Good to hear encouraging news with S. I know her problems still exist, but glad that it wasn't a more serious hospital stay.

Yay movies! The Frost/Nixon promos have scared me. The voices and acting in the ads I have seen are almost cartoon-like. I remember the originals well and don't know if I dare see the movie. Are my fears warranted, Scrappy? What did you think of it?

Feel free to ignore my advice because I was a shameless grade whore in school. The professor was always right. Sky purple, you betcha. I'm far more outspoken in my old age, but I sure had good grades back in the day. When I was in school I might have taken the A, then had the discussion about the class after the final.

We spent Christmas day with DH's family for about 10 hours. A good time was had by all.

I really liked F/N, Laura. Not cartoony and lots of exploration of media and image and truth and other cool stuff like that. Go see it!

Sean, I'm so glad to hear from you. Next time please respond to my text, even if all you say is "go away" so I don't fret all night, k? I was really worried that I hadn't heard from you after Becca said you never showed and she hadn't heard from you the other night.

P.S. It's going to be 70 on Monday, so the sun shall return.

I'm sorry I disappeared. It's been a rough couple of days.

I get that, I do. That's why no response at all was so scary.

Anyway, glad you're ok.

good , Em!

Glad to here S is doing better.

It is just a wee bit colder than makes me happy, here. heavy frost on the cars this am

Glad to hear S is doing better, and that you are ok, Sean.

Shir, that's a tough one. I think in your shoes I would take the easy A, and hope my eyes don't fall out from rolling forever. Also, do your lecturers have students fill out course evaluations at the end of class? Cuz then might be a good time to have a say.

Yes, we have that, but what would I write? "Your approach sucks and insulting women"?

"Your approach sucks and insulting women"

Yeah.

Sorry, that's all I've got.

Sure, why not?

Of course, I may not be the best person to ask. I once stood up in a marching band techniques class that was a requirement for my major and told the instructor that he was an embittered old dinosaur who was stagnating in his glories from thirty years past and wouldn't know fresh and exciting innovations in the sport of drum corps or marching band if they came up and bit him on the ass.

This was in response to the fourth or fifth time he'd said that he felt women had no business being band directors.

Given that he had the power to keep me from getting a job anywhere in the tri-state area, I felt it prudent to leave class and go change my major.

I may have a big mouth.
