I don't get it. I don't prefer to work under pressure, but I accomplished more grading-wise in four hours Sunday night than I did for the entirety of spring break. Today, I've been uber-productive, having individual conferences with my students and getting more grading done in the 15-30 minute breaks between them. I've decided to reward myself with some lunchtime blogging.
While in Indiana, my friend Lij introduced me to Blogshares. Not only can I spend lots of time reading and posting on blogs, but I can turn that into cold, hard, fake dollars. Wonder how popular you and your online thoughts are? Now, there's a number! Buying and selling popularity the way it should be--through online links. I'm thoroughly amused, yet frightened that I'm just insecure enough to actually care what my 'stock' is worth.
Media update: in my spring break sloth, I watched: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (I wanted to like it more than I did. It had a great concept and was visually inovative and pleasing; I wish I'd seen it on the big screen. Sadly, Paltrow's character was so insipid I wanted to shove a fork through her larynx. The film just didn't realize it's potential.) Paparrazzi (Interesting, though disturbing. The good guy did bad guy things that made it difficult for me to feel bad for him when the bad guys did bad guy things to him.) Jersey Girl (Yeah! Quite amusing and still poignant. I'm far enough away from the marketing that the trailer stealing all the good parts wasn't so obvious. I have to say that whatever else there is to say about Ben Affleck he's movie star handsome, dreamy in an old Hollywood glam way.)
