Call Me Crazy

I managed to do NaBloPoMo, I completely forgot about NaBoMoReMo until it was impossible to catch up, and now I’m going to attempt Blog 365.

Yes, 365 as in “365 days” of the 366 day leap year.

Yes, I am insane.

Yes, I will fail.

But! It’ll provide SOME motivation to post.

Or, you know, I’ll get so depressed at missing a week or three that I’ll end up deleting this entire blog.

Okay, that won’t happen. I don’t get depressed.

So maybe just really discouraged.

Or maybe I’ll just post this in July: “Oh! Blog Three-Sixty-What? Oops.”

Dixieland

This is for the people who haven’t read this post about my favorite jazz band (currently anyway) and have thought to themselves, “selves, what is New Orleans Dixieland Jazz?”

Actually, I really just wanted to post this video, because it’s crazy awesome.

Never Jam Today

A month ago I posted a super confusing quote from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I’m now reading Through the Looking-Glass and came across this funny gem yesterday:

‘I’m sure I’ll take you with pleasure!’ the Queen said. ‘Twopence a week, and jam every other day.’

Alice couldn’t help laughing, as she said, ‘I don’t want you to hire ME–and I don’t care for jam.’

‘It’s very good jam,’ said the Queen.

‘Well, I don’t want any TO-DAY, at any rate.’

‘You couldn’t have it if you DID want it,’ the Queen said. ‘The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday–but never jam to-day.’

‘It MUST come sometimes to “jam to-day,”‘ Alice objected.

‘No, it can’t,’ said the Queen. ‘It’s jam every OTHER day: to-day isn’t any OTHER day, you know.’

‘I don’t understand you,’ said Alice. ‘It’s dreadfully confusing!’

‘That’s the effect of living backwards,’ the Queen said kindly: ‘it always makes one a little giddy at first–’

I really have nothing to say about this, other than it made me laugh… like this: hahaha!
