Weirdly, it seems the first girl-girl kiss was a forgotten episode of 21 Jump Street that gets passed over, because everyone seems to like talking more about LA Law being a groundbreaker.

I've noticed a groundswell of support for Crowe's work.  (Four people is so a groundswell—look it up.)  It feels nice to know that everyone actually was wrong about that.

I just submitted a paper for an academic conference!

Yes.

I had two board-low rankings here (for BP and ItF), but I'm weirdly excited that three of my bottom four episodes (including my #71) still haven't been revealed yet.

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION TIME

"You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."

I feel like I may have skewed things somehow…or, contrariwise, that my rankings were so far outside the norm, they ended up having no significant impact on the results. Weirdly (or so I thought), only one of my bottom seven episodes has been revealed so far, and I had two overall highest rankings in the (I think)…

My junior year of HS, I finally wore down a girl I'd been crazy about since I was in second grade, and she agreed to go to the prom with me.  (She was a year ahead of me.)  So we went to prom, and I was so overjoyed to be there with someone I'd been chasing for almost ten years at that point, and about halfway through…

The loss of Christina more than makes up for the lack of CeeLo.  I'll miss him, but if that's the price to pay for no more Xtina, so be it.

I hope they're being compiled, but I fear they're being consigned to ther ether.  We've done some really kickass stuff here, haven't we?

Can't disagree much…I had this sneaking suspicion since the performance show Monday that Nicholas was getting the "You're the best performer, but obviously won't win, so here—we're going to let you have the best performances" treatment.  (Flaming piano?  Smokey Robinson?  Yes, please!) It just bums me out that the…

CZ10: How I Met Your Mother
 
After the mid-season finale of HIMYM last night, there was a lot of talk (including a certain review on this here website) about how the show has been playing an unapparent til now masterful long game, has experienced a renaissance, has rediscovered its brilliance…whatever you want to call…

Ok, I'm convinced.  I think it's time to post my long-delayed HIMYM CZ10.  Expect it sometime this afternoon.

Mazel tov!  The whole thing's been a farce—I learned last Tuesday that I had to either defend by the end of the current semester, or have no funding for the next semester, so I hurriedly made a bunch of corrections to my second draft to try and get it into a workable state, and tried to find a time for five professors…

Well, it's been a whirlwind, but I finally, officially, have a time set up for my dissertation proposal defense.  This thing has been kicking my rear, and it's nowhere near ready, but circumstances arose, and I'll be defending in two days.  Honestly, the whole thing is driving me a little a lot crazy, and I've got a…
