Ring Ring - Ode to the Master's Thesis

"Hey hey
The way you spin me around
You make me dizzy when you play me
Like a kid with a crown

Ring ring
Ring ring
Ring ring"
-From Ring Ring by Mika

"Telephone line. Give me some time. I'm living in twilight."
-From Telephone Line by Electric Light Orchestra

The last five hours of my life are gone, sacrificed at the altar to my master's thesis. Our five-person team is counting down the hours, not days, hours until we submit our research, key findings, and business recommendations to a company that makes and sells telephones among other things.

I have nothing more to say on the subject, not just because I signed a non-disclosure agreement, but because it doesn't make for interesting writing or reading. And I should know after writing and editing 40 pages of it.

Meet Zack Morris and his ridiculous mobile phone,
in case you missed out on them in the 90's.
Since the prospect of finishing this 6-month project fills me with great joy, I wanted to leave you with the first song that came to my mind when I tried to think of phones and fun at the same time just now.
If you pay attention to the lyrics, you'll find that it's not so much about fun as phones and other stuff.

Essentially, my subconscious chose an ode to my master's thesis project. A peppy dirge, if you will.

Thanks for sharing in my catharsis.
