Gah.
Have a class to teach at nine. Likely no backup (given the time and the fact that one person's out of town), and fifteen registered students (by which I mean faculty). I've run the batches I need to set things up, I've made copies, and I'll check the room out as soon as I'm able. The real problem? The coffee place in the library doesn't open until 9. Which means no more coffee before the class. Grrr.
Anyway, some very quick notes, mostly about weekend TV:
1. Arrested Development became yet another figment of Tommy Westphal's imagination! If it's going to end, I can think of few better ways than with these four episodes, which were just hysterical.
2. NBC's Olympics coverage blows goats. Seriously -- every time the show comes on, you can hear the sound of goats getting tumescent in a three-mile radius. Between the lack of knowledge, the bullshit tape delays (let's pretend that Italy's in the Eastern Time Zone!), and the repetition (take a drink every time Scott Hamilton mentions the new scoring system!), they're doing their damnedest to suck the fun out of things.
3. JLU. Oh dear god, that was fun. I loved so many aspects of that episode, from the subtle references to Barry, to the underscoring of the differences between Flash and so many other heroes. And we finally saw Linda!
4. For those of you snowed in in the NE, you're in our thoughts. Stay warm!
Off to set up the room.
