Flash dance

This weekend has the potential for a lot of fun. And then there was law school. Finals are fast approaching, and though I would love to enjoy the gorgeous day tomorrow/go to the Green City Market/shop with friends at an outlet mall/attend one of three birthday parties tomorrow night, I have a feeling that I might just hang out with my school work.

However, I thought that I would share videos of people who are really having a lot of fun. I kind of became obsessed with flash mobs after seeing one on Oprah in September, and today I was shown a video of a flash mob at my alma mater. It is such a typical occurrence on that campus (while I was in college we would frequently have petting zoos, horse and carriage rides, and ice cream all over campus- the quality of life is pretty high) that it was unsurprising but still so fun.

So until a few weeks from now, flash mob videos it is.

Obsessed.

I have recently rediscovered the perfection of the song "Africa" by Toto.  I think this might be one of the best songs ever made.  Seriously, who doesn't love this song?

"It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do"

This part kind of makes my heart burst with happiness for some reason.  So, thanks to my fantastic boyfriend, I have discovered quite possibly the best version ever made.  Here are my top five:

5. Spongebob does Africa.  In German.  Not actually good, but hilarious to watch.

4. Howie Day cover.  His voice is definitely not perfect, but having seen him in college perform this live makes it a little better than normal.

3. Acoustic guitar.  This man is amazing.  I guess he plays covers at an Italian restaurant, but his sounds are peaceful and beautiful.

2. The original.  The original music video has got to be one of the worst, but the song clearly makes up for that.

1. I could watch this over and over.
