The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

An update on this earlier post:

In my international relations class, with the most idiotic and incoherent teacher I've ever had in my life. I'm pretty sure I'll come out of this class stupider than I was before I signed up for it.

The professor is an airhead with the vocabulary and grammar of a 3rd grader. She constantly speaks in run-on sentences, making it impossible to maintain one's attention span throughout half of her statements. There's no structure to her lecture whatsoever - she just brings up a topic, then goes into a long string of anecdotes and stories with no hint of what she'll be testing on. She doesn't emphasise any key points or terminology. It's just a giant, three hour long onslaught of verbal diarrhea. And to top it all off, she doesn't put any notes on the board, doesn't bring any slides, powerpoints, or any other visual aids.

I hope she gets nothing but inflammatory teacher evaluations at the end of the semester, after which she is promptly fired and branded on her forehead with the words "SHITTY TEACHER", in warning to the rest of the academic community.

I received the following e-mail from one of the students tonight, through the class mailing list:

I just spoke to our professor and she has been summarily fired. At this point there is no information on if the class is cancelled. Try contacting your advisors or someone from VCU to see what's going on because she has not been told anything.

^woa

On vacation. Gonna kick ass. My goals are to get better at tapping and pinch harmonics and to raise my practice SAT scores. About to watch the finale of season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (don't knock it till you've tried it - Joss Whedon is a fucking genius). And on the subject of Joss Whedon can I just strongly recommend that everyone rent Firefly, the most brilliant tv series ever. Check it out, even if you don't like sci fi.

Someone explain the storyline to Lost to me.

A plane full of passengers crashes on an island (supposedly) in the South Pacific. This is a very, very, very weird island. Like, really, really fucking weird. The Island is full of mysteries and secrets, and it soon becomes apparent that each of the survivors was brought to the Island for a reason. I capitalize "Island", by the way, because the Island is very much alive and seems to have a "mind" of its own.

This show fucking rules, but it can be frustrating (THIS FUCKING SHOW!), because it heaps tons of mysteries on the viewer and slowly, sort-of reveals the answers behind some of them. TONS of unanswered questions, some even remaining from season 1. But I have no doubt that we'll learn the answers eventually.

Bottom line: It is very interesting, intricate and involved. It's pretty heavy. If you want to start watching it, you'll have to go pick up or borrow Season 1 on DVD and start from the beginning. If you, remember to pay attention. The show is very deliberate. Everything matters, even what may seem like minor details.

(Obviously I love this show, btw.)

Likewise. We never have found out what Locke said to Walt in his "secert" when playing backgammon.
 
Well, I wasn't bad. I was in the school orchestra and took private lessons, so I was decent. If I played now I would need to warm up a bit.

We still don't know how the fuck the Black Rock got where it is, or what happened to Rousseau's crew, the nature of the Numbers, why Christian Sheppard was not in his coffin, etc.

Then there's the big fucking foot... But that was season two.

Edit:

Oh, yeah! And Walt! I mean... what the fuck? Walt becomes much more interesting when you watch the "Room 23" mobisode (http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Room_23_%28mobisode%29).

If you haven't seen the mobisodes, they are pretty cool. If you follow the "watch this mobisode" link on that page, it'll take you to the ABC site and it will play the latest mobisode, so you'll have to go the menu under the video and pick "Room 23".
 
I then picked up guitar while I still played. Now I just play guitar, and sing with what ever I'm listening to. Maybe I should pick up the violin again and combine it with some riffs.

So it's kinda like Gilligan's Island then?
