I just had a thought. Don't bother watching TV. I imagine the direct-to-DVD market for decent things, and not just pathetic Disney sequels, will be appearing fairly soon.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister (who already owns the Proulx) informs me they're screening Brokeback Mountain in Toronto next month.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Hi everybody! I'm back!
Looking for advice: I have to email a professor to ask if she'll let me into her history of math class even though I don't have all the prerequisites (specifically, Calc III and maybe Differential Equations). I think I have a pretty good case -- mainly, that I plan to be teaching math next fall and would like to have some history of math under my belt for it -- but I've never actually done this before. How do I phrase it?

Ooh, Toronto Film Festival? I keep meaning to try to go up for that, and it always catches me by surprise at the end of the summer.

He was taken to Exeter Hospital, where a locksmith was called to remove the lock.
Poor locksmith....
On the plus side, a great story to tell for years to come.
Veteran emergency room nurses in San Francisco can all run off a list of unexpected objects they've had to remove from various asses.

Or did I miss the part in the bible about taxation without representation?
"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's"?
well, that's just plain taxation.

you might want to mention other courses that you've taken that you think could be comparable. You could also ask to audit the class, which she may be more comfortable with (if you don't need the credit and are just taking it for hte info)
