Yay! I finally got the copy of the LSU Reveille Alicey sent to me nearly two weeks ago! The silly Service Center forgot to log it. Anyway, let the record show that Alicey is so cool there are no words to describe her coolness, and the paper should thank her on bended knee for all the awesomeness she contributes. She should get a raise, royal treatment, and a lawn chair, wind machine, sunlamp, lemonade, and a harem of well-built, Johnny Depp-resembling, oiled men to massage and/or fan her for when she’s sitting in the newspaper room, trying to think up her next comic. All hail Alicey! *kowtows*

Vote for Alicey and Maggie! Unfortunately, anonymous votes are disallowed this round, so alas, no spam.

And because I know you’ll all do the right thing and vote vote vote, here’s a present: Finally, a clip of Billy’s song with decent quality! We can actually hear his accent! And with video, oh lovely video! Oodles of Billy clips!

This clip is worth watching even for the two seconds with Andy at the beginning. And for Sala lifing Billy off the ground and combination bear hug/dancing. Just cuteness all around! (wait… that’s not Sala. Or is he? Who is that?)

*idly ponders if Roy Tolkien is grandson of Priscilla Tolkien or one of JRR’s other kids*

Hee, I love seeing my name in places. Saturday night, I saw Bubba Ho-Tep with Tricia, and I kept grinning whenever Elvis mentioned his wife. I love having an uncommon name!

And to avoid post spam, out of consideration for my syndicated readers, here’s a line-by-line dissection of OSC’s recent column. Take THAT!

*goes back to homework*

*snorks* Glancing over the Tengwar page again, it occurs to me that eleven would be written in the decimal method as “mine mine.” I’m totally having a Finding Nemo moment.

Not sure if I want to use the “mine mine” method, the 11th letter, or “minque.” I’ll decide in the morning, when my brain isn’t still jazzed out from rehearsal. :D

And the clips are beginning to surface! Painfully bad quality, but here‘s Billeh singing at the TORN party! And as always, if anyone has a better-quality file, be lovely and share!

In other news, today I take a leaf out of Dom’s tree and celebrate in my own subtle way (as far as indulging in a squealfest with Ari at the beginning of Java can be called subtle. The entire class was one fangirling (or in Ari’s case, fanboying) after another!). Tomorrow I’m writing it in Tengwar.

::sputters:: No way! RRRRRRRGH. IF CAROL MOSELEY-BRAUN IS GOING TO BE SPEAKING ON CAMPUS IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO ADVERTISE BEFOREHAND RATHER THAN JUST WRITING A LOVELY COLUMN ABOUT IT AFTER THE FACT. Dude, Saturday! I so could have gone! ::is incredibly cross::
