So my friends and I make giant buckets of things.

Edible things, the sum of which has been Jello and pudding so far. We have a 5 gallon bucket that we use to make these things, so we typically amount to about 4 and half gallons of whatever it is that we are making. We have, for now, decided against the 5 gallon bucket of Ramen, since people would probably die from the sodium. We are considering Kool-Aid. Today we had to throw out the pudding, even though there was about 3.5 gallons left. What I like is that we didn't care, because we didn't make a 5 gallon bucket of pudding to eat. We made a 5 gallon bucket of pudding for the sake of making a 5 gallon bucket of pudding. It was the same case with the Jello, although we ate all of the first bucket. The second bucket, we made so Chad could put goggles on and submerge his head entirely in Jello. Trust me when I say that there are not many things funnier than hearing a young man yell the phrase "I'm going to Disneyworld!" with his head immersed in Jello. I am very happy that my friends and I do this sort of thing just for the sake of fun. People need to throw away money, time, and dignity for the sake of fun once in a while. It's so important.

On the subject of fun, you know what's not fun? A broken computer. As I said in my last blog, my Macbook's fans are on the fritz, and the thing is just getting too old. Sometimes when I log in, the keyboard will stop working for no reason. All I need to do is restart and it works fine again, but it's such a pain in the butt, especially since this is the week before finals week for my college. When I get home, it needs to be put to bed and replaced.

So you know what I like? Miley Cyrus' music video for "Fly On The Wall." It's very tasteful. It's got a definite Thriller-inspired thing going on, and the dancing she does is great. What I love about the choreography is that it is done with an emphasis on talent, not sexuality, which I like a lot. When she's dancing, she comes off not as someone being sold as a sex object, but as a girl who is just a really good dancer. It's a step away from the typical pop video nowadays, and I like it a lot. Good going.

I think that's pretty much all for now.
