Sep. 23rd, 2009 10:40 pmToday was a grading day. Pretty monotonous. I have to return papers to them tomorrow so I needed to just get them done. My better class is better at writing too; they have fewer failing papers. Can’t wait to finish this batch tomorrow morning. And of course, I get new rough drafts right after that with a new department policy to comment on rough draft for Paper 2. Joy.
I interrupted the monotonous nature of the day by falling down the stairs. I was coming down for lunch and my right foot kind of slipped on the top step and I ended up sliding all the way to the second floor. At least that’s what I think happened, it was too fast, I was just trying to stay in a sort of seated position and not tumble over. I know I pulled a muscle in my right arm, but otherwise I’m fine. Well, it is a good thing I have enough meat on my butt to cushion my slide down! My adventure of the day!
Broke the grading in the afternoon to make some rice. Papa called from work and asked me to make it today. I don’t just make regular rice, I make it with chicken broth instead of water and it is just delicious. Vegetable broth should work just as well. I got the recipe out of Betty Crocker cookbook and it works every time and makes for a flavorful rice. Here is the recipe; I always make the mushroom version:

Sony is awesome. I called in with my computer problem yesterday morning and their repair guy was over my house by four this afternoon with the replacement part. I’m sort of in shock of how easy that was.
WWZ is reminding me a bit of “Day of the Triffids”. People seem to use similar strategies in disasters.
Season 2 of “Battlestar Gallactica” started out with an intense and awesome episode. Way to hook me in, show.
Genesis WTF moment of the day: Jacob went to his uncle’s house (Rebecca’s brother) so that his twin brother wouldn’t kill him for stealing his blessing. When he got there he fell in love with his youngest cousin Rachel. So he worked for his uncle for seven years to be allowed to marry her. But at the wedding, his uncle gave him the older daughter Leah instead. Now Jacob only realized this on the following morning once he already slept with Leah. Now the question is: how did he not realize it wasn’t Rachel way before that. He lived in their house for seven years. I guess like his father Isaac who in old age and blindness couldn’t tell Jacob apart from his brother even as he recognized the voice as belonging to Jacob, Jacob ignored the obvious. He did marry Rachel a week later as his second wife and worked another seven years for her and sired lots and lots of children with his wives and their servants, so everything worked out. Incidentally Rachel only had one son, Joseph, since apparently almost all the matriarchs have infertility issues that God had to solve.
