I got to Local College early to meet with student and read more for the lecture. Going to school early is more productive as I can do work in the office there. My house is not very conducive for work. It is my first time teaching the law class and I’m shaky on the Roman law section – I need to get better at it. The class is not in the groove yet. I’ll keep trying. My Global lecture is much better since I taught it before and I’m fairly comfortable. Still don’t have a lectern. It is annoying to put notes on the table.

Next time we will read Cicero and I want to show his death scene from “Rome” As I was watching it to remind myself about that scene, I want to rewatch this whole awesome show. I have both seasons.

Poor hockey team that crashed today in Russia.

“Sexism in Moffat’s Doctor Who” blog entry .

The thing with “Doctor Who” for me since Moffat took over – it bugs me. I don’t really look forward to it anymore. I still haven’t watched the last episode. There is no urgency. I love Moffat episodes when they were stand alones during RTD era. But I just don’t click with the fairy tale aspects of the last few seasons and I’m not really interested in Amy – in the last season it was all about getting married and in this one it is about a child. And that is all she does. And gets kidnapped. My favorite companion was Donna and even though she wanted to get married too, we meet her as a bride and we last see her as one, she was so clearly her own character who was a match for the Doctor and wouldn’t take anything lying down. And she did a lot of rescuing herself. I do love River (I sense a trend of liking older, more mature companions) but her life is all about the Doctor. So she only went to study archeology to see the Doctor again? That is sad.

I watched the “2Fast 2 Furious” movie today. Why didn’t I watch these movies before – such silly fun.
