So everybody (hopefully) knows about Kanye West's shameful moment of shame at the VMAs last week. Well apparently, he posted an apology on his blog right after that happened, you can read about it here. What is most ridiculous is that, not only did he mock her in the apology (talking about how he really likes her lyrics about "being a cheerleader, and she's in the bleachers" do we really think he was sincerely praising her there?) but the apology apparently was only up for...a day, if that. It's been removed from the blog.

An Epiphany

Well, I think I've figured out what exactly it was that drove Tom Cruise insane. I am almost positive it was filming "Interview with a Vampire," because that movie is so effing insane I don't even have words for it. Tom Cruise in it is...evil, crazy-go-nuts, and has so much hair. He probably has more hair than I've ever had in my whole entire life. Actually no, that much hair has probably grown from my head. But I can't compete with Antonio Banderas. It's so highly teased too. Why would vampires tease their hair? Antonio Banderas has a giant, woolly blanket of ratted hair. There's probably blood matted in it too. And...the vampire baby that is Kirsten Dunst. No, Stephanie Meyer did not make up hungry vampire babies. There are so many things that are just wrong and creepy and....sigh. Just don't watch it. Unless you ARE a vampire. In that case you would probably find it interesting and true to life.

I'm writing this as I watch the end of this movie, and there are so many things that I want to say about it, but I don't think you want to hear about Brad Pitt's crazy contacts, and the way that he burns all the other vampires ...alive? and cuts them to pieces with a giant scythe. How appropriate.

Done.

OMG.

To quote a very wise young man, "Why is this happening to me?! Is this real life???"

Please, visit this website to find out why I am SO concerned. And it's a very real, appalled and stunned kind of concerned. Not fake concern.

REALLY quickly because it is SO my bedtime; I was just looking at my i-tunes and it showed me the top albums right now, one of which is the jonas brothers new album? The title of this album is "Lines, Vines, and Trying Times." Do they really expect me to believe that ISN'T a drug/alcohol reference and allow my hypothetical (read: non-existent) children listen to that album? SERIOUSLY? Seriously. Good night.

Tennessee it is!

So I just filled out my acceptance form for UT-K. And I'm getting excited. I have a feeling the program is going to be different than my ideas and expectations, but I'm open to change. Also, I originally wanted to do a more library-focused program, but the more I think about it, the more a digital library/database focused program seems completely practical. More opportunities in the real world, and I may have the opportunity to intern at Oak Ridge national lab (think Manhattan project and enriching Uranium). I'm not sure though; I may end up doing something that combines the two and gives me maximum choices. But I'm really getting excited. Mostly to be done and on the other side, but also to be in school again. Not that it's been that long since I got out...but yeah. And the campus is beautiful! In downtown Knoxville on the banks of the Tennessee river, lots of deep red brick classical gothic style buildings, a nice effort of matching new construction to the old (not like BYU...however much I love it, none of the buildings really...well, go). and I'll be attending a school that has 1) an awesome football team (which will be a big change...sorry cougars, you haven't really cut it since the mid-80s.), and 2) a spring break! Me...on spring-break? Crazy, right?

My biggest concern right now is whether they will classify me as a resident for tuition purposes. Because right now they haven't. Which could be expensive. I'm sending in my appeal tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.
