Tom is Away

not painting.
i do like not painting.

Some dude plays the Star Wars cantina bar song on his hands, reminds me why the Internet is totally useful.

Every time I try to treat my students like adults, they let me down.

somewhat impressed that the dog figured out how to remove a Target bag from the exact center of my bed, remove the one bag of candy from that bag, and open the candy bag. Not so impressed that he tore several holes in our comforter with his teeth in doing so.

out to eat me a pizza pie.

gone spacklin’.

Also, watching the Temple game later, obviously.

making chapters happen.

it’s cool that Obama is a sports fan, and he seems like a nice guy, but I could probably do without his recent media blitz. It’s like he’s hyping a new album or something.

no more grading today. or ever again.

grading a couple more papers before The Office & 30 Rock

It’s never too late to look at the list of the Worst Anti-Christian Films of 2007

By “worst” I think they mean “most,” and by “anti-christian” they also seem to really mean “anti-conservative.”

you try figuring out whatthe “worst LSD trip” movie award means, or what the hell the Worst Anti-Biblical Rebellion is.

All I know is Hostel II won the award for Worst Sadomasochism. Presumably the Best Sadomasochism award went to The Passion of the Christ.

one thing I really like about writing is that I can work all morning without having to change out of my sweatpants, and I can make it until 2:30 without knowing it’s even raining. Plus, bonus: no interacting with people!

Strange (somewhat kinda awsome) youtube link of the day.

back to work on the book.

as usual, not really paying attention to the NCAA tournament.

grading, waiting for the next class to start.

I kinda like conferencing with students are really high, because they try very hard to focus, and also because it’s funny how they try to hide their bloodshot eyes.

Not that I encourage them to smoke before the meeting. But if they’re gonna do it anyway, at least it works out okay.

no writing this morning. need to get some grading done.
