Play for today

02.01.2005

One of the main reasons I don't do a lot of work at home, is that it's difficult to read/write when one cat insists on sitting on top of whatever it is you're reading/writing, while the other keeps peeping around one shoulder to the next. The lap one is Annie. Who's so comfortably lazy, that I can (if necessary) just move things around, shifting her, w/o waking her up (she has no objection to me subconsciously tapping her head w/ a pen while I think).

Anyhow. I'm almost done w/ laundry, about to jump in the shower, and make myself lunch. Then off to campus, hoping my chatterbox landlady fixes my apartment's heat before I return.

Today I want to: finish grading my 105 quizes, go over & record the participation assignments to hand back, prep for Thursday's 345, and write two pages. Then maybe shoot a game or two of eight-ball. Any takers?

Also, The Karate Kid was finally released on DVD. It arrives via Netflix today or tomorrow. Did you know my friend Bay has never seen The Karate Kid? I know, it's hard to believe.

what's a girl to do, watch movies all day long? I can't possibly ever catch up with all the movies I'm supposed to have seen. Also, I'm probably not in for 8-ball, as I seem to have already promised my before 10pm hours to other people (in fact, somebody will be mad at me by 8pm). But if you change your mind about being an early to bed Miguel... call me. :)

Well I've never seen "The Karate Kid" either. Then again, I only saw the second "LOTR" and based on that movie, I didn't understand what the fuss was about (please don't yell).

Holy shit. Introduce Bay to the karate kid phenomenon. I still practice the crane kick when I'm home alone, late at night.

I loved that movie as a kid. It's one of the best examples I can think of the American love affair w/underdogs.

No, it's not hard to believe. I haven't seen it either. N.
