Bad news first? I live in Texas. Yesterday was voting day (for the record, I voted last week like the good little citizen I am). As one who lives in Texas, my vote once again meant nothing, nothing at all. I don't particularly want to get into politics here, but oh it makes me sad.
Good news? I have a green light for my Master's Report topic and I am now working with an intimidatingly cool (but very helpful) professor. I. am. excited. Okay, I know I'm saying I'm excited right now and I know that in, oh, four months or so I am going to eat these words, but, come on, at the end of next semester I'll have my Master's in American lit and my actual report is a topic I've been interested in since undergrad. Hooray life! Hooray grad school! Hooray ME! Interested in my paper topic? I didn't think so... (though I will say I study race & ethnicity in fin de siècle and 20th century lit) But anyway, I'm so incredibly excited to be working with this particular professor. Because I am a nerd. And those are the things that excite nerds.
Also, I finished watching The Wire last night. Anthony and I worked our way through the series and I am heartbroken now that it's over. This seems to happen to me every time I watch a series in its entirety within the span of a couple of months. Seriously, I teared up three different times during the final episode. I'm a loser. NO! The show is just that good. So watch it.
so i hear the six feet under finale was A M A Z I N G. i never watched the show so just for kicks, we netflixed the season 1 disc 1 and it didnt do it for me. but i dont want to give up just yet. tell me, did the show get better as it went?
ReplyDeleteHaha I just left you a comment on your post. The first few episodes were ROUGH, I can't lie. Eventually they get rid of those bizarre commercials for funeral home products (I'll never understand those). It's a depressing show, that never changes, but it's still excellent. It will go to some pretty dark places, but I think that in the end it's still a hopeful show.
