I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm giving it another ten minutes, so I can watch the whole 2 hours commercial-free. (Also, I'm not done making dinner yet.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, I kept WONDERING why I recognized that kid!

This is why I post. Really, it's a public service.

Just had the conversation with my mother that I wish I had had with my advisor last week, so am feeling better about my final grad school project.

Huh. I think I just helped my dad come up with a new idea on how to teach his 101 astronomy class. He's looking for new ways to teach it and was thinking about having them turn in their notes for portion of the grade. I suggested having them turn in a copy each week, which they'd get back at the end to use in the final. Of course, this could lead to manic brainless notetaking if they knew ahead of time. OTOH, in most of my classes, we did operate similarly (exams were open note, open book but they were a BITCH) so this might mean a hellish exam for him to write.

Anyway, it was fun brainstorming with him. He's rather depressed about the state of higher education right now and really looking for ways to really engage even his worst students. I get to hear about how he feels he's failed every exam period, and yet, having been his student, I know it is not him alone. He's got some shitty students too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think I got addicted to Project Runway this afternoon. Damn Bravo and their marathons.

I meant to say -- no way! I totally didn't recognize him! I'm watching via Netflix for the first time. Amazing damn show. Now I have to re-rent that disc to see baby Jake.

Project Runway is my ultimate reality TV addiction right now. Thinking about the new season was the only thing that got me through the horror that was TAR:FE.

Buy my chicle!

I'm totally into Project Runway -- good times.

Apparently I don't know how to watch TV alone anymore. Are you done with dinner yet??? No, no. I'll manage. But again, I say re: 24 ---

NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Oh! So they're going after everyone who knows Jack's alive. Damn .

I so totally didn't need another new show though.
