Some time earlier this year, I watched the first episode of Doctor Who, but I never really got into a it. I caught parts of a few episodes on one of the French cable stations this fall, and it seemed interesting enough, even in a language I don't understand, to warrant another go. This fall I watched the pilot of Moonlight and confirmed that Jason Dohring is still hot, but I wasn't completely sold on the series. Then I read an article a couple weeks ago that reported that Moonlight was one of the few new shows this season to gain viewers during October and November. That had to mean that the show got better over time, so I decided to give it a second chance as well.

Today was Mighty Ducks day! We gathered the LIS crowd together for a marathon of all three Mighty Ducks movies. We laughed, we cried (okay, not really), we made fun of Emilio's hair. There was also plenty of hot chocolate and Bailey's, eggnog, Captain and Coke, and enough chips to feed a small army.

What's we learn? Well, ducks fly together! And blonde people are evil. All the "bad" teams in the Mighty Ducks series are rich, blonde, WASPy types. Also, all movies should end with Queen's "We Are the Champions." These are important life lessons! Next week if class is really dumb, we're just going to quack at the professor. (Quack! Quack! Quack!) We really need an Emilio Estevez cut-out, like the one in D2 to bring to class with us.

This is really the first time I've had people over here, and it was a lot of fun. My LIS friends are a great group, and I love that we can all chill together and enjoy some classic 90s cheese! I'm a fan of low key entertainment.

Other than the Ducks, I really got nothing done today, but I expected that, so I got some work out of the way last night. I did one load of laundry... does that count as productivity? And some tragic news: another key popped off my keyboard today. The volume down key now joins the number 4 in the key graveyard. (They actually do pop back on, but for some reason volume down seems permanently crooked now.) Come on laptop, hold yourself together! Only one more month!
