I must have been wound up tight for the last three months, because after finishing grading yesterday, I thought I’d be able to relax and do some fun productive stuff. Nope. Brain melty. Joints achey. Everything hurts, but simultaneously so sluggish the pain can’t get too acute.
Oh well, the student complaints about their grades are already trickling in, so the tension will tighten back up to normal soon.
“A Recipe for Seduction,” a Lifetime Original mini-movie:
Hard to believe, but it is real, and just as tawdry as you might expect. It’s actually a maxi-commercial.
KFC had teamed up with Lifetime to deliver its own holiday mini-movie – “A Recipe for Seduction,” which will air on the Lifetime channel on Sunday.
The 15-minute mini-movie (or jumbo-commercial) features Mario Lopez, who has also starred in other Lifetime features such as “FelizNaviDAD.” Lopez will take on the role of Colonel Harland Sanders in the film.
It’s getting a lot of press, so it’s already successful…which means we can expect more cheesy depictions of company mascots appearing in bad miniature dramas. Look for the Borger King to appear in one of those Hallmark holiday movies with royalty, or the Little Caesars guy to show up on the History channel, or McDonald’s Grimace on Shudder.
But I’m done! All grades submitted!
That wraps up one hella long semester.
I went out for an early morning walk today, and was brought up short by this reminder of the terrible Minnesota Pyroclastic Mud Flow of 1998…an entire family wiped out, leaving behind only these imprints from their flailing, panic-stricken limbs.
Maybe I’m projecting, though, with a lot of flailing going on here as I dread having to buckle down and finish all my grading. I think I can get it all done today if I push hard.
This is a huge grading day — final grades are due on Wednesday. But I took a brief break this afternoon to take a few pictures on this frosty foggy day.
This is my favorite photo, though.
That’s a screenshot of the piece of the Canvas window for my cell biology class: usually, that big white space lists all the assignments awaiting grading. They’re done! Nothing left to grade! It hasn’t been that clear since mid-September!
Cell bio is done, two more classes to go (they were much smaller than cell, though, so they won’t take as much time.)
Listen. You aren’t allowed to write erotic fiction if all you know about human anatomy was learned from playing with a Barbie doll.
This one looks a lot like the virtual one that has manifested in my office.
Mine is now about half that size, because I’ve been making progress on chopping it down.
Stop by and say hello!
