Good Riddance

2007 will go down in history. I'm not sad to see it go.

Season Post #2

I posted a picture of trees on my street in the fall. This is the view off my balcony in winter. I didn't know until the leaves started falling off that there is a (little) lake behind the trees. If I leave my blinds up it's the first thing I see in the morning. At night it's prettier because of reflecting light. I like the spring but now I don't want the leaves to grow back. I like the lake.

I owe this to THE FANS!

Last week I bought something wonderful.
And to celebrate, I am going to show you a classic moment. If you are too cool to spend six minutes on this video, watch the last thirty seconds.

If you don't love her after that, I don't know. Maybe you're not capable of love?

The Nerds

Every Tuesday and Thursday between my 2:00 and 5:00 classes I spend time in my office, usually checking e-mail or planning for the next class. The friendly thing to do is to leave the door open, but I always close it eventually because of The Nerds. The Nerds are these three guys who literally stand in their professor’s doorway (2-3 doors down) with their coats and backpacks on, just shootin’ the breeze. Loudly. Here are some things I’ve heard them say:
1. “Oh my god, you have to see Bob Saget’s standup video. It’s hilarious. He makes fun of Full House, and he’s swearing the whole time. It’s hilarious.”
2. “You’re going to think I’m gay, but, The Bell Jar.” (no joke. I don’t know the context of that one).
3. “You haven’t heard the John McClain song? Oh my god, YouTube, right now.”
4. “I think the reason I like to talk about guns and knives and killing people so much is that I’m not that kind of person. Like, I would never do that. You know? So it’s entertaining to me to talk about it because it’s not real and I would never do that.” Right. That one’s not funny when you type it out.

Today is the last Thursday of the semester, and I’m moving offices next week. Bye, Nerds!
