Loves,
Hope you all brought in the New Year happily and are not still nursing hangovers. As for myself, there was no hangover, but I have been dealing with a major case of caffeine withdrawal. Silly me, I thought that was a myth! One of my New Year’s resolutions–okay, my only resolution–was to drink less soda (presently I’m at 4 cans a day–hey, it’s all diet!! This means that while my body will be riddled with carcinogenic aspartame, it will at least be thin). Anyway, the resolution lasted approximately one day before I started nursing my headaches with the sweet, sweet nectar of Diet Mountain Dew. It’s only January 2nd, and I’ve already failed at my one goal for the year.
With the many months of 2007 (12, I do believe) looming in front of us, it’s time that I inform you that there will be a few changes made around WUT. You may know that I will be graduating soonly (if not, here’s your memo. Send graduation checks to: Lauren Zink, Wisconsin Union Theater, 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706) which will leave my present office vacant, begging to be filled with a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed someone.
This means a few things:
1. My fellow coworkers will no longer be annoyed by the volume of my stereo or my way of unabashedly singing when I forget that other people are around.
2. Someone else will have to start picking on Bruce. It’s an easy role; I’m confident that someone will sneak right in there and take over command.
3. This blog will never be the same. Please hold while I wipe away these tears. I will now hold while you wipe away yours.
Welcome this person with open arms, and embrace every change that he or she will be making, including the major revamp that this blog will no doubt be undertaking. Chat with him or her at our undeniably fabulous events, email him or her with your hellos. As for me, I’ll be here for a few more weeks, while Esty is on vacation in Costa Rica (myself, I’ve never been out of this country…which is why you should send your graduation checks in amounts large enough for me to partake in the wonders of the international world). I’ll probably post a few more times, but, for right now, this entry marks a revolution within the blog. I shall now celebrate it with words that have lifted the spirits of all Badger alumni at one point or another.
It’s astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I’ve got to keep control
I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let’s do the time warp again…
Let’s do the time warp again!
It’s just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let’s do the Time Warp again!
