Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I hope you feel better soon, askye.

My day was blah. Got to campus, went to Starbucks, realized I'd left my wallet at home. The Starbucks lady gave me free coffee, though, and said that I could pay tomorrow. Then went to a meeting, which was basically just admin stuff for the semester, and lots of stuff about how we need to crack down on cheating. Then my plan after that was to go grocery shopping, but I couldn't without my wallet, so I decided to drive home and just go to the grocery store closer to my house. But on the way home, it started pouring, and a whole lot of streets were flooded, and I nearly got stuck when I misjudged the depth of a puddle, so I decided to just stay inside. And then the storm knocked out the electricity here a few times, so I've got to reset all my clocks again, and it also knocked out the university servers for a while, so I couldn't send or receive work email all afternoon, and there were some things I really needed to do.

I also came up with an idea for having the students submit homework online that I think will work really well and save me a lot of time over the semester, but it's going to be kind of a pain to set up, so that's my weekend work.

That test makes me think of a kidney stone treatment Hubby had many years ago called a bilateral retrograde. Apparently it's banned by the Geneva Conventions. You can't do it to POWs, but health insurance covers it.

Hil, I hope your idea for online homework submission works out as well or better than you plan.

As for Sherlock Holmes, once upon a time, I would sit in front of the tv watching Jeremy Brett with my books open in my lap. In college, my history major (read: WWII buff) roommate and I would argue lengthily on whether Brett or Rathbone was the better Holmes. Given my reaction to Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring (stumbling out of the theater in the middle of the movie, never to return), I sort of half expected I would hate, hate, hate all the modern movie and tv adaptations of Holmes. But once I made up my mind to enjoy RDjr's version as an alternate universe, it worked spendidly. And once I broke the ice with that, I was free to love both Cumberbatch and Miller. While the writing for Sherlock and the performances are razor's edge perilously good, there are some ways in which Elementary is a more proper decendent of Brett's portrayal. Cumberbatch's Holmes is certainly from a few universes past RDjr's. But Miller's is something more like Conal Doyle's Holmes translated into modern times.

Blerg, Typo. May you have ease of not thinking about it too hard, and may the test itself not be nearly as bad as anticipated.

Our wings are not tired.

Much easier than anticipated ~ma, Typo.

My baby is 20 today. No more teenagers. Also, both boys are on my shit list because neither one of them bothered to call their 93 year old grandmother on her birthday. And I texted reminders to both of them. For those not in the know, kids are often jerks.
