Tragically Truant

That would be me.

Two weeks ago my Dell of four (and almost a half!) years bit the dust.

Just....gone....adios...

So now I type upon my new MacBook. And while I miss the Dell...I do love this sexy little machine! And I will be loving it for awhile since it cost so damn much. 

Oh technology.

The semester is coming to a close and with it comes the end-of-the-year business of grading, finals, and worried students. 

I have many worried students.

I also have my own final to worry about (herpetology) which promises to be interesting considering the amount of specimens there are to know.

I will rock it. And you.

I've seen some pretty good films lately so hopefully I'll get around to writing some reviews. I'll have plenty of time (theoretically) over Thanksgiving which I am spending with Ken and his parents in North Carolina.

I also get to see Jason Mraz while I'm there.

And that's all I got right now -- about to go teach so there isn't a whole lot more I can say.

Pick a movie (below) and I'll write something about it soonish.

"That was quick." "Yeah, everybody could shot."

Wow, is it Tuesday already?

Let's see what's been going on...

*Ken and I celebrated 3 years with Bone Fish, wine, and a diamond necklace!

Face-eating is a must.

*Teaching, teaching, teaching -- my kids have their midterm tomorrow so some of them are getting mighty spooked.

*Trying to nail down the "Big Question" for my thesis. I think I may take a turn towards fossilized and extant salamanders but nothing is for certain yet. I need to do a whole LOT more reading to get up to speed in the literature.

*I'm heading to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference tomorrow. It's being held in Cleveland this year so I'll be heading up to Atlanta tonight to catch the flight tomorrow. And to see Aunt Peg!

*Saw Appaloosa and was pleasantly surprised. Wasn't sure what to expect with a western and Renee Zellweger (ugh, cannot stand her) but I thought it was pretty damn good.

*Went on a herpetology trip on Sunday which was ridiculously fun. Got to play in the dirt AND pick up slimy things! Double AWESOME!

Supa Sweet!

Anyway, waiting around for my office hours to finish, then I need to drop my labmate Paul at the airport and pick up some bloodworms for the salamanders (which are my new pets -- don't think I mentioned that).

After that I'm Atlanta-bound!
