I know this has been posted many times over the years, but since it’s Halloween I found it fitting to post again.
Here is my blog post on Cindy Song, which you can read below.
Hyun Jong Song, who went by Cindy Song, was born and raised in South Korea. When she was 15 years old, she moved to the states to live with her aunt and uncle in Springfield, Virginia. After graduating high school, she went on to attend Pennsylvania State University.
In 2001, Cindy was 21 years old. She was a senior at Penn State, majoring in art, and was set to graduate in a few months. She was living in an off-campus apartment in State College and working two part-time restaurant jobs.
On Halloween night in 2001, Cindy Song attended a costume party at Player’s Nite Club. She was with her two friends, Stacy Paik and Lisa Kim. Cindy was dressed up as a bunny. She had on bunny ears, a pink t-shirt with a bunny logo on it, a white tennis skirt with a tail attached, sheer stockings, brown suede knee-high boots, and a red hooded parka.
“She had bunny ears and a tail that she had bought. It was a very cute outfit. It wasn’t like a sexy outfit. It was a very cute outfit. That was her thing, she was very cute. She liked to look cute,” a friend of Cindy’s said.
The three partied into the early morning hours of November 1. After the club closed at 2 am, they drove through downtown and stopped at a friend’s apartment. There they played video games for the next couple hours. At 4 am Cindy was dropped off at her apartment by Stacy. Stacy didn’t stay long enough to make sure Cindy made it into her apartment safely.
That’s the last time Cindy was seen.
Cindy’s roommate, who had just got back from visiting her family in Philadelphia, returned home later that day. The apartment was locked and nothing looked out of the ordinary, but Cindy wasn’t there.
Her friends began to become more and more concerned about not hearing from Cindy. They reported her missing on November 4, 2001, which was three days after anyone had any contact with her.
Two days later, the investigators searched her apartment.
It’s believed that she did enter her apartment, but left shortly after. Since she locked the door after herself, it seemed she had left voluntarily. The fake eyelashes that she was wearing that night were on the bathroom counter, and her backpack and phone were found. The only thing that seemed to be

I had a phone interview in the morning and I know that the first time I talk in the morning sounds very quite/sleepy. I put on 6 foot 7 foot by lil Wayne and after the song I felt way more lively and ready and my voice was not crackled because I had already tested it out. (Water helps too) this is, of course, if you have a place that you can do this alone.
Welcome back!
So that's just how it goes... New semester is starting, you have to manage your courses, sign-up for classes, wake up at 7am and all of a sudden you forget the important things in life. Like this tournament! But now I am here, albeit a few days behind schedule. Anyway... results!
- "New Pony" with 51 votes (37%)
Not an unexpected winner, but I wouldn't have been surprised by a number of songs. Here are the full results: https://www.strawpoll.me/18743649/r
Now brace yourselves for we are diving headfirst into the christian trilogy where we might even find our winner. Who knows? We start with "Slow Train Coming", here goes: https://www.strawpoll.me/18788759
Personally I'm not sure what I will vote for yet. Musically most are on the strong side, but many are also among the worst lyrical work of his career. I'll have to think longer about this. See you soon.
So Bob heads back to the clubhouse and calls home. “Hello?” says a little girl’s voice. “Hi, honey, it’s Daddy,” says Bob. “Is mommy near the phone?” “No, Daddy. She’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Frank.”
After a brief pause, Bob says, “But you haven’t got an Uncle Frank, honey!” “Yes I do, and he’s upstairs in the bedroom with mommy!” “Okay, then, here’s what I want you do. Put down the phone, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout in to Mommy and Uncle Frank that my car’s just pulled up outside the house.” “Okay, Daddy!”
A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone. “Well, I did what you said, Daddy.” “And what happened?” “Well, mommy jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug and fell through the upstairs window and now she’s dead.” “Oh my god...and what about Uncle Frank?” “He leapt out of bed with no clothes on, too, and he was so scared he jumped out of the back window into the swimming pool, but he must have forgotten that last week you took out all the water to clean it, so he hit the bottom of the swimming pool and now he’s dead as well.”
There is a long pause and then Bob says, “Swimming pool? Is this 554-7039?”
The neighboring store front and exterminator van in the opening credits have the best punny business names and always crack me up. I'm a fan and would love to name my business in a similar fashion. ETA Examples: I'd Hit That Boxing Gym. Lady and the Clamp, Hardware for Her. A Fridge Too Far. Cupid's Stupid, Divorce Attorneys. A Ton in the Oven, Big and Tall Baby Clothes. Let's Scissor! Collage Studio. Don't Stop Bereaving, Grief Counseling.
But I am So. Stuck.
A little background about my business idea: I'm a personal/sometimes virtual assistant specializing in household admin and management. I'm marketing mostly towards blue collar men who might be widows/divorcees who never had to worry about the general finances and household paperwork. Some of the services offered are: budget setting, bill paying, appointment setting/calendar management, travel arrangements, errands, personal & grocery shopping, pet & house sitting, etc...
I'm ready to take the next steps in making this an actual business and take out some ad space, but the perfectionist in me NEEDS a brilliant name. Can someone please help me? The best I can come up with is some sort of play on Pepper Potts, but I see quite a few VAs out there with that as a business name. I will gift a platinum to the one I like the best if that's appropriate.
Thank you in advance! 🍔
Everytime I listen I'm transported back to childhood friends and memories of things we go up to. One of my favourite songs.

I’ve been recording field audio for NPR since 2004, and many of the techniques I’ve used to tell stories on the radio are implemented at the Tiny Desk. From the iconic stereo mid/side shotgun microphone to spaced omni-directional mics above the audience, the DNA of NPR is what makes Tiny Desk recordings so distinct. I’ll answer any questions about the live set-up, post-production and mixing processes. Come with your questions about any specific episode recorded after July, 2015, when I took over as audio engineer for Tiny Desk from my mentor, Kevin Wait.
I’ll start answering questions at 2PM Eastern. You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram.
Welcome back,
unlike last week I won't waste much time on explanatory talk and instead we will jump right in. The winner is:
- "Never Say Goodbye" with 10 votes (20%)
I'm a little surprised by this one, but I guess I would have been surprised by every song, more or less. Here's the whole poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/18651473/r
Now for a serious contender for the title of most insignificant album of the tournament. I'm talking about "Blood On The Tracks" of course. There is a similar poll going on in the "Survivor"-tournament right now, but that won't stop me from doing my own. Here we go: https://www.strawpoll.me/18682237
There is a pretty clear favourite here, but let's see how it goes. Hope you have a wonderful time and I'll see you next week!
