I'm still alive.
In the last two weeks I have witnessed the following things:
1.) two episodes of "Seventh Heaven"
2.) Squirrels having uncomfortable looking sex
Coincidence? I think not.
3.) several people intentionally drinking "Holiday Spice" Pepsi. (Including myself) Why not just drink some Glade cinnamon room spray, or snort some wax drippings from a scented Christmas candle?
Also
I'm trying to make a mix cd for 32 9th graders (Honors English-- us 10 years ago) and cannot find ONE excellent song from "Pinkerton" that doesn't have something naughty in it. But the blue album will be making an appearance.
I am an educator, and teaching 9th graders about the real Weezer is indeed part of my duty. Also, teaching them about major works of literature, when to capitalize, etc.,
Here is the proposed song list:
867-5309 (Jenny) by Tommy Tutone
Songs to listen to when you’re bummed
