And it's Friday

And darn glad it is. I was on campus from 7 am until just after 5 pm yesterday. Then I had an evening meeting from 6:30 until nearly 9 pm.

I am not a happy camper when I get essentially no "home time" in a day.

I do think I'm going to try going to the Brookshire's - if for nothing else, something different to do (also, I am almost out of milk. And also, I think I need a steak or something - I've been eating vegetarian for a couple weeks and I can feel my energy levels aren't that great. The local stores don't have very good meat options, so I either have to make a special trip to the Braum's or plan on going into Texas)

It's kind of sad when your main entertainment of the week is going to a different grocery store than the ones you ordinarily go to.

It's still really hot. It's supposed to get cooler (they're saying a "high of 86 for Sunday") but I will believe that when I see it.

A while back, the "Dumb Ways to Die" video was making the rounds of the Internet (an incredibly catchy song, and a darkly funny cartoon that was done as a PSA to encourage people (in Australia) not to walk across train tracks when a train was coming and such*)

Well, everything can be Ponified:



I really like how they tried to fit each fate to its appropriate Pony.....so Fluttershy dresses as a Moose during hunting  season, and Vinyl Scratch sticking a fork in a toaster (And yes, Derpy is there....)

There's also a version using repurposed show clips. I had no idea how often the Ponies put themselves in Mortal Peril:



(*apparently there was some controversy; some people thought it was too catchy and "imitatable" and thus not appropriate because children might see it. I don't know. I grew up seeing Daffy Duck getting his beak blown off by shotguns and Yosemite Sam playing pianos that had been rigged with explosives and I never wanted to try any of those things....)

A TARDIS! I love it!

(it is a catchy tune/toon but hey kids like garbage pail kids and bugs bunny cartoons.. I don't see the harm.)
