Fifteen Minute Rule

You college kids have heard it all before.

"If your teacher is fifteen minutes late, you're allowed to leave."

My question is: is it true? There was a large debate circulating throughout my Speech class today. Some are Pro, or they think it's true; others are Con, thinking it isn't true. I've never officially heard from a teacher if it's allowed or not. Nevertheless, here I am, sitting silently in the CHC library, waiting for my next class, which doesn't begin until one. This would be one of those times I wish I could drive. Wouldn't it be so nice if I could leave right now? Go get some delicious food or possibly head over to CP and buy what I need at Target? Sadly, I cannot. I am then forced to wait a couple of hours until I need to head over to Music.
Until then, I figured I'd write a fabulous blog for you guys to read. Today it will concern....well, first, an exciting piece of news.
It is official! Death Cab for Cutie will have given us (us being the plethora of Twilight fans out there) New Moon's first single! For two reasons, I love this. One, of course, being that I am an avid, if not obsessed, DCFC fan. I have all of their albums (my favorite being The Photo Album) and I know in my heart that I am destined to marry Ben Gibbard, even if Zooey Deschanel is already engaged to him. The second reason is that, despite all its flaws, I do truly love the Twilight series. Thus, what a lovely combination! The song is called "Meet Me On the Equinox" and it will premiere September thirteenth at the MTV Video Music Awards. A lot of people are calling Death Cab a sell-out, but personally, I think that's pathetic. Just because you don't like the series doesn't mean it doesn't need music for the movie. While there are many reasons why artists create music, one of the big ones is so that it can be used for the media. What would a movie be without music? Sometimes only a song can communicate what dialogue cannot.
My second piece of blog-worthy news is that I stumbled upon an amazing website last night. Click here to visit Anti-Duckface. The people who run the site describe it as follows:
"You know that face you make when you're about to take that deeply angled shot of yourself for myspace? You know, the one where you push your lips together in a sort of bastardized combination of a pout and a pucker to give the impression that you've got big sexy kissable lips and way more defined cheekbones than you actually have? It's called "duckface." STOP DOING IT. IT ISN'T SEXY. YOU LOOK STUPID."
Everyday the owners put up new pictures found by or sent to them displaying perfect examples of this so-called duckface. I went through at least twenty pages, laughing hysterically. Oh, duckface. How, when and why have you taken over the youth of today? And what sort of men find you attractive? Ducks, perhaps? Who knows?
Anyways, I have to head to music now. I'll blog again another day.
Au revoir.
