Counting the days before the semester ends. :D

Planetarium show at the Academy was spectacular followed w/ a dungeoness crab dinner and ended the night watching John Woo's RED CLIFF. :)

Taking the day off ... visiting the California Academy of Sciences and SFMOMA.

Finally found time to revise one of my articles this afternoon -- a full 3 hours. :D

So Bad ...

I'm such a bad blogger these past few months which could be a good thing since the less time I spend here musing on random things is more time for something productive like publishing or writing, for instance.

But I've been reduced to a form of micro-blogging via Twitter and Facebook, occasionally chiming in on some point from another poster, but nothing lengthy or substantive.

Little snippets here and there, still random thoughts, stream of consciousness posts, and "SQUIRREL!" (if you liked Pixar's movie UP).

I cannot wait until the semester is over.

More than half of my students failed their assignments ... either they did not understand it, or they ignored the instructions ... Grrrrrr.

It must be near the end of the semester because I felt that all my energy drained away during my lecture today.

Driving across the Bay Bridge after it reopened was the most enjoyable trip that I've had in a long time. The traffic was the lightest ever!

Spent Halloween watching ZOMBIELAND w/ a couple of zombies at the theater. Rly! Makeup & everything & it was a fun movie to watch too! :D

People are at their worst over getting the H1N1 vaccine even though they are technically NOT AT-RISK!!!

A delicious Japanese dinner at Manpuku followed by pumpkin-dulce de leche ice cream at Ici. A lovely way to end the week!

Came back from a public lecture by Donna Haraway ... WOW! I learned TONS!!!

Wait! Did you hear that? It's the delightful glee of a million Phillies fans this morning. :D

The only way to end a day long conference on aesthetics is happy hour at Nihon Whiskey Lounge in The City: http://ping.fm/i0IBZ

Came back from a performance art showcase featuring my friend's work. She was great! But I don't know what the @#$% I saw with the others.

Got to get my camera gear together. My friend is doing her performance piece tonight and her photographer had to cancel. This'll be fun. :D

A very sloooooow day today.

Correction: Museum of the African Diaspora. :)

Off to the Museum of the Black Diaspora where my friend is curating a show.

Came back from a public lecture by Anne Wilson, prof at Chicago Art Institute. It's ... "interesting." http://ping.fm/3rAIk
