More? Well, I'm a nontraditional student with two yappy dogs and a quasi cat (she's not really mine, just hanging out for a while). School was exciting the first semester, but now it's a TREMENDOUS drag. (my apologies if you are a professor, but come on....liven it up a bit, why don't you!)
oh... if I can bore you with any more minutia, drop me a note below.

For lack of something more festive, I have decided to list my top five movies for the year.
Let me add that "The Village Barbershop", "Paris 36", "Gran Torino", "The Secret LIfe of Words" and "The Wrestler" made the short-list. As always, this is just my opinion and you should asses for yourself the appeal of any that you have not seen.
There is a new 2000 character limit on posts. Hence this split message.
Happy Christmas!

P.S.
Here is the text from the BBC web site:
Portman will play a zombie-slaying version of Elizabeth Bennett. Natalie Portman is set to slay the undead in a movie adaptation of best-seller "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," it is reported. Portman will play feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet, according to trade publication Variety. The novel, by Seth Grahame-Smith, takes Jane Austen's classic and adds a new subplot in which the story takes place as the dead rise from the grave. The five Bennett sisters are all trained in deadly martial arts. Portman is also set to produce the film for Lionsgate. "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," which was first published in April 2009 by Quirk books, got to number three on the New York Times best-seller list. A prequel has been announced, "Dawn of the Dreadfuls," which is due to be published in March 2010. Quirk books have also released another novel based on an Austen work, entitled "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters."

It is delightful that you have emerged from your dark tunnel into the light!
Good luck with the control freak. All you can really do is scratch your tally of days into the stone wall of your cell, as you dream of freedom (and perhaps revenge), like The Count of Monte Cristo.

P.S. I have also seen nothing of "Pam & Jim" this season. I am waiting until next fall when I can watch the episodes on Netflix, without commercials.
I feel rather badly that you troubled yourself with such a long letter when it is clear that you are swamped. The time will come when my job will require a long hiatus at my end. I am relieved, not peeved that you got busy yourself. That will make us even, over the long haul.
My French is not good enough to watch French films without subtitles. Oddly, however, I do enjoy French films with subtitles more than, say, German or Dutch films, with subtitles. The French just sounds familiar and correct, in my ear.
It is a bummer that you were paired with a control freak. When I was a kid at school, it often occurred to me, several times a day, that some of my teachers had chosen a profession (perhaps unconsciously) that would allow them to capriciously boss people around (because kids have fewer rights). As you must know, there is no solution beyond gritting your teeth. Sorry.
The possibility of not finding a job is also a bummer. There is little I could write that would not be a platitude. Suffice to say that I do believe in optimism.
When I moved from Connecticut, I left my television behind. In the same spirit, I try to watch very little IW television. Mostly, I just watch "The Office" -- often fast-forwarding to the Jim & Pam parts. One weekend, I was fed-up with my research and watched an entire season of "The Legend of The Seeker" back-to-back. That is the only television that I have watched at Netflix. The absence of commercials delights me!
To be honest, I was dubious about most of the replies to my thread. One person suggested that perhaps the digital IW file had become corrupted and that Netflix had not bothered to "re-scan" the disk (for lack of the right term). It still seems suspicious that the only unavailable episode is the one with the word "gay" in the title.
I am getting busier as Christmas exams approach. Please do not feel that you must write a long reply. I will not have the time to repay you in kind.

P.S. On the subject of Jim & Pam, I have completed another chapter in my graphic novel (see attached)

I'm still crazy-go-nuts busy here so it's great that you seem occupied.
