Since my last post, on the first day of my last winter break from school - significant since this is the last day of my last winter break - I have become a You Tube Whore. I hadn’t really caught on to the phenom prior to this past December and well, I’d say I spend a good half hour a day at least, looking at various music video, comedy skits, miscellaneous stuff that other blogs reference. Usually it’s just mindless crap, a habit I’ll certainly have to ween myself of before beginning my bar study. However, until then, I will point out that I learned something about tampons today that I did not know before: when they become engorged, they apparently come apart into two wings to help absorb moisture. I can honestly say I hadn’t given it much thought before, but now I know.
How did I come across a tampon insertion video on You Tube? Well, I was reminded of a favorite SNL Digital Short that I had seen in the fall called “Dick in a Box” and featuring Justin Timberlake. It was hilarious; and I highly recommended heading on over to You Tube and searching for it. I followed this up by watching Timberlake discuss it on a clip from the Tonight Show. This interview with Jay reminded me of another Digital Short called “Lazy Sunday” which featured Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell rapping about the Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia. After that, I watched a parody of “Lazy Sunday” by some newscasters somewhere in the midwest. After that video, for whatever reason, You Tube recommended two amateur tampon instruction videos - don’t worry, they weren’t graphic, but rather used stuffed animals and sink water.
It was a great break. I look forward to doing my first round of readings this afternoon for my 8 wait list classes (yes, I am a 3L in his last semester and have only one actual class that I got into - the business classes are popular at our school, plus I lost the lottery). Cheers.
