Humdrum People

I know I promised to avoid talk of the weather, but I would just like to point out the fact that Cornell days pretty much just ended, and the weather's horrible. Just as predicted. Now, on to better things.

OK Go was amazing. The music was fantastic and they had great visuals to accompany it as well. The lead singer was hilarious (and a nerd, which is always a plus), and seemed to be down-to-earth, which is understandable for a fun-loving band like them. They didn't have treadmills on stage, but it was epic nonetheless. They did a song with only hand-bells for instruments, which was realy awesome. And they had a set of chimes for music. Chimes. I mean, seriously, you know just from that that they're good. One thing I noticed though:

Not sure Ithaca
is the right place to sing 'bout
Average people

In their song "What to do," the chorus has a part that goes "mediocre people do exceptional things all the time." Now, I don't mean to sound cocky, but Ithaca is not necessarily a good town to be singing about mediocre people. I mean, some people might feel mediocre after getting Cs on all of their exams, but in general I'd like to think that the people here are slightly better than mediocre. Like, I'd think we'd be at least commonplace or humdrum. Honestly.
