It's been a while. Spent a nice break in PA with my family and then flew home to immediately start the new quarter. I am teaching a composition through literature course and taking a seminar on posthuman narratives, which is hot. I am also writing my master's essay on manifestations of life in the american and european avant-gardes. I didn't realize how great self-determined research could be. This is what I've been missing thus far.
My friend sent me this story. I think it speaks for itself but, like a politician might do, I will give it a moral: TV is not only evil, it is dangerous. Get off your butt and read a poem.
A blanket apology: if you were expecting a christmas card from us and have not recieved one, it is because we are lazy. We bought the cards and postage but never got the chance to fill them out. Thankfully, they'll still be good for next year.

Did you get the email I sent you about the philosophy podcasts? Are podcasts evil? I can imagine you sitting around and listening to these podcasts instead of watching TV.
Looking forward to getting back to our cartoons next week.
