Any weekday morning when it's after 10:30am, you've been awake for 2 hours, and you haven't had your breakfast yet? Not such a good morning.
WoW Update: I need to go to the Stockades nownownow. I have like 80 bajillion quests that involve going there, and by 80 bajillion, I mean four. Which, in fairness, is actually quite a lot when you're only allowed to carry around a total of 20 quests. Fizzy's outfit is still not pink enough. But it's not all barfy-yellow-green anymore, so I should count my blessings.
Why is it not Friday yet? I want to SLEEP FOREVER. And play some games. And make t-shirts!
The Eugene UPN affiliate. Sucks. BUTT. They completely biffed it on the broadcast of this past week's Veronica Mars episode--first the audio started cutting out, and then the picture, and then their stupid "KTV-whatever" screen with the reeds and cattails on it. And it's sad that I have any recollection of what's *on* that screen, because that means this has happened often enough for me to see that screen image multiple times such that it would seep into my brain without any active effort on my part. The fuh?! Somebody needs to be fired, oh, yesterday.
Random sidebar: the past day or so has taught me that I am still a pretty mediocre-to-bad teacher. I'm helping train the new evil minion in our department, and it's mostly going okay, but he still seems pretty confused by some of it. It's a lot to take in at once, though, so maybe it's not entirely my bad. Thing is, some people just have a gift for breaking things down and explaining them to others. I don't think that I have that gift; maybe my brain just moves too fast for me to articulate what's going on in it, but seriously, just keeping the process relatively linear is already a huge challenge for the likes of me.
The thing about teaching is that the people who are the best at doing a given activity are not usually the best at teaching it. People who are gifted at something, and who never had a truly difficult time understanding how to do it, will have no idea what a new student is getting stuck on, because it was easy for them to figure it out. It's the people that had to struggle to get good at something who can really come to understand the finer points and the little difficulties that plague the people they're teaching. Ability and depth of knowledge don't always go hand in hand.
( What kind of die am I? )
