This is a just a lead up to an esoteric NYU joke.

From the NYU alumni newsletter:

Watch NYU President John Sexton on "The Colbert Report"
Don't miss the chance to watch Stephen Colbert tell NYU President John Sexton why his opinions on everything are just plain wrong when Sexton makes his debut on the popular show The Colbert Report airing on December 6th at 11:30 PM on Comedy Central.

"I think the students will get a kick out of it," says Sexton, who is gearing up for the chance to match wits with the very opinionated and often acerbic Colbert. "A few weeks ago, a letter came to the office saying, 'I hear you teach a course called Baseball as a Road to God, and while I know nothing about baseball, I am a personal friend of God.' The letter got my attention."

From 1997 through 2006, Stephen Colbert was The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's longest-running and most popular correspondent. In addition to his role as Senior Political Correspondent, he was one of the hosts of the segment Even Stephven, a point-counterpoint assault featuring co-correspondent Steve Carell, and the host of This Week in God, in which he reported on all things theological with the assistance of the God Machine. In 2006 his popularity on The Daily Show led to a starring role on The Colbert Report, a half-hour nightly spoof on Fox News-style political talk shows.

Tune in to watch Sexton on Colbert Wednesday, December 6, at 11:30 PM on Comedy Central or catch the rerun the following evening, Thursday, December 7 also 8:30 PM on Comedy Central.


OH GOD I HOPE HE TRIES TO HUG HIM.

A Dedication:

To all my dear, dear friends who are forced to watch CSI: Miami for a living.

Endless Caruso One Liners.

I usually do this AFTER New Year's Day, but...

Post the first sentence from your first post of each month.

JANUARY: I suppose the title is misleading, because I'm not actually going to reflect upon my time in Florence and my return to the States just yet.

FEBRUARY: First player of this "game" starts with the topic of "Five Guilty Pleasures" & tags five others who must write an lj entry about their five guilty pleasures as well as state this rule. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged & list their names.

MARCH: There won't be gender equality in the world until there is an official woman dictator in the world.

APRIL: An AMAZING weekend this one was, with Threepenny Opera, and karaoke, and the Hercules drinking game, and Kingdom Hearts 2, and nae_trews!!!!!!

MAY: It's really quite disgusting how slow the scanners in the 3rd North Computer Lab are. Like, REALLY slow.

JUNE: I apologize for the long silence.

JULY: I found this star wars fan vid a while back, and it made me laugh a touch harder then it should have.

AUGUST: Well, once again I have been a productive little wench…the problem, as usual, being I've been productive in the completely inappropriate venture.

SEPTEMBER: So, the more I reflect on "Spamalot", the more I absolutely adore it and want to see it again.

OCTOBER: As much as I fear this Bone Test, I do so adore Forensic Anthropology.

NOVEMBER: BUT...until I get a full night of sleep, memes it is!!!

DECEMBER: However, now I'm sick with the chills, which although I have no thermometer to back this up, usually translates into "Nella's got a fever".


Meh. A rather uninteresting sounding year.
