Things that Are Square on KUCI

Playlist for 11-19-09

You guys. It's friday. I'm gonna spend all day in my office listening to the Mountain Goats and playing Desktop Tower Defense. And then tonight: sex party.

OK. That last part isn't true. Tonight is probably going to be "get drunk, play "Left 4 Dead 2," swear at the TV. But maybe I'll feel myself up whilst drunk. That's SORT of a sex party. Right?

Will you all rise for the singing of our national anthem...

My roommate and I decided that we should start our own country so we can make this the national anthem:
