Monday Morning/Bar Italia

Did my radio show today, which was fun as usual. (For the record, you can catch me every Monday from 12-2pm on UCLAradio.com! If the stream's working.) However, since it's President's Day and we have no school, neither of the djs on before or after me showed up. This happened on MLK day, too. And last week I did my show in silence thanks to the fact that the stream was down. What dedication from members and management alike. Normally I censor myself a bit on this blog, since it's (obviously) public and I don't really need to go loudmouthing whiney opinions that will get me in trouble with the wrong people. I'm just sick of the general laziness that seems to abound at the station.

As for the post's title(s), again it's based on a couple of songs -- this time the titles instead of the lyrics. For the record, I'm feeling "Monday Morning" by Pulp off their album, Different Class, and the track "Bar Italia" follows it superbly. Here's the relevant bits:
"There's nothing to do so you just stay in bed,
oh poor thing,
why live in the world when you can live in your head?

Mmm when you can go out late from Monday,
till Saturday turns into Sunday,
and now you're back here at Monday,
so we can do it all over again.
And you go aah ah ah
I want a refund,
I want a light,
I want a reason,
to make it through the night, alright.

And so you finally left school,
so now what are you going to do?
Now you're so grown up,
yeah you're oh oh oh oh oh so mature oh...

Stomach in,
chest out,
on your marks,
get set, go.
Now, now that you're free,
what are you going to be?
And who are you going to see?
And where, where will you go?
And how will you know,
You didn't get it all wrong?
Is this the light of a new day dawning?
A future bright that you can walk in?
No it's just another Monday morning.
Do it all over again, oh baby."
