Highlights

I can't wait to get back to my book. However, the semester ends in less than 2 weeks, and then I will be deluged by piles of grading. Without a doubt, inspiration will strike at that point. Right now, it's All Whiny Students All the Time time here.

I am battling the school district to get my son the support to which he probably is legally entitled (the school district has been withholding resources, apparently).

I watched Jade Warrior last night per  sovay  's recommendation; it was wonderful. Today I watched Der Dybbuk for the hundredth time. I will never, ever tire of this film (actually, could only watch about half so far - the other half awaits). Anticipating the exorcism scene, I wish yet again that the wonder-rebbe would sing.

shweta_narayan  's Tough Guide to Fantasyland's Exotic Locales is insightful, and funny in a painful way.
