Breaking Bad
I just finished watching all four seasons on Netflix and now I need to watch the beginning of season 5. However, my cable company only has episodes 4-7 from season 5 on On Demand. Anyone know where I can find seasons 1-3. I already checked Hulu.

Friday Hi-Fiver
I liked doing this last week and everyone else seemed to like it, so let’s do it again. Virtual hi-fives for the following:
tracingben - Every time I read the things you post about your son and the every day struggles you go through, I pause and think about students in my class who have special needs and what their lives must be like outside of my class. You inspire me to be more patient...

Frageelay: Joy for Julie's boy →
frageelay:
Jack has generously offered to receive mail on Ben’s behalf and will make sure he receives everything we send to him.

adriennemae:
I have a secret to share with all of you. It is a very well-kept secret and by sharing it with you, I am taking a risk. However, I hope to share it so poetically that this security breach will alarm no one and be celebrated by most.
Here is the secret.

If Janet Ran It: Free Bird! →
ifjanetranit:
I found an old interview with Cowboy Junkies’ lead singer Margo Timmins, and I enjoyed her answer to the question about songs everyone wants to hear.
Do you ever look at your catalog and say, Oh God, I never want to sing that song again? [laughs] Absolutely. And those are always the songs…

Thesis Update
I just read the course description and it says that the course will end in an “essay of 40-60 pages.”
Since I wanted to get as much done as possible during my summer vacation, I’m already at 30 pages and I’m only about 1/3 of the way through. Extra Credit?

Back to School
So today is back to school day for me.
“But aren’t you still in Buffalo?” I can hear ya’ll asking.
Well, yes. But it’s not back to school as a teacher today.
It’s more back to school in a Rodney Dangerfield kinda way.
After 13 years, I’m finishing my Master’s Degree in English by writing my Thesis and today is the first of two class meetings...
‘Pregnancy Begins 2 Weeks Before Conception’ Now... →
serina:
In Arizona, women are now legally pregnant two weeks before conception, according to a new law, the Orwellianly-named, “Women’s Health and Safety Act,” signed yesterday by Republican Governor Jan Brewer. The scientifically, medically, ethically, and intellectually dishonest legislation is designed to reduce the amount of time a woman is allowed to have a legal abortion, and is one of...
