Turned out the answer was no but MacGruber was a fun surprise!
I wonder if Glenn Powell’s SNL promo alluding to Christopher Walken means we’ll see him take on one of Walken’s iconic SNL characters in some form.

I have been laboring under the incorrect assumption for much of my day that the semester is going into week 14/15 and that Thanksgiving break is far more imminent than it is. Alas, it is week 13/15, and thus I have several more days of toiling before Big Turkey Time™️. Woe!

Today: grading all morning, taking a break for Pilates right now, then grading all afternoon. At least it’s gorgeous and sunny! ☀️😎

Ah, it's only 2:30, and the smaller of my two cats, who always goes absolutely insane around 3:30-4 pm, is at his shenanigans early! What a joy, what a sweet prince. He is a delight, I say through clenched teeth as I peel him away from knocking my computer into my coffee.

I’m convinced the tech bros invented LLMs because someone gave one of them a bad grade on their paper analyzing the Saw
movies and they’re still bitter.
movies and they’re still bitter.

Very proud of myself for doing Pilates at home at lunch! It was a great little workout, and I feel amazing.

No TRX for me due to snow. It's been a minute since I did a workout at home, and I got out of that habit because the peer pressure of studio workouts seems to be good for my ability to work a little harder. I shall just have to be my own coach today!

Today: WFH due to snow. If the snow is better this afternoon, I have a TRX class. I truly, truly HATE snow. LOATHE it. Always have. Winter generally is my least favorite season, and I don’t appreciate it sneaking into the middle of fall.

People who love snow have bosses who don’t make life hard for them if they can’t get to work. It is absolute classism to love snow.

Just got back from a yoga workshop and feel very relaxed and uninterested in getting up and on with my day. 🧘♀️☮️🕯️

The academic job search for F26 is feeling a little futile, friends. Strongly considering a combo of adjuncting and freelancing. I did a fair bit of freelancing during the summer of 2020 before finding some really fantastic online teaching opportunities during the first full academic year... 1/

Elon Musk's plans to turn Tesla into a manufacturer of humanoid robots--complete with a robot army--is some nightmare apocalyptic science fiction stuff. Like, can we not do this? We already have other parts of Skynet. I desperately do not want the actual Terminators, please.

Today: teaching, then a yoga sculpt class, and tomorrow is WFH! It’ll be a busy one, though, with two Zoom meetings and a VERY early cardio sculpt class. But I am counting down the minutes until the weekend! 🎉

Today: work, then Pilates. Just one more day before I have my work-from-home day, which is no less busy or early, but at least there is no commute. After tomorrow, only 3 full weeks left in the semester. I am so excited for my break! I really want to make the most of it with tons of self care.

Really good day yesterday up until dinner: sunshine, music, a great TRX class. Dinner was honestly awful, made me feel gross, and now I’m questioning my entire approach to vegan meals, tbh.

GORGEOUS morning. I had an annual doc visit to make sure I'm still alive, and the good news is that I am and apparently functioning at extremely high capacity! Huzzah! I immediately made myself a huge, black coffee with super caffeine lol.

I have so much of West End Girl stuck in my head now. Heard a podcast talk about how the dichotomy between the catchy melodies and direct, blatant pain of the lyrics is Lily Allen’s signature way of using irony, and I couldn’t agree more. This should be adapted into a musical.

Had a great Pilates session last night. Tonight is a strength training class. Tomorrow and Friday, I couldn’t squeeze a studio class in around my schedule, so I’ll try to have enough discipline to workout at home on at least one of those days. Wish me luck!

Today: grading, grading, grading, then a cardio sculpt class at 1, then we'll see what happens! I slept 10 hours last night, probably due to exhaustion and being in desperate need of a solid day off.
