Slow month.

Jump to Comments Not ever that much going on in the F-E-Bizzle, it seems to me. I think the worst part about this month is that it’s shorter than all the others, so it always feels to me as if it should be over sooner. Of course, it’s only 72 hours shorter, so this feeling is misguided, and leads to me wondering why the heck it’s taking so long for it to be March.

Anyhow, it snowed today. It was those big, 34Ëš snowflakes that turn into puddles as soon as they hit the warm ground. I love the mix of reactions people have here — I had on my raincoat, for example, as other people were bundled up and making half-hearted snow cancellation predictions. I mean, it wasn’t even enough to create much slush on my windscreen, but it was still rather pretty, except for the requisite sidewalk flooding associated with all precipitation here at (otherwise) fabulous Harding University.

Spanish was okay. I’m not terribly interested in the subject of the class — Latin American business. I do enjoy Conley’s anecdotes, even though they seem as if they’re becoming a bit dated with recent normalizations of trading practices and the further development of the Western Hemisphere’s economies. Just because it’s the Global South doesn’t mean it’s the Global Dirty Dirty South. You know, it can just be like Virginia, or Tennessee.

Elrod let us out of class tewnty minutes into it, as he had to skip town later on. But not before showing me and another dude in class two most excellent video clips — Nacho Libre and Al Sharpton owning Bill O’Reilly on the later’s show. And now, your moment of hip-hop:
Respected highly– HI MISTER O’REILLY,
Hope all is well, kiss the plantiff and the wifey!
Drove through the window, the industry super-sized me,
Now the girls see me and a river’s what they cry me.
I’m on the rise, so many people despise me,
Got party ammunition for those tryin’ to surprise me. (surprise!)
It’s a celebration, and everyone should invite me,
Roll with the crew or meet the bottom of our Nikes.
Explorer like Dora, these swipers can’t swipe me,
My whole aura’s so mean in my white tee.
Nobody light-skinned’s been reppin’ harder since Ice-T,
You disagree, take the Tyson approach and bite me!

Oh, also, Cochran’s class was cancelled so pretty boring afternoon in which I took a nap. I think I’m going to go eat an orange now.
