A professor of mine from back at university just tried to recruit me to teach translation at her new university. I had to turn her down, because I really don't have time to even take a part-time teaching role, but it was nice to be asked.
 
My cousin in law didn't know Ducktales was at thing, she's was RAISED during that time period, GIRL WHERE YOU BEEN?!

Seriously though she knew the movie was a thing, SO weird.
 
Man, 10 or so years ago I couldn't get away from that song. It was everywhere. On my station, on competing stations, on every other WoW AMV, everywhere.
Between XM, Apple Radio, and Pandora, I've successfully managed to avoid the current trends in music over the last 15 or so years. I haven't really listened to local radio outside of sporting events since ~2003.
 
I wanna say I'm generally plugged in with pop culture, politics I usually ask friends about...mostly because the idiocy that comes from Overlord Trump never surprises/nondepresses me as a human being.

Well, not all the poprock music has been bad (until recently). I rather liked The Killers' debut single, Somebody Told Me. And just about anything by Muse from roughly 7 years ago is gold.

But yeah, myself, I've mostly taken refuge in trance for the duration. Armin van Buuren, Roger Shah, Aly & Fila, Sean Tyas, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schultz, Above and Beyond, M.I.K.E. Push, Giuseppe Ottiviani, Pedro Del Mar, Victor Dinaire, Paul Oakenfold, Andi Durant, and Paul van Dyk are my favorites :D

Kati has a theory that people hit a point in their lives when they decide, "This is it. This is going to be me forever," and then they continue to wear whatever sort of stuff was in their closet/dresser/wardrobe at that point for the rest of their lives.

For some people, it's music.

I was at least paying attention long enough to catch onto Foxy Shazam while they were still around. In fact that suggestion came from either here or our old IRC channel.

I've been hanging out at this bar so long I've almost become a fan of the pop music they play most of the time. And I've developed a thing for Taylor Swift because my bartender will sing along and do a little performance whenever one of her songs comes on.

Im still trying to figure out what it is about her that makes her so attractive. I mean, there are so many things about her that don't tick my boxes, but yet I still find her appearance attractive. Something about her mouth, I think.

There are some rather good popular bands out there (in my opinion). I'm find of the Lumineers and the Black Keys for example.
 
I'm interviewing interns again this week.

Not a very good batch this year, I'm afraid. Only three made it through the initial testing into the interview phase. The fact that they're all young unmarried females should be considered nothing more than a remarkable coincidence.
 
First question, why would someone BLP (biography of a living person) tag the Wikipedia article of a guy who died in 1973? Second, how does that tag stay there for nearly two years? :confused:

It's possible that the tag was put in place for an earlier version of the article that didn't have a death date (or the death was unsourced, in which case BLP applies due to caution if I recall correctly). What's the article?
