I was supposed to play Super Mario Kart on my Wii this evening, but then that didn’t happen. (You know who you are.) I could have, however, worked on either of the two papers with pressing deadlines. Or I could have worked on my new, too-dorky-to-confess-to hobby project. Or I could have taken care of some financial matters that need my attention. Or I could have worked on plans regarding the one week summer course it looks like I will be teaching In Another Country (stay tuned for announcement on that). Or I could have at least worked out.
Instead, I spent an inordinate amount of time compulsively making slides for my grad stats class. A couple of them may even be novel ways of presenting some materials. This is not how I should be spending my time. Ugh, ugh. And still five weeks left after tomorrow.
Please cheer me up by telling me that the dipbother with the dreadlocks was voted off American Idol. I’m still at the office and LeechBlocked from news sites.
Update: Of course, within a minute of posting slides I notice a couple typos. I’m not reposting them.

Or, you could have read the draft of my paper and made comments. These slides look really fun, though. eek. I don’t think I could pass your class.
You must get fabulous evaluations with all that effort you put into your powerpoint slides (for both the graduate and undergraduate courses). I wish I had such energy and patience (oh, and your wii).
No idea about American Idol but thanks for the LeechBlock link.
Sorry to give you bad news, Jeremy, but it was Brooke.
the one week summer course it looks like I will be teaching In Another Country
The past? I hear the past is another country.
I now have a wii, btw.
Jessica: Not so much, I suspect. I need to do more with bringing practical stuff in, but I’m already spending time enough on the prep so that will have to be a focus of subsequent incarnations.
Shakha: Ugh. The guy with the dreadlocks continuing on is a bigger injustice than Bush v. Gore.
Kieran: Congrats on joining the Wii-hood!
