music

As you may remember, we headed to a friend's wedding a couple of months ago. The groom was British, but the bride was from South Africa, which led to a couple of moments where I knew I was missing something. One of those moments was on the dance floor, when a song called 'Mama Tembu's Wedding' came on, and half the people on the dance floor went crazy. Later I asked what I had missed and had it explained that this was one of those traditions that happens. You can listen to the song, if you'd like, or read more about the musical it is from, Ipi 'NTombi (which is apparently Zulu for 'where are the girls?').

Frickin school district blocks my wikipedia access. 

I love that - rather than deal with the issue, block access. Then leave it until they get to college before explaining why citing wikipedia might be a bad idea...

It's not just wikipedia, it is a series of sites that are considered 'unacceptable'. Try doing a search for the band 'iron and wine' and you get blocked (booze). The wikipedia thing is the best though, a student was doing a current events paper on the effect of wikipedia and couldn't do any research in class. It hurts my head...
