They were very sad to realize that no such "rule" existed. It's the Holy Grail of slackerdom.

One of my journalism classes was an evening class. It was taught by a reporter from Cincinnati, and b/c of traffic, sometimes he was late, but never by more than 10 minutes.

One night, though, it hit 15 minutes, and we all left. However, we all decided to go Uptown and drink beer, so we left him a note on the blackboard that said exactly where we'd be, and that he should come up and join us.

Which he did. We bought his beers and wings, and it was all good.

victor, we've been told Logan has skipped some classes. We also know he attends some. He attended whatever class that was that hosted the prison experiment, and volunteered to give up a weekend for it, for the chance to write a shorter term paper. We know he's going to gym. I think we were supposed to believe he skipped the night class, and then realize that we'd been misdirected, and that he was actually at it.

I don't think Logan was actively trying to make Veronica jealous. I think Logan wanted freedom but was too afraid of losing her to say so. That said, I still agree he is self-destructive. But I think last night's episode was about her, and her issues, not so much him and his. If it had been about him and his, we would have seen more of him without Veronica.

I loved last night's episode. I really enjoyed thinking of the potential craxxyness that Self-Destruto Boy and Trust Issues Like Whoa Mars have experienced and will experience. I hope they stick through the craxxy, because damn. That's interesting. So damaged, the both of them. Also, pretty.

WEEVIL! Yay for Weevil. Slightly eyerolly that Keith would give him such a sensitive assignment right away, but I can let it go.

Dug the MotW. Um, that's all I have. Amazing how much less I have to say when an episode makes me happy, eh?

The Logan gym talk made me snicker after the discussion of his abs in here stemming from ita's krav peeps.

Heh. Me, too.

Me, three.

It's been brought up repeatedly in every episode. He's skipping class.

It's a state school. Some classes just aren't big on attendance. DH, for the record, skipped class whenever it was raining. Seriously. He did't like to go out in the rain. He still pulled down stellar grades because he's smart. He knew which classes he could skip and still get good grades. Logan's not stupid and I think he's savvy to just excatly what he can get away with.

I sort of thought Veronica was being a wet blanket in the opener because of pushing all the "cultural" stuff. I mean, Neptune probably has an art museum (or two) and I didn't see her rushing to poetry readings when she was in high school. It's just a thing. I'm not saying she should want to get plastered at every kegger on campus, but partying and enjoying yourself is also a part of college life.

I thought Logan was being more normal and Veronica was pushing to be what she thought should be more normal.

Maybe I'm projecting too much of my own college experience here, though. My first college roommate was a Latin major. Who majors in a dead language?

Wasn't Kiba a Latin major?

I skipped a lot, but only during bouts of depression or infatuation. Thus, the five year plan.

It's a state school.

Hearst is a private college. Else it would be named "UC Neptune" or "Cal State Neptune," ala UC Sunnydale.

Judging by how the reactions are falling, it seems the males are tending to sympathize with Veronica and the females with Logan. That's actually really interesting.

One suspects a good many people (probably me included) are seeing their worst attributes with regards to relationships magnified a bit here, and they're reacting to them.

It's a state school.

No, it's not. It's a private school.

I thought Logan was being more normal and Veronica was pushing to be what she thought should be more normal.

Well, Veronica's years distanced from normal, so she probably doesn't remember what it looks like.

I agree with Cindy both that this was the best episode of the season and that we're lacking the emotional resonance.

Well, I'm mostly bewildered by Logan's actions, although I have to admit that his "little lies" remind me of the way I am with my parents. It's not that what he's actually doing is that awful, but it's just easier not to mention it at all because of the reaction he knows he'll get. And, since he's not being entirely honest with Veronica, I can understand why she would feel a little paranoid.
