The Monday (2.7.11)

I've chosen to start this week off with some Twain rather than Rush, so here you go:

“The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.” - Mark Twain

Start your week off with a laugh, and make sure you laugh a bit each day. As a scoundrel once said, "Laugh it up fuzzball." In that vein, here's my attempt to make you laugh, or at least smile here on this Monday, "Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it)". Just so you know, I was crying with tears of happiness mixed with sadness at this girl's attempt to tell the story of the original trilogy.

Get your week on.

The Monday (01.24.11)

In case you haven't heard, I've declared that all Mondays shall henceforth be known as Tom Sawyer Mondays. Why? Well, firstly it's because I have that kind of power. Secondly, I always thought that the lyrics to Rush's "Tom Sawyer" started with "A Monday warrior", but in actuality it is "A modern day warrior". So that's the reason. What should you expect? Simple. I'll post a Rush song in video form here, with lyrics. Or, I'll post a Mark Twain quote. See what I did there? Because Mark Twain wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer...okay so that was a bad joke, but I'll still be doing that anyway. These will be just short, quick posts to start your work/school/whatever week off just right.
