oh hot reservoir this is my jelly (an inside joke + a song)

so addie and i are sitting on the floor doing work.  suddenly i hear her ask me, "what kind of fish goes best with peanut butter?" i take my headphones out, i'm thinking hard.  then all of a sudden, i'm like, "wait, what?"  she laughs, "it's really easy.  what kind of fish goes best with peanut butter?"  this question is not about service provision.  i turn my head to the side, with that far-away thinking expression in my eyes (i imagine).  i think, peanut butter, peanut butter... jam... jelly... fish– "jellyfish!" i laugh.

all day long i've been listening to today's top hits on pandora as i've worked.  some of the songs i really enjoy.  some of them are really catchy but i don't like them lyrically at. all.  anyway, there's a popular song out there somewhere i don't know the name of it, but one part of it goes: oh dot damn, this is my jam.  and i thought of that as addie was telling me that joke, because a while ago on tumblr someone posted this image:

and people were confused, like, oh hot reservoir, this is my jelly?  haha.  that was me, honestly.  i had no idea what the image was because i had no idea what the reference was.

interesting though, isn't it?  something as small as having heard a 3-4 min. song can completely determine your ability to understand a simple, fairly straightforward image.  it made me think deeper (i'm always thinking deeper– i'm a deep thinker).  music came up in our Not For Sale training on human trafficking services.  our instructor had us listen to songs that normalized pimping, recent songs that came out in the past decade.  since then, i think i've been a little hyperaware.

it's getting late so i'll speak more to that deep-thinking thought another day.

anyway here are some of the songs i'm ashamed that i've bopped my head and tapped my foot to today:
tonight, tonight by hot chelle rae
call me maybe by carly rae jepson
sexy and i know it by LMFAO
one more night by maroon 5
we run the night by havana brown
good feeling by flo rida

i hang my head in shame.

but okay ya'll, this last one i am not ashamed of at all, in fact it's my new favorite:
both of us by B.o.B. (with Taylor Swift)

enjoy!
