So they took me at my word

[cornerofmadness]

when I said last test they overstudied the essays only to fail the rest of the exam. This time they all passed the exam and blew the essays. Hit head on desk until skull fractures.

It's National Day of writing check out my post on jana_denardo for my reasons for writing.

forensic shows, since all i did was give a midterm and teach a 3 hour class...

I'm glad ID discovery keeps giving me new forensic shows on one hand (they're the one reality show i find helpful) since they're useful to writing mysteries. However, lately they've had shit ideas. I (Almost) got away with it, Jail Break and Cuff Me if You can are nothing more than glorification and pity parties for the criminals. I can do without that thank you very much. I am not sure what to think of the Devil You KNow where they look at the families of the serial killers. The one I am looking forward to is Homicide Hunter with Joe Kenda, since how homicide detectives really work is of great interest to me.

For that matter literally NONE of the new shows this fall are holding my interesting. sigh.



Okay it was politically incorrect but I was howling over Raj and Howard discussing Jesus's six-pack abs. 'He was the last Jew to do a sit up and look where it got him...' gigglesnort. Sheldon looked particularly pathetic coming in out of the rain

It has been raining buckets and the roads are so wet they're sending out warnings about slowing the hell down. I started hydroplanning a little.I asked dad for tire advice.

Dad - get what you got last time

Me - i haven't gotten tires

Dad - of course you have

Me - no I haven't. These are original. They have 89,000 miles on them

Dad - you do not have 89K on those tires

Me - yes I do

Dad- didn't you take it to that tire shop last year

Me - to get the valve stem fixed. My tires and brakes are original

Dad- your brakes are not original

Me - yes they are. I haven't had them changed

Dad - did I change them?

Me - you looked at them

Dad - don't you write anything down?

Me - YES but my tires and brakes are ORIGINAL. Don't you remember i had them look at the brakes last year and they were only 50% worn.

Dad - go out and look at brand name and style of those tires and get them again if they have 89K on them.

Me -....

I know what you mean about goof ups on tests. One of my classes blew a multiple choice test after I gave them study sheets. I sometimes wonder if the little darlings can read.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I pretty much know they can't. I've given reading assignments. The questions are in order they'll find it in the document (a yahoo or msn news article, not even a scientific paper) and they literally can not find the information

I'd be interested in The Devil You Know, if it actually investigates their lives and coping mechanisms. I've always been curious to know how you deal with knowing your spouse/child/friend is a serial killer.

It's not a bad show, but they do get a little repetitive and sensationalist. I still have a slight addiction to ID, though (I have to get my digital channels back ASAP).

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I never managed to catch it last year so this is good to know. I'm addicted to that station too and I love your icon

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I like the more in-depth 20/20 episodes, too.

YAY.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

heck I just like cops! for that matter

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

wildrider answered this for us but yeah I think it would be interesting to know

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Your students. *headdesk*

Your dad. *headdesk*

I think I laughed hardest at Leonard offering Mrs. Cooper a list of things she shouldn't say - and then again at Howard shouting at Raj, "YOU ONLY GET ONE WISH!"

Your newest adult dragon with the bobble on his tail reminds me of that fish that has the lantern antenna to attract other fishies into its waiting mouth. *snicker*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i know i know

oh those were good too. or for that matter Amy calling Sheldon bitchy

snort

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, last night's ep was sincerely funny. :D

I'm guessing there's an acid rain problem in that cemetery. I've never seen marble look that _melted_, at least down here in the non-industrial South.

You already have 89K on your new car? I've still only racked up 56K on my Civic, and it's ten years older than yours. Then again, I only have a 2-mile round-trip commute to work, which I walk or bicycle in good weather. That probably makes a difference :P. The Leaf and other plug-in electric vehicles with limited driving radius were made for people like me. If only I could afford one.

The 1999 minivan just hit 25,000 miles, by the way. Talk about a wasted automobile. I can't imagine how gunked-up the engine must be with unburned carbon deposits.
