need to listen to the Rainbow Connection... Elliot Smith, he is not.

In other news my dad is in town for the family Christmas party. All the brothers and sisters together again. I'm sure Grandma will be very happy. But for me, it's back to my homework. So close to freedom. Don't the rest of you miss school?

WTF? Kermit, say it ain't so!

See, if it was Santa, the reindeer, and a bunch of elves all strung up outside, that would be an awesome "fuck christmas" sort of anti-decoration. It would be dark and festive.
But kermit? No. No, I'm sorry, that's not cool. If you don't like Kermit the Frog, then there's something deeply and hideously wrong with you as a human being. Hanging Kermit is kind of like expressing a desire to kill rainbows or shit on kittens. Bastards!

Why is Kermit in a housecoat? I think suicide is more likely - he obviously could not bear a single day more as a housefrau.

Also, in answer to your final question: no. Not even a little.

So I'm just finding out now that my brother in law has a blog? Y'all SUCK. :P

Poor Kermie. When the river meets the sea, indeed.
