Turn the Tub Around

Lately I've been running around the State of Southern California like a chicken missing it's tail feather. I've covered the length and breadth of my college campus uphill in the snow, barefoot both ways while pushing Maya in her stroller in order to procure the proper signatures and pound of flesh to gain permission to orally defend my thesis. That sounds like a disease doesn't it? "I had to see my primary care physician after I had a bad bout of orally defending my thesis." If that's the disease I'm loathe to hear the cure.

Last night I discovered a new channel during an extended bout of (ZOMG Thesis Defense is imminent) Insomnia. There is a new channel on tv called "Dance" which plays one item over and over ad nauseum. It's reminiscent of a Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire dance number but with fabulous Megan Mullally singing Turn the Beat Tub Around with...a tub of butter. I wish I could attribute this discovery to Sartre/Thesis Anxiety inspired dreaming instead of cruel reality but when I checked this morning the Megan was still doing the happy hoedown with glorified glob of shortening. I can't believe it's not Ginger Rogers!

Clearly my thesis back up plan should involve some fancy footwork and a tub or two.
