Grades are mostly in.

Have posted the grades for the class I'm taing for. And they're mostly in and mostly done. I'm allowing for some leeway and some things to still be straightened up. But I can relax to a degree and breathe. And go to sleep. :) As the sun begins to rise. Oh ugh.

Watched the Charlie Brown Christmas which I still love. And did the chair dance to the music. And apparently I know the lines by heart.

Had a good 35th birthday gathering. Did it communally to save time and because my actual one was on Dec. 4th on a Sunday. (How banal). Went to Romanos with a bunch of friends (colleagues, previous students, etc.) and had goodly conversations. It was mostly amusing to see the people mix with each other. I wanted to switch sides to talk to the other side of the table. I'm such a social chica. (Though it was a tad bit awkward when one of my colleagues was giving Zach, student/friend. some vague career advice. That was not my intent. How 'bout those Redskins? No, Suns?). Had a nice chianti. There's cake left over.

We also saw Narnia. Which I liked, though I think the Pevensies should get some major therapy after this. And the amusing, overalliterative name Peter Pevensie just dawned on me. And Tilda Swinton's channeling the Borg Queen. However, the casting of Edmund was quite perfect. (If the boy has a brother or a cousin, he could be Eustace). He's got the peevish English schoolboy thing down to perfection. Reminded me of the actor who played Turlough on Dr Who. Maybe it's because of the similar type of characters.

As i'm pretty much on fumes metaphorically and physically, night all. Have much to still do.
