Well everyone, I'd like to let you all know that the Robin Sylvester art gallery is officially open for the semester, thanks to a generous grant from the PSU Education Foundation. I'm particularly proud of one of my pieces in there, which is a tribute to my time over the summer spent on Poveglia Island-- an offshoot of Venice, Italy, that is touted as being one of the most haunted places in the world. I was really inspired by the death that radiated from the place. It made me feel more connected with my loved ones who have moved on, and truly knowing that I have protection from the other side. It's why I'm working on a new art project, and if anyone's open to it, I'd love to hear about how you try and connect with those who have passed on, or even with your deepest and truest self.

Music. Don't know how deep or true I get and I didn't try and connect with my grandma, she connected with me. Two days after her funeral, there was this rabbit outside my favorite spot back home. Looked just like the rabbit she crocheted for me when I was a baby. Kinda just felt like her way of saying it's all good.

I need to know when is the appropriate time to watch Hocus Pocus? Because I love this film however it seems extremely early to be watching. Do I wait till October? What's up everyone? I'm Jamie Hummel and I run my own freelance digital marketing company. Anyone who needs some digital marketing done hit me up. I also teach marketing at PSU. Does anyone have a seasonal favourite film or show to watch at a specific time of year?

Personally, I think any time of year is the right time of year to watch Hocus Pocus. It's what Bette Midler deraerves.

KURT: my bad, this is why I need to heck my notes before I go planning based on images in my head. We can work with that!! I love a girl in a suit.

Uh, deal. I’ll come over with my camera. I'll send it to the company and soon I'll be back on TV! Maybe we can do a commercial together?

After the masterpiece we're about to create, you're getting more than a commercial. We're gonna win Tubi's most streamed, my majestic haired friend.

Yeah? Give me your details and I'll see what I can do, there are plenty of people who come in with a band and then the band are what's letting them down, or they're missing a component, so I'm always in the market for backup. They're probably good references I feel like no one's as honest as a parent with their adult kid.

Cool cool, here's my number ( ### ) and my e-mail [email protected]. I've got my PSU e-mail too but I don't look at it as much, not gonna lie. Yeah, I mean my mom's kind of a big deal in the music industry so she's harsh but honest and my dad just thinks he's funny and sometimes he is.

Yeah, I'll try the vet. Thanks, Ali.

Is that a serious thanks? Did I actually help or... 'cause I can't tell. But vets are pretty good with people too. Saw a vet give a human mouth to mouth, they knew all about human stuff. Did not think a bird doctor could work their way around a mouth that wasn't a beak.

You are aware that legal complaints and grievances are a completely different thing than complaining about a part of your job, right?

I'm aware that they are complaints and you were complaining about them. Sooooo the irony still stands. You got an issue being ironic, Lawyer lady? Alanis Morissette didn't invent irony so that you could deny it.

Yes. Yes, it is Ali. I'm definitely usin' this platform to find myself some cougars. Know of anyone who could do with someone as pathetic as me?

I don't know about pathetic. That's mad harsh. Maybe you just wanna get laid and ain't nothing wrong with that, Big Mo. Can't help with the shoulder though, I'd probably just made it worse. You got horses though, maybe the vet can do something for you. You're horse sized...

I somehow managed to pull a muscle in my shoulder blade earlier, when I was moving hay bales around in the barn, so now I pretty much can't move. Does someone know of a good mobile masseuse or chiropractor, who comes to your home?

Is this an old person thirst trap?

Since apparently social media is the biggest marketing tool around right now, and since everyone here has some affiliation with PSU which I know from experience is a decent school, let me take this opportunity to try to fill some roles. What's up, my name's Addy Corcoran, I'm the founder of Indigo Sounds, an indie record label based here in LA. Right now, I have two roles I'm looking to hire for, one in admin and the other in marketing. If I had the latter filled already, this post would be much more appealing, I'm sure. While on the subject, I'm always looking for new talent, so if anybody's looking to break into the music industry, hit me up and we can talk. I'm pretty selective, but again, you're all PSU people, so chances are, you're not gonna totally suck.

I'm just a drummer. You need any live drums on anything though, or you know a band who needs a drummer, let me know. I make my own beats and sounds if that helps. I've been told I don't totally suck, by my mom and dad. Their exact words, probably.

Did anyone else watch the Emmys last night? Disappointing that Mr & Mrs. Smith didn’t win, maybe it would have won if I got the role as John Smith, but oh well.

Remake it, put it on Tubi. I'll do the music. We can both sweep awards season.

New school year means I'm incredibly busy, though I somehow had the time to make this page. Currently going through all of these posts and seeing that nearly everyone is introducing themselves. It feels almost juvenile, like we're in high school and doing an ice breaker where we have to tell each other something fun we did over summer break. Amy Duval. She/Her. Lawyer. And most importantly, mom to three perfect little cats. Perhaps you've heard my last names quite a few times (especially around Emmy season), though rest assured I am nothing like Elodie or Alexander. I'm much better, actually. I'm currently going through work e-mails before the new week starts, and I'm already quite done with these complaints. Part of my job is dealing with student complaints/grievances that they believe can be taken to a higher level. Students: not liking your roommate does not call for contacting a lawyer. Complaints and grievances are serious, such as your professor doing something illegal (not giving you the grade you deserve because of something personal, being an absolute creep, etc.) Do me a favor and do not send me you don't like what they've got for food either. Yes, I have gotten that a few times.

You doing a whole paragraph complaining about complaints is something worthy of the back of a t-shirt it's so ironic. Actually, this whole post should be used in every English class to explain irony 'cause you got two beautiful examples in one.

Hello hello PSU! I hope everyone had a spectacular welcome back and is having an easy adjustment into the new school year! For anyone who might need a pick me up, I'd like to announce that Second Chance Animal Rescue will be on campus the rest of this week with some four-legged (and two three-legged) friends who would love some visitors. We'll be set up just south of the library every day from noon to two. If you're feeling stressed and would like to play with the dogs during that time, feel free to stop by! Even if you're not stressed and just want to love on them, you are more than welcome too. And if you’re not a dog person, you can also take this as a warning. As much as we love our canine companions, your comfort is a higher concern.

Am I allowed to just lay on the ground and let them puppy pile on top of me like a dog shaped weighted blanket?

ALI: my bad, didn't know I was talking to a droolologist
