Singing Chipmunks

Who decided that this was a good idea??? "Let's take a bunch of weird little rodents. and give them a singing career," said someone who obviously should not have opened their mouth. The first live action movie is bad enough, but with the creation of three very unusual sequels and unnecessary female chipmunk love interests with curves to accent their femininity, it appears we have achieved hell on earth. The high pitched voices have reached the tops of music charts, and it appears the Chipocolypse is underway with the rumors of a fifth Chipmunks movie in the making.

Parking

As any Western student knows, having a car on campus is extremely expensive, but for some people it is necessary. There's a great many people with off campus jobs, and a great many more who live off campus. But for those that live on campus, there are only certain spots in which they can park. For example: I can only park in C lots because C lots are closest to my dorm. So living on campus, you'd expect to always have a spot located close to your dorm so that you can get to and from you car timely. Yet, I always find myself stuck parking well over a half mile walk from my dorm in lots labelled All Valid WMU Permits, because they are such big lots so far away from anything that no one wants to park there. When I am paying $300 to park here, I expect to have a spot conveniently located to where I live. There are always plenty of spots in R (employee) lots all around my building, yet if I park there I will get ticketed and possibly towed. I find it kind of backwards that the people being payed to be here get the best parking spots, while those paying tens of thousands of dollars have to fight for spots nowhere near their destination. Can someone find the logic in that for me?

Mumbles and Grumbles

I cannot think of a single person who doesn't enjoy listening to a nice song. And with that I can think of a great many people who enjoy humming and singing along to it. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with that at all, the biggest thing I have a problem with is the people who hear a song for the first time and think it is their job to sing along to words they do not know. There is nothing wrong with not knowing the words to something, so why do some people persist on making their voice herd in mumbles and grumbles of things that do not make any sense.
