Tomorrow begin my classes. Strictly speaking classes started today, but evidently Tuesday will be my Mahler day, my day off. The first day of English 101 is pretty much scripted out, so i haven't really much to do. I will walk in, briefly perform, and give an in-class writing assignment that lasts the rest of the class.
After class
i've got another class, this one where
i'll be a student. 'Introduction to the Modern' or some such (
i've just
snuck in, barely).
Currently
i'm registered for three different classes, though
i'm told i only ought to take two (two, i can't imagine what
i'll do with myself taking just two classes, the U of C schedule has set me up for a strong feeling of underachieving no matter how much work
i'm doing). I'll likely end up dropping my German Lit after 1963 course, which won't be such a loss as i don't think i can take
die neuen Leiden des jungen Werthers again.
Friday,
i'll be looking forward to (after teaching again) another installment of Men's Club. All are welcome to Milwaukee's local chapter, and it should prove to be an interesting crowd. With a crowd ranging from fashion design majors to English PhD candidates with folks scattered in between.
In other news,
Roman Numeral J is sponsoring another reader contest (that's right
another, check the archives). As some of you may know,
brooke and i recently came into a
Wii. Our collection of
Miis is as yet underdeveloped. And so, a
joel trivia question (the winner will have an honorary
Mii created {a
Mii, for you uninitiated, is a
cartoonish version of a person that plays various games on the
Wii} of them) The question is: What is the most recent alcoholic beverage
purchased by
joel? For the purposes of this quiz, "purchase can be purchased for me by someone else, but the most recent beverage, whether it be at a bar, liquor store, or guy in a parking lot. The answer will change and will be checked based on time i check answers. As a bonus, if you can also name the brand you will gain an extra
Mii (you can choose anyone you like, as long as i know what they look like or you can provide a picture).
Ok, good luck, and good luck. Enjoy the coming week, and get your Men's Clubs planned now. Remember, all you need to do is have a few cocktails between the hours of 5 & 7 pm CST (i decree that times move back a bit to accommodate working-
ness) and wear a tie (preferably bad).

Thanks for the tip, Joel! I'm always looking for new and interesting music...the more foreign, the better. I heard you are just starting up school again! Hope all is going swimmingly.
all is swim, except for that my classes seem to suck. But that may just be everyone but me.
Vodka. Your most recent alcohol purchase was vodka. Russian standard, mabe?
ohhh, very good guess, David, and frequently a winner (although Russian Standard vodka has become somewhat hard to find in Wisconsin since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022).
You can guess again in a week!
