Yul Brynner is yummy in The King and I, isn’t he? And I don’t even like bald heads.
Plus:
King: You will order the finest gold chopsticks.
Anna: Your Majesty, chopsticks?
King: I make mistake, the British not scientific enough to know how to use chopsticks.

Bwah! That’s almost as good as the moon quote in It’s a Wonderful Life.

Jimmy Stewart. He’s the guy in _It’s a Wonderful Life_. But, just because I know his name doesn’t mean I watch that movie. I mean, really. It’s not such a great movie. I’m a _White Christmas_ kind of girl myself. Even though it’s not a fantastic movie either. But it does have Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. And the memories of watching it every year with my sisters.
“I’m dreaming of a White Christmas, with every Christmas card I write.”
Almost time to relax by the Christmas tree.
Nope, MMM, haven’t seen any of those movies. I just catch whatever’s on the classic movie channels at 2 a.m.
Actually, PPP, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen It’s a Wonderful Life all the way through. It’s like whatcha call it, the “I don’t give a damn” movie. You don’t have to actually see it—it just seeps into your conscious. Which is just as well, because I don’t want to see the Rhett Butler one.
Wouldn’t mind seeing the moon scene in Wonderful Life again this year, though.
“And then you can swallow it.”
Heeee! That’s still funny.
I’m ready to talk about something else now . . .
Something else.
Last day of teaching was yesterday. It went well—they did evals. We’ll see how those go. I’m a bit worried (though sometimes I’m not). I had a kid ask if I could e-mail him his grade. I said no, it’s against university policy (they are very stickler on this). And he said, “Well, my other teachers do it, and to protect my privacy they use my student ID number rather than my name.” I responded, “No, I can’t. Against university policy” but I was thinking, “How in the hell is having your name and e-mail address, and your student ID number plus your grade—all together—protecting your privacy?
Ugh.
But, I really am happy and content right now, despite that. I am still celebrating that my article deadline was pushed back six months 
It really is horrible having the deadline during finals week. My end of the semester just got infinitely less stressful. And I’m so happy about that.
Sorry, MMM. These arent’ quite juicy topics. But they’re what’s on my mind.
But I am busy making campaign posters and can’t think of anything else to post, unless it’s about [censored] or [censored], which would totally give away the fact that [censored].
Sorry!
Something else’s something else. Or, back to square one . . .
My fave: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
“Don’t throw me down, Clark.”
But, I think I would shoot myself in the foot if I ever had to watch the sequel: Cousin Eddie’s Hawaiian Christmas, or some such. Oh, really, the most awful movie ever. . . (or is that “awfulest”?)
