"Oh God..."

-Ben Kingsley, as Gandhi, last words

There is actually an intermission for this movie.  Oh, how I had forgotten.

"This makes driving fun."

Tonight, in the deserted Burlington mall parking lot,  I taught David to drive stick in about 30 minutes.  He was off to a good start because the first time he started the car, he didn't even stall (this all started after we finished dinner and I was too tired to drive back...so I decided to teach him to drive my car, which is manual, obviously)!  Now he can do about everything.  He can shift up and down just fine, he's just a little bumpy at the beginning, letting off the clutch too fast/early and giving too much gas.  It's only a matter of time, though, before I turn him into an autocross junkie.

I'm having such fun looking at pictures of hair tonight instead of working on my thesis!

My Drawing II class is going to be fun.  There are only nine people and we will have a live model to observe from each class.  Tuesday, we didn't have a human model available to draw from so my teacher brought in her dog.  It was just a little bit awesome.  She said that tomorrow we need to be on time for sure because we have our first live model.  She's modeled for classes before and is a fifty-some female bodybuilder.  Interesting, no?  Oh, and did I mention that there is a man in his sixties that is a student in my class?

I'm still soooo sad...

The outcome of the superbowl made things a little better yesterday, but I still can't get over this:

Federer is my hero.

Superbowl?

Australian Open Finals: Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal in progress

Roger Federer (2) 5 6 6 (3) 2
Rafael Nadal    (1) 7 3  7 (7) 2 

I'm going to be thinking about this the entire time I'm driving to NC.  Maybe I'll catch the encore presentation in the afternoon.
