It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Yes, that's right. Today is GROUNDHOG'S DAY.

Which means that after class is over this afternoon, I'm going to watch the movie "Groundhog Day" this evening to celebrate. Hurray!

Now as for the actual event, there are some mixed news results as to whether or not we'll have more winter. Copied from the Huffington Post:

"Most local groundhogs did not see their shadows on Groundhog Day 2010, even though the most famous one of all did.

Punxsutawney Phil's Groundhog Day 2010 prediction was six more weeks of winter, as he did see his shadow.

But how about Buckeye Chuck, Staten Island Chuck, Jimmy The Groundhog, and General Lee Groundhog?

None of them saw their shadows."


Now, I've never even HEARD of any of those other guys, but some research shows that they've all got quite a following in their home states. But, who cares, right? Punx Phil saw his shadow AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS, DAMN IT.


Also, I got to sleep in this morning, which was a nice Groundhog's Day treat- Aural Skills was cancelled, Dr. Tychinski is out of town so I didn't have a lesson, and then Recital class wasn't until 11. It was nice to actually get some sleep (for once).

And that's why I love Groundhog's Day.



Coming up: Operation: Zombie Apocalypse at Wal Mart.
All the details are here, and I'm hoping to amass quite a showing at the Fairhope Wal-Mart. So far, I have Macey and Cleve in on it, but we haven't made any plans yet. If any of my Fairhope friends read this and want to participate, let me know.


That is all.
Happy Groundhog's Day, everyone!
