Stars At Night -by LokIsaac


We listened to the radio a lot while driving about in Europe and heard like two or three songs over and over again: "Gangham Style", "Whistle" by Flo Rider, and "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz. Merrik particularly liked the later two songs so we all took to singing them in the car. Naturally I got them stuck in my head but for some strange reason I didn't get "I wanna throw my hands into the air sometimes/singing AYO! Gotta let go!" but instead "I wanna throw my hands into the air sometimes/singing AYO! I'm Galileo!". So we decided this must be made into a parody. We've been working most of tonight doing just that. We are hoping that our immensely talented Lydia will produce it for us. Well here are our lyrics:

Here is the original to listen to in the background:

"Stars at Night"

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Saying AYO! It's Galileo!
I wanna celebrate and live his life,
Saying AYO! I'm Galileo!

I took a stance, stance, stance, stance
against the pope, and I got banned, banned, banned, banned
do my calculations by hand, hand, hand, hand
give me some space for my diagrams, grams, grams, grams

Ye, ye

The stars go on and on and on.......
And they go on and on and on......

Yeah!

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Saying AYO! It's Galileo!
I wanna celebrate and live his life,
Saying AYO! I'm Galileo!

'Cause we gon' show the world,
We go round the sun,
We gon’ light it up,
Like the stars at night!
'Cause I told you once,
Now I told you twice,
We gon’ light it up,
Like the stars at night!

I came to prove, prove, prove, prove,
experiment, to show it's true, true, true, true
I wrote a book to share my world view, view, view, view
"Two New Sciences" will breakthrough, through, through, through

Ye, ye

The stars go on and on and on.......
And they go on and on and on......

Yeah!

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Saying AYO! It's Galileo!
I wanna celebrate and live his life,
Saying AYO! I'm Galileo!

'Cause we gon' show the world,
We go round the sun,
We gon’ light it up,
Like the stars at night!
'Cause I told you once,
Now I told you twice,
We gon’ light it up,
Like the stars at night!

I wanna see it all, that,
That's what my telescopes are built for.
I may die but still, I,
I'll be remembered for my understanding
Cause I, I, I.. need to see it,
And I, I, I .. I just want to know.....
I just want to know.....
I’m gonna put my hands in the air!
Hands, hands in the air!
Put your hands in the air!

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Saying AYO! It's Galileo!
I wanna celebrate and live his life,
Saying AYO! I'm Galileo!

'Cause we gon' show the world,
We go round the sun,
We gon’ light it up,
Like the stars at night!
'Cause I told you once,
Now I told you twice,
We gon’ light it up,
Like the stars at night!

French Repercussions

I eat breakfast everyday, which is more than I used to, but for some reason I am still hungry. Not right after breakfast but within in a hour or two I feel famished, like I haven't eaten in a full day. This is very peculiar because I used to get by fine with only eating lunch. So why the sudden change now that I am being good and eating breakfast? Was it because I was eating breakfast? For science I didn't eat breakfast one day and it was SO much worse.... so what could it be?

It is almost like my body was expecting more food at that time or earlier... then it hit me. FRANCE! In France we were always served a very large amount of bread each and every morning. So now I am so used to these huge breakfasts that I am hungry until I eat lunch unless I eat lunch early in which case I am hungry in the afternoon to.

Oh, France, you've made me starve by feeding me so much food.

Laughing

My mother called me today and reminded me of the "roadrunner complex" which is where you laugh when someone gets hurt. During this I explained to her that she laughed at me the first time I got stung by a bee. Her reaction was "that's horrible, why would I..... AHAHAHAHAHA" the first part of that statement was entirely serious and genuinely confused. The last part of that statement was hysterical laughter punctuated by rather incomprehensible "that was..... you.... it stung...... your...... ass...." and the laughter didn't stop for the rest of the conversation.

Jobs and Japanese

The beginning of this quarter was the worst I have ever experienced. I tested into third quarter Japanese and it was my first class of the quarter. I went to class to find that the class was oriented entirely around speaking in Japanese to other classmates and the professor. I can understand a fair bit of Japanese but I cannot speak it. I had to explain this to two fellow students who understood but when the professor came around and asked me something in Japanese. Well I responded "どもせいません、I can't answer." so she asked again, and I repeated my answer. Then she asked again and I resorted to English "I'm sorry I can't answer". I couldn't figure out why she kept answering because he heard me explain my situation to the other students.... well she didn't stop there, she asked me five more times..... Two days later she literally told me to drop the class. The worst part is that the only thing I couldn't do is speak. Also it was humiliating.

On the bright side a friend of mine from WoD on Saturday told me of an opening in his work. So I may be able to get a Job. Not so bright side... I may not be able to go to Philly if I get it.

Giant Moosie

My best friend in Philadelphia has a stuffed moose named Moosie. Until recent years she would not sleep without that moose. Her love of Moosie was a consistent thing throughout my childhood and when I was at costco the other day I found this: 

It is like Moosie except FIVE TIMES BIGGER! It was the best thing and only 30 dollars but I don't think it would fit in my room......... :'(

(This is hidden cause she is embarrassed... I think that is silly so now I am going to publicize it: hence being a terrible person)

.5 percent of my grade

I just finished my computer science final worth 25% of my grade, one of the answers to a question on my final was literally:
Talk to a rubber ducky about your code

So .5 percent of my grade comes from knowing how to talk to a rubber duck.

Spring Break and Strange Bathrooms


SPRING BREAK is just ONE WEEK away! Super excited to sit back and relax from the stress of looming homework assignments. Sleep, Minecraft, here I come!

On an entirely different note, ever since I saw a flying porter potty the other day while walking to Isaac's Parent's house, I feel like I've been haunted by strange bathrooms. The most funny of course being the original mid air toilet:


The least funny being the slenderman-esk door lurking in bathrooms. These doors are all over bathrooms on campus and although my logical self tells me they are storage closets, they are so out of place that it is hard for me not to attribute them to something spooky and mysterious. Course it makes me nervous to use school bathrooms so maybe the logical side of me will win this one....

I couldn't fit the whole door in my camera and keep the stall open at the same time.......

My Life


This is my life... or at least 80% of it. If this doesn't interest you, then you might want to get out while you still can.
