Saddened
My fellow Penn Staters and I have been through a lot these past few months. I’m not here to soapbox or say that our football program is beyond mistakes. Nor am I here to say that the victims of abuse deserve less pity, spotlight, or support.
But I just have to say this.

I love that this was big enough news for PCB to pick it up. We saw “fun.” as an opening band a few years ago and fell instantly in love. We went to the merch table to ask their name because we didn’t understand that when Nate kept saying “We’re fun,” he was saying the name of the band. Of course, that was before we wore skinny jeans.
“That’s the cool thing about it. The book is kind of a living document.”

Power Half Hours →
Big news, guys.
After much prodding (mostly from Jo), I have finally set up a separate tumblr for Schiver and my power half hour videos!
What’s a power half hour? It’s a video power hour like you used to do in college, a sit on the couch and relax drinking game made up of video clips of various things we find interesting. Instead of the full hour though, it’s just a half...

must. not. watch. community.
Husband is playing hockey with his little friends, so we are DVRing it (and Parks and Rec, but we are weeks behind there). It’s on. Right now!
And I can’t watch it, because I’m a good wife.
(Pause so I can take a swig of beer. Yes, I’m alone. Don’t judge me.)
Damn it, I’m a good wife!

Sorry, fellow Hufflepuffs.
I think I’m too tipsy to make potions right now. Back to pulling us out of 4th place tomorrow!
fun fact: I tried to spell out “4th” several (read: three) times before I finally gave up and typed it with the number.

The Raw Story
Scientists at the Penn State College of Medicine said this week they have discovered a virus that is capable of killing all types of breast cancer “within seven days” of first introduction in a laboratory setting.
The virus, known as adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2), is naturally occurring and carried by up to 80 percent of humans, but it does not cause any...

Guys. This is important.
We are currently having a major lightning storm, and I’m pissed off at everything.
I think I’m controlling the weather with my emotions.
What should I do? I mean, clearly I’m a fucking bamf because this is some wicked lightning. But should I use my powers for good? I’m kinda leaning towards evil. What should my badass name be? Tights/no tights?
I’m pretty sure...
