Strange Evenings with a Night Off...

...waking up with lights off      ?

Salut ma petite. La tête était toujours confusé, c'est le chaos. j'ai aucune idée si ma grammaire ou la langue est vraiment correcte, mais tu comprends.

Let me start this story off with setting the scene. Sunday, Andrew left. Monday, I was supposed to be in my last hardcore day of orientation and was supposed to do a sort of "microteach" on some sort of lesson - I assume to prove that I understood 6 days worth of teaching orientation. So Sunday was a tad more on the difficult side, n'est-ce pas? Getting ready for microteach, Andrew leaves forever, I had to work on Angie's logo, it was cray.

Anyhow, Russ mentions Two Keys because Shane and a bunch of people were there. I was all about some Two Keys after that kind of day. By the time we get there, those that were there had definitely started on - I think I heard this correctly - $1 beers. We got things to drink, everyone was kind of just hanging out, it was great. Well then, some song comes on that must have reminded a couple of the boys - Shane and Russ in that grouping - of something I have heard Russ say before..."Gangnam Style" - this weird song that Andrew and Russ always kind of sang around that sounded like "open condom style". So Shane starts dancing at some sorority girls like the guy in the video, I thought it was hilarious, whatever. 

Still hadn't heard the song or seen the video they were referencing. THEN TODAY I get on my google reader for the first time in god knows how long and I see this:

An article about this song?? STRANGE. Right? Maybe? Well, I think it's strange. Anyway, the article is pretty interesting. Talks about how this little gem got to be so popular and how it's a critique of consumerist culture. DEEP RIGHT.

Well, I hope you wake up to this video.
