It was a beautiful, beautiful day today...The sun was shining, the mountains were jagged, Alanis Morissette was hundreds and hundreds of miles away...It was the sort of lovely springy day that just begs you to go have a nap under a tree somewhere where you could be reasonably confident your wallet wouldn't wind up stolen. And I was stuck indoors typing up a midterm exam.

I think it's a really easy exam, but then I would, wouldn't I? Either the students will agree, or it'll make them bleed through the nose and rectum. I suppose we'll find out tomorrow, won't we?

PS...This week's copy of The Friday Thing came! For your reading pleasure: behold the arrest of a necrophile in California named Mahdi Allah, caught passed out atop the corpse of a granny in a funeral home. Invent your own wildly-offensive Islamophobic headlines to accompany the story. Hours of fun are to be had.
