I have a couple of non-trivial posts I’ve been meaning to write here, but I can’t quite justify the time yet, hopefully I’ll get to it next weekend. I’m giving a lecture at 7:55 am on thursday, I’m sure it will be delightful. I’ve got a project due the night before, plus a lot of coding and research to do for that lecture, plus I really need to get some stuff done for work, too. I’ve spent over a week on the same bug, and I still can’t figure out why the memory is getting corrupted. I really hope I don’t have to go to my meeting on Wednesday and report I’m still working on the same thing.

I got sucked in to watching Heroes (“thanks” to Jon Howard), and now I’m sorta hooked, but I seem to hate approximately half the show. Maybe it’s the way they throw around all sorts of pretentious psuedoscience in all the narrator voice-overs. I don’t mind stories that go on for seasons (I’m a big fan of The Wire), but I don’t like it when everything seems to be a cliffhanger all the time. It just feels manipulative and makes me angry. Example: 24.

Product placement in The Office seems to cheapen it a bit, I think. Those new HP monitors they got for season two screamed placement as soon as I saw them (I was right, as far as I know). Lame.

30 Rock is sometimes really funny. Nobody believes me, but that’s ok. It’s not great, but it has some good parts.

Enough about TV, I’ve gotta get some sleep. 4 more 7:55 classes left…
