make it happen
I have been very busy at work the last couple of days. Let's just say you'll end up with twice as much work to do with half the efficacy if you wait until the last minute to market an event. Not my event, mind you, and the delay was not of my doing. Let's just say a Ph.D. does not an event planner make, and it was my fatal mistake to assume that a specialist has the same organizational, event planning, and marketing skills as an experienced homo. I do kick myself in the head for not assuming control of various aspects of this event earlier in the game. I keep forgetting I've been organizing events since high school, and gosh darn it, I'm good at it. And not everyone knows how to do this sort of stuff. Things happen when you make them happen. That's what Type-A Queers like me are for. While the attendance was not what it could have been, I was surprised at how many people did show up. I am very mentally tired right now - I produced a lot of stuff, and made many things happen, but it takes energy. One more day to go this week.
This guy will make you laugh. Better than American Idol.

I'm afraid for mankind. That was scary. What possesses people to tape themselves doing ridiculous things?
Maybe I'm too cynical?

In regards to that guy lipsynching to that video clip....you seem to forget that we have spent many an evening at the cha cha palace, and that guy looks a lot like you on the dance floor at 3:00am!

So what is that song anyway???

Dragostea din tai by O-zone. They are a Moldovan group who won Eurovision last year? with that song.
If I am remembering my Moldovan Peace Corps friends correctly it means, "I love you."
I have the CD and I love it.

Mmm yes that one. You should check this out: Bears lypsynching like professionals
As for a Phd as a planner? Oh you knew better, you were just giving him a chance to impress you. I don't remember any of my college professors being good organizers, well except the guy who kept going off his meds.

Love in the Lime Tree?
Ok I've learned more than I wanted too - apparently this song came and went last year in Europe. Its old news. And apparently the band may have broken up already??
Its a Moldovian/Romanian boy band -- here is the original video (somewhat homoerotic in places...)
