Cover Song + YouTube Video (with a purpose) for the Week

"Baby I'm Yours" by Barbara Lewis is one of my favorite songs of all time. Its just a sweet, simple song that says 'I love ya..'

The Arctic Monkeys do a cover of it and its also the background song to a nifty youtube video!

Doesn't it remind you of your first crush? Or you first (innocent) love?

Invisibility Cloak

Blah.

See the Wall Street Journal article here.

Even more depressing (just a tad), Cal alum have a higher starting median salary ($59,900) and a higher mid-career median salary ($112,000) than us UCLA alum with $52,600 and $101,000, respectively. boo...

Luckily for me, the History and Political Science majors will pay off...someday.
