chillin'Now Playing: "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional
What a cutie, right? Just had to drop in a photo of my latest fictional crush, Danny Messer from CSI: New York. What would my uber-serious colleagues say if they knew I'm a total crime show nut? Luckily for us, they know not of this blog's existence. *evil cackle*
Okay, so now that I've given you eye-candy, I also want to thank all the gods that it is almost Friday. I graded 24 papers from first-year composition students in the last 48 hours. My brain has stopped.
The only bad part is, I don't get to see Charles tomorrow. *waves to Charles* I miss you, sweetie! And I love you!
Is it a bad sign when your life has become about books, tv and movies? I'm excited bc tomorrow evening is "Ghost Whisperer" and "Numb3rs," which probably makes me the most lame person on earth. I'm also excited bc Stephen King's newest work "The Mist" comes out on November 21. Sadly, Charles and I won't get to see it until the following weekend (as in, the weekend after the weekend after Thanksgiving, make sense of that phrase!) but it's exciting knowing it's just coming out.
I just finished this really cool book, too, "Julie and Julia" by Julie Powell. It describes her experience working her way thru Julia Child's cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" over the course of one year. It's really funny and has a lot of great commentary on what it's like to be almost 30 (like me), married happily but not always blissfully (like all of us), and working with the hopes that work isn't all life is about (like definitely me). You should pick it up sometime, you should.
My guilty pleasure this weekend? A turkey sub, fries and a big honkin cookie from Penn Station tomorrow after work, and a Friday night of serious vegging in front of the tv. I may not even work out. *gasp*
But then it's grading advanced composition papers and recruiting new students to the university, so hey, I gotta take my guilty pleasures where I can.
