Last week my spousal unit, the Alpha Geek, noticed some of my Income Tax printouts on the table. “What’s this?”

“Printouts from my income tax class.”

“Are they tests, or something?”

“No, just homework assignments.”

“Why are they all covered in red writing?”

“That’s where I went back and corrected them after she posted the answers.”

He boggled at me. “Nobody actually does that. You just check what grade you got and move on to the next homework assignment.”

“But then I won’t learn what I did wrong!”

Yeah, I hate ’em, but I still want to do it right, dammit.

George & Brad get hitched

Yep, with gay marriage now legal in California, George Takei and his long-time partner Brad Altman are making it official. And I’m just all full of squee about it because I think it’s great when people care about each other, and these two obviously do.

Not that this will stop me from making stupid jokes like “Let me be Frank.”

This morning I logged on to Blackboard to check my grade for the Week 2 assignment, and the Week 1 assignment had been changed from a 0 to 100. Looks like the instructor was willing to accept it, even though it was technically late.

I haven’t checked my school e-mail account yet, as my back is still up—I was all geared up to fight about it, and I don’t want to respond in that tone when the issue’s already been resolved.

Speaking of stress, The Artist has completed his driver’s ed class and is now chomping at the bit to get his learner’s permit. We’ll be going by the DMV tomorrow afternoon so he can take the written test. Just a head’s up in case you see fire raining from the heavens or the seas start to boil or anything.
