Decided to go ahead and see The Force Awakens. Bought an ticket today for the noon showing tomorrow at a theater that has reserved seating.  I found the idea annoying at first cos I like to theater hop and having numbered seats prevents that, but in cases of popular movies like this, I embrace the idea.  No one wants to stand in line for tickets ( Read more... )

Agents of SHEILD was pretty decent in it’s season opener tonight. They are pushing ahead at full speed with the Inhumans story line and the special effects budget has been increased, so that’s good.  I read that this season is adapting the Secret Warriors comic series, so I am curious how that will turn out ( Read more... )

First day of semester today.  One of my online classes started today, the other will begin in October.  They are 8 weeks long whereas on campus classes meet for 16 weeks.  This month is Childcare Management.  I hate it.  I registered for it in December, but dropped it along with the other online course, Infant and Toddler Development ( Read more... )

So, first day of classes for winter term were today.  Originally, I had classes on Monday, too, but dropped those because it is fucking freezing this year, and I don’t like driving 40 minutes to campus anyway, let alone in subzero temperatures.  Plus the snow.  So, I dropped CPR and American Sign Language 3. (again.)  I will try to take ASL 3 in ( Read more... )

Did I mention I saw Henry Rollins on October 17?  Such a great guy.  Love his stories and his ideas about the world.  Third time I have seen him, and will see him again.

There was a lady I met online.  I complimented her hair and smile, just to be nice, and moved on.  Our profiles didn't give me the impression we had much in common.  Even so, she ( Read more... )
