  1. I couldn't finish this week's episode. After 8 and half seasons, the shittiness finally broke me. Doomsday...in a pod or some stupid crap and Lionel organizing a trap? So bad, so terribly planned. I've felt insulted by the writers for seasons now, and this was just so so bad.

  2. As the title says, I've got an extra set of Neil Gaiman's Sandman TPBs, it's a full set from volume 1-10. Is anybody interested in buying this from me let me know so we can work out a possible price?

    They're various printings. They're all in pretty good condition.

    I figure I'd try and work out here before I resort to e-bay. If in a couple of days I don't get a response it'll be posted on e-bay.

    Under normal circumstances, yes. But crippling poorness has set in. :(

  3. I get so nervous when I do seminar presentations for school. I've now lectured to 150+ people for an hour twice, but talking for 20 minutes to 5-6 of my peers scares the fuck out of me. Last night I couldn't sleep until 4AM when I had to be up at 7:45, and I was feeling sick to the stomach at the thought of my presentation.

    It seems like I'm being a big baby, but I did my presentation today, and everyone liked it, and the professor seemed to like it! Hooray!

  4. I just watched it, and I think it was a fun story. There's something about the Futurama movies that don't seem like movies. They seem like episodes of the show. I really liked this one, however, and it sort of bookends the series nicely. I heard they were contracted to make four movies, so this could be the end of the entire show, and I think it's adequate. I'd love to see more, but I'd be happy with this.

  5. I just got back from 7-11 and while I was deep in contemplation over whether this was a Fruity Pebbles night or a Cocoa Puffs night, I heard the following statement, very clearly and loudly.

    "Oh my god, you are so sexy, I want to rape you."

    Naturally, I turned my head to discover where this came from, and I saw two college girls looking in my direction, one with a rather offsetting look in her eyes. She then proceeded to walk over to me and repeat her desire to have forced intercourse. I just stood there dumbfounded. What the bloody hell do I say in this situation? "Thank you"? "I'm very flattered"? I just gave a very nervous laugh, and left the store.

    I swear I could fill an entire book on weird moments like these in my life.

    At least it wasn't an old lady this time.

    One of my little brothers' girly friends came on to me while drunk over new years...one of my 14 year old brothers' friends.

    Step One: Get the fuck out of there.

    Step Two: Keep going and don't look back.

    Not into older ladies, junior?

  6. I gave a lecture to 150 first years on Monday on Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. I was worried I wouldn't have enough to say (1 hour) and it turned out I had too much to say! All the other instructors seemed to like it, too.

    Also, I finally did my taxes from one year ago, and I'm getting enough money to delay getting a second job. When I figure I can do this year's taxes, I can continue my silly, TA-job grad school existence for months! Oh, and I got a co-ax cable for my TV, so I get more than one channel, now!
