More than a man, he's a shining golden god

Friend reblogged this video on tumblr, which I thought was pretty witty while also being largely spot on. There are a couple of parts where I thought she was giving girls too little credit-- for example, a chick might be hot and into nerdy shit, but she still might dump her significant other for totally legitimate reasons that aren't shallow. But anyway.
My favorite sequence is where she gets down to business, but the gist is: People don't break up with people because they're "too nice", or even because they're "nice" at all. People break up with people for entirely legitimate reasons, often to do with lack of compatibility.
Work is good, but I'm worried about some of my students. I do have several in the area where Hurricane Isaac has hit, and I haven't been able to get in touch with all of them. I have no idea what it's like to live through something like that, but I do know what it's like to sit in another state and worry, waiting to see if your friend will be able to contact you and let you know they're still alive. Thankfully, though they're terribly insensitive about just about everything else, my students seem to appreciate how scary it is to live through even tropical storms, and several of them today expressed concern for fellow classmates living in the affected area.
Edit: Holy wow! Awesome Russian animated film of The Little Mermaid from 1968!
The song she sings is so wonderfully haunting!
