- It turns out that the actual, on-the-books QE requirements at UC to the SC aren't that draconian. Write a 20-page essay, write a vague dissertation proposal, write a couple of syllabi. Fair enough. I'm meeting with my adviser tomorrow to hash it out; I've got a proposed draft of my reading list ready to show him.
- It's been 90 degrees for the last few days. 90. It's almost November. Can you believe that the official Republican policy as late as a few years ago was that global warming was a liberal myth? Can you believe that there are still some fucktard hold-outs still claiming that?
- On a related note, I feel really, really bad about the fires in Socal. They affected friends in very bad ways. Also, this morning I asked my students and 50% said they had family there who either had evacuated or were going to evacuate.
- Still pondering another "week of thing!" photo essay. My man Matto suggested a different tattoo every day. There were also calls for a hat week. Sadly, I have only three hats, making hat week nigh-implausible. Ideas are welcome.
- Buying tonic for G+Ts at 7-11 makes me think about Russian nihilism. As if there were any other kind!
- I have an iPod, which is connected to big Princess-Leia-earmuff style headphones (no so-called "earbuds"...they creep me out) I was reminded of why yesterday, when I took the bus without them and had to listen to two room-temp IQ mouth-breathers complaining about how they didn't want any more "crazy bitches" in their lives. I restrained myself from reminding them that they were, in fact, the crazy bitches.
- No surprises: I still feel great about black coffee and red wine. Oh, and tonight Top Model is on. Let's hope that blond chick who looks like a skinny mule gets kicked off.

Does it have to be a week of things that are on or worn by you? Because (and I know this is sort of an Insufferably Predictable Girlheaded suggestion, espcially in these times of LOLcats and cuteoverload) I'd dig a week of Things on Pesto's Head. It could be in tribute to Oolong.
You know about Oolong, right? King of Rabbits with Things on They Haids?
...or conversely, a week of Rabbit on Things (or in things). Also possible, a week of Things on My Head (including hats).
I like stuff on stuff. Also, I like commenting via my fancy room computer at school. Not my stupid cube computer, which doesn't allow me access to said blog.
H: no, I did not know about oolong, until just now. And I thank you for it.
It sounds like the vast crowds are crying out for Pesto pics. I will try to make it happen; she's kind of persnickity.
Dude have you seen the show America's Most Smartest Model? It's pretty hilarious. I think you are talking about Tyra Banks one though right? I'm "familiar" with both of these productions. Haha! I love the tagline though for the "most smartest" show: It goes something like "their gorgeous, perfect bodies, and dumber than a pile of rocks..." Gotta love it!
top model (which for some reason was on a re-run frenzy this summer) got me through QE prep.
Now, it is the 24-7 CSI re-runs channel with Chinese subtitles
