NO MORE TEACHERS, NO MORE BOOKS
School started today, or maybe it was yesterday. I am looking forward to a good year as a "House"master. For the uninitiated, our "House" system is similar to those at Cambridge, only their rooms are not contained by white, cinder-blocked walls. It's also a lot like (sigh) HARRY POTTER.
My house is called Athanasius. Here's a picture of the 3rd Century Saint we're named after:
If you are looking to become a Satellite fan of Athanasius, I can give you a t-shirt. Or you can support us by shouting out our House phrase: "Athanasius Contra Mundum!" (Which means, Athanasius Against The World!" Or you can recite our House Chant, which I made up, and I'm pretty proud of, which is:
WHO-ANASIUS ARE-ANASIUS WE-ANASIUS? ATH-ANASIUS! ATHANASIUS CONTRA MUNDUM! HOO-RAA!
(The "HOO-RAA!" was not my idea. Apparently, someone in my house really liked the movie JARHEAD.)
Have you guys seen "Alby The Racist Dragon" from FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS yet?
Here's footage of Daniel Johnston from the show I saw last week.
Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Wilco in preparation for their September 13th concert in Southhaven. SKY BLUE SKY just gets better with each listen. I made a Wilco mix tape for a friend and wrote, for all practical purposes, a paper about Wilco. I might publish it on the blog soon.
