Celebrity Jesus

Yesterday I got my first round of papers to mark from my class that I'm TAing and I'm excited. I'm nervous about giving grades, but it's so interesting to read the work of these students that I've gotten to know over the last few weeks. Yesterday we had a lovely tutorial where we talked about sex ed. and I answered the question of why lesbian porn is attractive to men. Yay me! I make them laugh and they seem to enjoy it. Hopefully they still like me after I hand their papers back! It's also pretty amazing to see the range of entirely legitimate reasons people have for handing in their papers late, and the amount of bullshit people give you when they just didn't manage their time properly.

After my classes and meetings yesterday Jess and I went shopping. It was lovely. I bought $80 jeans on sale for $30. That's the way! And Jess bought a very shmancy dress. Then we came home to watch some cable-less tv and then hang around with Steve and his friends. It was a lovely evening! It's so funny that without cable the only channels that come in perfectly clearly are the Christian channel, and the Hollywood gossip channel. Apparently the powers that be feel that celebrity news and the Lord are all one needs for television satisfaction. Very tricky.

I think I may be tied to my books all weekend. I've already cancelled all of my Saturday plans and Sunday may also suffer. Bah.
