stop counterculturalism now: Mahna Mahna

Mahna Mahna

Saturday, December 17

remember that Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper commercial... and the Mahna Mahna song? Evidently, according to Wikipedia... well, read for yourself:

"Mah Na Mah Na" is a well-known song, written in 1968 by Piero Umiliani as a soundtrack for the softcore documentary Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Hell and Heaven) about sexual activity in Sweden, and was played under a portrayal of lesbian BDSM.

A few months ago, I and some friends were planting trees in Tacomy Park (part of a charity-volunteering thing). Though we were spread thin and hidden in the woods, all one of us would need to do was mumble, "Mahna mahna," and someone would inevitably chime in "Doo dooo dedoo-doo." Nobody got lost.

About me

I am a graduate student who currently lives in Austin, Texas. Like many in my position, I am good at wasting time, procrastinating, and the like.

I have been blogging since 2003.

Many of my posts are somewhat random, though I try to include personal narratives and writings from time to time. As of July 2008, I am going to include only writings that are personal or at least long-winded here.

You can view all my posts from around the web on my Life Stream / Tumbleblog.

Or, if you want to add me to a social networking site, I am on Facebook, Flickr (slideshow), Myspace, and Twitter.
