I felt I should share something fun: the scientific name for the "black rat" (aka the rat that helped spread the Black Plague and almost completely demolish the European population in the 12th century) is ratus ratus. Made me laugh.
Back to work!

Once Again, Long Time, No Talk
So I survived finals... yay? I'm now back home, sitting in my living room listening to the radio with the sliding glass door open, letting the breeze in. It is so nice to be back home and to not have to worry about how badly I need to do work or how i need to get up super early--though, today I did wake up around 6:58 for some ungodly reason. I did go back to sleep though--no need to worry about my sanity.
I'll probably do some longer posting later, but I wanted to get in a quick Music Monday in before I have to go get dressed and ready for hanging out with friends and Hana Tokyo and "Star Trek."
Today's Music Monday features Cobra Starship. My mom says they sound like the Backstreet Boys. If they do, they are much, much more "explicit" than the veiled innuendos of the Backstreet Boys. Just sayin'. Personal favorites of mine include: "Guilty Pleasure," "Bring It," and "The City is at War." They have a new CD coming out in August, I believe. They're collaborating with Leighton Meester (aka Blair Waldorf of "Gossip Girl" fame).
Okay. Must go get ready now.

Long Time, No Talk
I'm in the middle of studying for finals, that's why there has been a distinct lull in posts. In fact, this post is going to be extremely short. How about some links to some music in lieu of a Music Monday?
Mk. So. Say what you want about the whole "Twilight" phenomenon, but it has introduced me to some great music. Granted, a lot of it is kind of whiny, emo music, but, alas, it's still great.
Jack's Mannequin. It was hard to choose just one song so I highly suggest you look them up and listen to all of their stuff.
Blue October is the other good band that I discovered through "Twilight" and Stephenie Meyer. "Sound of Pulling Heaven Down" is one of my favorite songs by them (followed closely by "My Never" and "Jump Rope").
Hokay. I must get back to making flash cards and writing papers. Happy Mother's Day!
love,
m
