Round Up at the OK Corrall

Item: I have a horrific headcold. Also sore throat and general malaise. I deeply and sincerely apologize to those of you whom I may have infected with the plague on Saturday night. On the other hand, don't you think plague germs added to the Spooky Forest Theme?

Item: Speaking of which, our Halloween party rocked, if I do say so myself. I think everyone had a nice time! It also gave me a good sense of how many folk can fit into our apt. which is happy news for later shindigs. Costume highlights included our friend Andy who came as a laundry basket; magnetgirl as Elphaba from Wicked; faris_nallaneen as Halloween Scrooge complete with grey wig, obesity pamphlets and a basket of toothbrushes, apples and raisins.

Item: Yeshiva University is going kind of eh. I had a craptastic observation in which the kids were super-silent, and the observer (in front of the boys!!!) informed me that they were "playing" me - and that I needed to be much stricter, and humiliate them in front of the class when they obviously hadn't done the reading, and that I was too nice. Prof. Snape, I am not, I guess. I hate being found fault with, and I have to go back and see those kids in about two hours. Grrrrr. How humiliating.

Item: I am so behind on my prospectus! However, I have finally switched fields, and am now doing kidlit for reals! Yay! Now simply to get to work...

Item: And now, television. Soothing balm to my soul...spoilers for most recent episodes under the cuts.
