(no subject)

Today was unremarkable - and so, of course, I shall proceed to remark upon it.

Devin gave an excellent guest-lecture in the intro class today. Unfortunately only half the students showed up and most of them were doing the stare-like-sheep thing (or, as Mu would call it, the venus flytrap thing). Fortunately they are not carnivorous sheep, as I have no idea who would be the one to run around screaming names if the sheep were to start devouring heads. Certainly not me.

Anyway.

Over lunch I discussed with my colleagues the fact that John Sherman and Joel Salt are fucking weird - and also, the fact that I hate Tristram Shandy with the passion of a thousand blazing suns. I believe I remarked that if it had some dragons, and men in armour riding around whacking other with sticks, and maybe a giant or two, then I might find it readable. Alas, no. Unfortunately, I'll have to try to choke some more of it down before I go to sleep tonight.

I fell asleep on the couch in the ECC room again. :| I really have to stop doing that.

While at the cafe today, the barristo said to me, "Hey, were you reading The Road last time you were here?" I replied that yes, indeed I was - and we had a lovely little conversation about it. This is highly unusual; normally I don't have such encounters with strangers. But, it was nice.
