The quarter is ending. Therefore, I am busy. I typed up about a hojillion sample exams for my linear algebra students this afternoon and evening. I still have to write the final. And things. And stuff. I'm busy.
To tide you over until I am no longer busy, here is something Nick showed me: Van Helsing in 15 Minutes.
Troy is three hours of buff men in leather skirts oiling up their nipples, and I mean that in the worst possible way. Sooooooo boring...
After seeing that, I read Dan Simmons' new-ish novel, Ilium. Despite having fewer instances of homoeroticism, I found it wildly more entertaining. Quick read. Cute robots. Lots of exposition. And John Clute has reviewed it.
I saw the director's cut of Donnie Darko last night. And I'll bet you didn't. Ha. Ha. Ha. (It's good; different, less confusing [which is not necessarily a good thing] but still good.)
Now I grade things.

It finally resolves the issue of Achilles & Patroclus. They were cousins, right? Totally cousins. COUSINS. Got that?
