I've had an orange mango banana Vivanno and I'm avoiding the treadmill. I guess watching the Sunday political lineup could be my reward for an hour but man, I'm lazy.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh damn you, Berkeley Breathed--
Damned allergies.
Awwww. Goodnight, Opus.
I can't get Berkeley Breathed's Web site to load; I'm sure it's getting more hits today than it's ever gotten.

Yeah, I couldn't get it to load either.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I can see all the students who "borrowed" something from the costume shop to wear for Halloween without asking! I am so tempted to comment asking if they plan on drycleaning before returning!
Oh, you SO should. Just tell them to in comments. "You look GREAT -- be sure you dryclean that before you bring it back."

So. Damn. Angry. With. My. Student.
Sigh.
I'm at Starbucks and I've been grading for over an hour now. My students turned in 6-10 page papers on King Lear, using secondary sources.
And one girl literally copied 20 pages of Spark Notes, slapped her name on. In the reflection, she wrote about the whole thing was hard and how her paper was erased 3 times so she gave up then she still turned in that shit.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING?
Upside is one less paper to read.

I was showing Matilda pictures online and she declared, "I like the Baby Dylan."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm feeling a lot better this morning. Thanks, Kat, for chatting with me last night.
I went and got a bagel with lox and cream cheese, and had breakfast in Prospect Park this morning. It was nice, the foliage is at its peak right now, but unfortunately, it didn't warm up this morning as much as I thought it would. So now I'm back home.

The first day of Daylight savings is very wintry here, and yet adn I think I am going out in it again. But not to get a grilled cheese sandwich, which is what I am really craving.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ooo Kat, I've had that student myself. Grrrr!
I'm glad you had a nice morning, Tom. We're trying to convince the kids to go out for a post-shower stroll. Silly kids don't get what a rarity this is.
