Aug. 27th, 2010 11:00 pmI am reading! A paper book! That is in itself progress this summer. I really like this Stephen Fry autobiography. It is funny and he does not hold back. He airs his faults unapologetically for the world and it makes the book even more charming.
I watched an online video about the Writing classes. Students always bitch about having to ‘think’ and blame their professors for that. And that always amuses me.
This year, my university decided that part time students who only pay for less than half of full tuition are not entitled to health benefit. Unless they plan to graduate. But I still need to jump through hoops. And on top of that online registration doesn’t work – so no insurance for a week at least. Lovely.
I renewed my Interfolio account. I feels like the new school year.
Some woman tried to smuggle a baby tiger through customs on the plane.
Highlander “Judgment Day” “One Minute to Midnight” Two part conclusion to Season 4. (Although I understand that in original airing, people had to wait a whole summer for Part 2). Again, conflict between watchers and immortals with Joe right in the middle. It was really good of the show to go back to the consequences of Horton actions. And it put our three main character in nice conflicts. Mac ends up mad at everyone, particularly at Joe again. But they did try to save him. And Methos goes along with Joe’s plan for Galati only for Mac’s sake. Very good episodes. Season 4 in general was most consistently good season so far.
“Six Feet Under” s1e1 I saw that HBO put the first six episode onDemand so I finally checked the show out. I love “True blood” and Dexter is awesome so I thought it was time to try this show out. I remember it didn’t appeal to me when it was originally aired because of the subject. But I’m older now and different things are appealing. I liked the pilot. This show does not look as crazy and awesome as “True Blood” but that is the subject matter. Based on the pilot I would want to watch more of it.
