Man, sometimes I get really nerdy about teaching. I just got unduly excited about the handout I put together for tomorrow’s class, and I won’t even tell you how giddy I was about Thursday’s PowerPoints (hint: my students were not as impressed). I guess that’s one sure sign I like my job.
In unrelated news: my new memory foam pillow is super spiffy, although, sadly it’s not going to cure all my ills. That doesn’t mean it’s not extremely comfortable, though. I kind of wish everything were made out of memory foam. When the day inevitably comes that I’m institutionalized, can my padded cell be made out of memory foam? I can sit in there and make literature handouts.
And to close out the evening, I give you this delightful piece of miscellany: mice sing ultrasonic mating songs! Turns out those legions of swoopy-haired teenage boys with acoustic guitars aren’t the only ones who figured they’d have a better chance with the ladies if they were “musicians.”

Padded memory cells!? Hmmmm Glad it’s working – a little -in the present. The future – will have to wait.
Indeed, and in the meantime, it’s very comfy.
I love my memory foam pillow. Whenever I sleep over somewhere else without it, on regular pillows, I immediately notice a difference and never sleep quite as well.
Aww! I just had this image of you carrying around a little portable memory foam pillow with you wherever you went.
