SoA! Huzzah!

FOX is on everywhere here.

Oh god! Did everyone see the Team Evil/Team Stupid debate on TDS?

I think as long as you're asking, you've demonstrated your willingness to teach. Eventually, one of them will follow up on it. The only teachers I really disliked were those who assumed you could keep up and denigrated you when you asked for clarification.

So sad here this week--one of our recent retirees, and a lady I'd gotten to know really well before she left, just lost her son to ALS. He was only in his mid-40s and was just diagnosed a few months ago, but went downhill really fast. A bunch of women just headed over there to visit while she sits shiva.

I couldn't stop giggling! Loved Wyatt and Oliver in those t-shirts, and I'd have to go with Team Evil for Fox News--they were too obvious about avoiding using the name of the head of that organization.

That sounds like a great first day, Hil!

{{brenda}} Did you figure out what's causing it?

I am likewise relieved that the summer shows are wrapping up. It's been a lot to keep up with. I have a lot of discretionary time to spend with my DVR, but it still makes me feel like I'm neglecting it with its accusatory high percentage of filled disk.

I've saved a bunch of Luna bar wrappers to send to Terracycle, but I haven't sent them yet. I'll let you know if/ImeanWHEN I do it.

Sorry, brenda. Sounds frustrating.

I have so many tabs open in Safari that I think my laptop is going to explode.

I am reminded of my high school calculus class. The teacher would always ask if anyone had any questions/if everyone understood what he had just said, and eventually he said, "OK, I am going to take silence as meaning that you all get this 100%." I swear, I was the only person in that class who ever asked a question, but I do not believe I was the only person who ever HAD a question.

Sons of Anarchy starts up next week. Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal FTW!

That's definitely one of the returning shows I'm looking forward to. But there aren't many *new* shows I'm excited about.

and she would pause everything if she saw a student with a confused look on her (my) face and ask what it was I didn't understand.

I've had calculus professors who could tell by my expression that I knew the answer, so I sometimes got called on for that reason. Usually I'd only raise my hand when no one else knew the answer, or sometimes I wouldn't raise my hand at all if I was afraid I might stutter.

I would think that would make it not so useful for drawing.

No, it's actually good. I draw with hard pencils to avoid smudging.

I will move you to the bottom of the pain worry list if that helps.

I can work on the recycled shit. Everyone else can have fresh.

I endorse this plan, as I suspect I may be benefiting from it in part.

Man, I thought a fist was going to fly in a meeting today. So much for being the nice place. Oooh.

Now I'm just pissed because people keep missing their meeting times, and this means no lunch break for me.

New-wise I'm definitely checking out Undercovers. Maybe some of the cop stuff--Hawaii Five-O, Blue Bloods.

The cheese on top of my microwave lasagna all stuck to the plastic wrap and is now in the trash can instead of on my lunch. Lasagna FAIL.
