Well folks, I'm procrastinating writing a lecture. As interesting as I might find British imperialism in India and Oceania, I hate having to use my free time to prepare a lecture on it that my students shouldn't need (it comes straight from the book) and aren't going to pay attention to anyway. So yeah, lame ( Read more... ) -

So, I'm pretty sure I'm going hunting with my brother. I discovered today that I can get a one-time permit without having to take the safety course. For the majority of people I'd say that is a terrible idea, but luckily I'm not an idiot and can use common sense. Also, no hunting member of my family has ever accidentally shot anyone.

Well, I capped an exhausting week, and a tiring (but fulfilling) day at work by beating a large spider to death with a flyswatter. In my defense, it was not one of those skinny-legged, smooth, awkward looking spiders that just sit quietly on their web in a corner until you blunder into them. This was one of those big, brawny, fuzzy, fast spiders ( Read more... )
