it's the middle of the night here but I want to say something to my fellow depressed academics: It feels like late November right now for me and I bet it does for a lot of you, too.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.
