The Daily News
1 What a day. Bet they sold a LOTTA Pepsi yesterday.
2 Amazing, all of it.
3 AND the Sharks won!
4 Obamamania has struck.
5 I heard some guy singing a song he called "Oh Bama" to the tune of "Oh Donna" by Ritchie Valens.
6 I heard some Jesus freaks singing:
Obama hey Bama, Bama Bama O Bama hey Bama O Bama,Hey Barack Barack
get us out of Iraq Bama O Bama hey Superstar!to the tune of Hosanna from Jesus Christ Superstar.
7 All right I made that up.
8 Still, it really got exciting watching them go into seventeen-hundred different ballrooms and dance to Etta James' At Last a thousand times.
9 Who did the programming for THAT?
10 Didn't matter.
11 Great moment.
12 Wish I coulda captured it a little better on the DN, but grades are due today.
13 I'm officially doing an "all-nighter".
14 I gave these bums WAY too much homework this year and they all double-crossed me and DID it!
15 So I had to take a break. Been trying to hit this deadline for three weeks now and it's one of those jobs that is like Autumn leaves. As soon as you're finished a bunch more swoop down on you.
16 That's directly from Moliere, by the way. Imaginary Invalid, a classic. The lead character complained of everything, but used that analogy when talking about bills.
17 I also love the teacher who came up to me about a week into working at the chill, threw a Cheshire cat smile my way and said, "Are you up to your ears in alligators?"
18 Uh...
19 Anyway, I'm clearly into an "all-nighter". It wasn't really even a lack of planning, more like a marathon race and the finish line is in sight.
20 For the record, I've NEVER really done an "all-nighter". I always thought people who did that were just doing the 2000's brag rag.
21 Evidently it's pandemic among the college set, of which I am now officially a part.
22 I'm in college for one week and already doing this.
23 Anyway, I'd better get back to it. I have to calculate 3000 more little squares, clean it all up, check the accuracy, and THEN plan block classes, which begin at 8:15. I will have had no sleep.
24 Wish me luck, youse guys.
25 I appreciate what you "all-nighter" sorts have gone through. I do get the afternoon off, so that's why I'm not minding, but I still think it's a WAY stupid way to approach things.
26 First one ever. And the irony is, I actually have been working morning, noon and night to hit this deadline.
27 Yesterday I cut my nose off in the shower.
28 It's okay. It just rolled around and sneezed now and again.
29 It popped right back on, and blended well with my bloodshot eyes.
30 I'm thinking of taking up sniffing glue.
31 Nah.
32 It'd just keep me up.
33 See ya.
34 Peace.
