Art History is where the big money is.

Yeah, I'm having those "why didn't I major in Econ" regrets again. I think that this was brought on by recent attempts to revise my resume. Trying to somehow legitimize my experiences as a tour guide at the Salem "Witch House" and write sentences such as "effectively managed admissions"...well, it's kinda sad.

As is already clear, I suspect, I don't have too much to write about today, but I felt the need to post since I've apparently peer pressured Ed and Nathan into tending to their own blogs.

Things to share with you all...Well, first of all, apparently a Welsh soccer fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating Britain (see article). I wonder if he feels like that was a mistake or not, because, really, how awesome would it be if he was just like "yeah, no regrets - every time I see my junk (or lack therof) I'm reminded of how awesome that game was."

Also, stereogum posted a link to a pretty amazing video today. It's a fat kid singing along to "Dragostea Din Tei," this song which kind of followed me around in Italy. I am so glad that I've never been recorded doing shit like this cause, man, I do love drunkenly lip synching to music. I'm sure that my rendition of "The Final Countdown" would make this kid look like Justin Timberlake.



These days I'm also pissed off that Marcel Dzama designed the cover for the next Beck album. I like Marcel Dzama so very much, and I'm so amazingly ambivalent towards Beck. Equally unsettling, you can apparently buy a Marcel Dzama book from Walmart. I'd feel bad about that except that, wow, $29 is a really good deal for an art book.

Anyway, you should also check out this, the best goddamn ad ever made. Yep. Found it.



Tomorrow for my class, "Cyberculture," I'm going to have to get kids to answer a questionnaire about "gaming" (oh how I hate that fucking word). I expect to find out that more Swatties than I could ever imagine are frequent Everquest players. As if I'm not disillusioned enough about this place already.
