I thought Wonder Boys was good, but the book was funnier.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

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

Yesterday I had an unplanned dental appointment. My hygienist is winding down her hours, so I have to make the jump to a different hygienist. This one is much gentler but also not chatty at all.

My spring break started today (well, technically tomorrow, but I don't teach on Fridays anyway.) I do have some grading and cleaning I need to do, but today I felt like I needed rest more, and I'll do the grading and cleaning another day. Now I'm watching Paralympic sled hockey, which is fun. China and Canada currently tied at the end of the second period, in the semifinals. The DJ between periods is terrible -- so far, I've heard the William Tell Overture, MC Hammer, and "Imagine."
