Nott What You'd Expected...

Little Britain, Big World

As if Jane Austen readings, American Novel 2, and TV Cultures (trust me, there is work involved) weren't enough, I've become increasingly addicted to a tv show here in the UK called Little Britain... I've downloaded three seasons, and have managed to get zero work done in the meantime. I'll call it a cultural experience for now, but maybe some time around finals week I'll be regretting it....

The basic premise is that, as a sketch comedy show, there are reocurring characters, mostly played by two men... the costumes are amazing, the sketches are rediculous, and you'll feel more British having watched them.

Otherwise, life is slowly trudging along. Quiz over Jane Austen that destroyed me (i'm a bit behind in the reading.... i'm curious as to how Mark and Carol will react to my test, based on my b.s.'ed answers during our discussion this morning.

Eda and Katie left this morning. Last night wasn't quite as eventful as we would have hoped- Eda forgot her ID when we went to Oceana, so we took a cab back. On the plus side, we saw some guy get thrown out of the club like you'd only see in cartoons- lifted up, tossed out like a sack of potatoes (is it potatoes or potatos....Quayle has forever ruined this for me....)

It was sad to see them go, but i'm looking forward to a weekend (or more) in Granada, Espana.

Busy week ahead- MC paper, Yellow Wallpaper, CSI and 24 screenings in TV class, and more reading.... this weekend, trip to godknowswhere with Mark and Carol... Grandparent Countdown looking at around 8 or so days.... can't wait....
