Class in two days! Ah!
Um, the SuperBowl! They are watching it! Only, Kathy is asleep, Jose is fixing his bike and I'm eating grapes. Grapes, I tell you, they are the very grapes of WRATH.
Oh, I read Equus,by Peter Shaffer, which is rather amusing. I think it's meant to be watched- it would probably be pretty powerful. However, Harry Potter is in it and also, he will be naked.
Um, also read Freakonomics, which is awesome, and on Goldstein's recommendation am following it up with The Armchair Economist, which is also interesting though slightly more technical.
Oh, and I read You Are Not a Stranger Here by Adam Haslett, which was a very good albeit ridiculously depressing set of short stories on the recommendation of trinityofone. Leaves you feeling kind of empty afterwards, but totally worth it.
And since I seem to be doing a general A&E review, I have watched The Departed (most aptly titled movie EVER) and The Queen, both of which I enjoyed quite a lot. I also watched Little Miss Sunshine, which I didn't like because it was like this huge indie movie gimmick written specifically for its target audience. But lots of people like it, so I suppose you have to judge for yourself.

AHAHA grapes of wrath. Funnily enough, grapes of wrath jokes are so much better than Grapes of Wrath the book.

I Super Bowled for all of 30 seconds this morning before I got bored. But seeing as Indiana or whatever won I think I'll be hearing about it on Leteterman for the next 410928 years.

Also, I want to see/read Equus just so I can take the Potter cracks to a whole new level. The end.

So like, Steven Levitt was sitting an armswidth away from me at lunch three days ago. He is a very adorably messy eater.

You're never online anymore! It has been too long. Am sad.
