In Which I Love Gummy Bears

Apparently, my current mental capacity is that of a 5-year-old. I have less than 2 weeks left of school, am averaging 5 hours of sleep a night, and am just plain tired. Teachers around the country know exactly what I mean. We are all in survival mode. In order to make it through to the end, I am watching things that make me happy. It started off as nature documentaries and re-runs of Bones, and has gradually deteriorated to old Disney movies (I love The Apple Dumpling Gang) and the Muppet Show, and now I have deteriorated to The Gummy Bear Song. I watched the YouTube video five times today alone.

Several months ago, my sister introduced me to The Gummy Bear Song. I dare you to listen and not smile. I mean, it's a green, animated gummy bear wearing a pair of bright yellow men's underwear, singing techno-pop. What's not to love? And, to make it even better, you can listen to it in Spanish, Czech, Swedish, Hebrew, Irish, Hungarian, German, French, Brazilian, and Slovak! It's also a great song to listen to while working out because it's just the right tempo. I have it twice on my iPod, once in German, and once in English. I'm a bi-lingual gummy bear lover. Gummy, gummy, gummy, gummy, gummy bear.

I showed the Gummy Bear song to Becca and she said "Please don't make me watch it again". Just remember only a little more time until summer break.
