My Philosophy prof. today, on 'Who Was Alexander The Great's Tutor,' as asked by a student:

"Aristotle was his tutor. Which just shows that even brilliant philosophers can have lousy students!"

See Liz fume. See Liz anger. See Liz steam out of her ears.

Sorry, but I have a soft spot for Alexander, and I'm pretty sure he was a lot of things, but 'lousy student' was not among them. Hello.

I hate that man. And if he compares America to Rome ONE MORE TIME, I'm going to lose it.

In still crappy news, "The West Wing" just keeps declining and declining. Last night's episode was such total crap. The dialogue is not concise, it's boring, it has no purpose, and the stories are turning more and more pro-Bush, it seems, which is making me twitch and retch. It's subtle, but it's there, and soon, Leo will become even more unrecognizable than he is now. Josh is almost being written out, Will, who's actually a great character, is barely there, and all it is war, war, war. Or eminent war. Or metaphorical war. Or whatever war. We later watched an old episode (last season's season finale, I think) and oh my God, the quality of that show. That was an amazing episode. Everything was there. Everyone was there. It was just...so good. Fucking John Wells. He ruined the show.

I promise this is the last time I'll bitch about this, but had to get it out.

But it's Thursday! Which means that tomorrow is Friday, and then it's the weekend. How can that not be happy?

Americans have WAY better food than the Romans. I think I'll have some of your "McDonald's" for lunch, actually!!!

Ok, that's true about the food, though I don't think I'd count McDonald's as a big accomplishment on that count. However, I do enjoy me some... *tries to think of a truly American meal that enjoys that did not come from another country* *fails* *thinks of deserts* APPLIE PIE! Oh, yeah, baby. A la mode, no less.

Yum.

Can I beat your professor up?

Please?

I'll totally help you. He is SUCH an ass, words fail me. Most of the time, I just sit at the back of the class and glare him down, occasionally shaking my head. I don't take notes out of principle. He has NOTHING INTELLIGENT TO SAY.

It's not too late to be tasteless bitches like us and watch Alias or Gilmore Girls or Angel or whatever's on at the same time The West Wing is. Of course, maybe I'm just trying to be mean by getting you hooked on Angel a scant nine or so episodes before its cancellation. I'm mean like that. But it amazes me that "DON'T SUCK" is a concept that constantly eludes TV producers. Don't suck. It's that simple. That's why Carnivale and The Sopranos and Sex and the City and Buffy and (apparently, cause I never done watched it) old-school West Wing are big. Because they Don't Suck!

Your professor obviously needs to take Don't Suck 101 as well. Maybe you can tell him it's in the continuing ed. catalogue and you think he could benefit. (And then there's always the end-of-year review. Not that I ever put, "At the end of my life, I'm going to want the 24 hours I spent in this room back" on one of those or anything.)

OMG LIZ!!! Click pretty pretty icon pretty!!!!! (http://www.livejournal.com/users/wayfairer/360090.html?thread=5692058#t5692058)

I am NOT getting sucked into Angel. I hate David Boreanaz (sp?) and I'm very indignant that he went to college in my hometown. Bastard. Actually, I also hear it SUCKS and, well, that's quite enough for me. :-P I think "Don't Suck!" is a very good message to send to producers. Maybe they should bring Aaron Sorkin back and move ths whole shebang to HBO, where the liberals seem to dwell, instead of NBC, who are just posers. ER has been total shit for, like, five years now. Or something. "Law & Order" is even becoming more right-wing, which is total BULLSHIT, because it's the show one of whose main characters - a macho NYC cop - PUNCHED A CITY OFFICIAL BECAUSE HE WAS A HOMOPHOBE. Nuff said, I love Logan.

My professor needs to go back to school and be taught by better people. He's an ass. I am so quoting you on this, by the way. Oh yeah.)

Oh, and nice icon. Hehe. Hehehe. Heh.

Dude, Angel does not suck. Okay, it sucks occasionally. But when it sucks, there is glory in teh suck!
I hate David Boreanaz
Who, Fat David B.? Heh heh, I didn't make that up but it's funny. Heh heh heh.

My neighbor's probation just ended. He was on probation for, much like Law and Order dude, beating the crap out of a homophobe. My neighbor rules!

Dear Mr. Liz's Professor;

"Italy has an over-life-size glamour which still lingers; when all Italians were conscious exponents of beauty and all statesmen Machiavellian. Surely this country should be mourned over, which produced so many illustrious men and emperors, so many leaders in war, which was the nurse of so many excellent rulers, the parent of so many and such great virtues, the mother of so many good arts, the country from which flowed military discipline, purity of morals and life, the decrees of the law, the models of all the virtues, and the knowledge of right living. She who was once mistress of the world is now, by the injustice of fortune, which overturns all things,not only despoiled of her empire and her majesty, but delivered over to the basest servitude, misshapen and degraded, her ruins alone showing forth her former dignity and greatness."
-Poggio Bracciolini, Lament On the Ruins of Rome

STOP STEALING MY COUNTRY'S JOB.
