It is a glorious Thanksgiving weekend. Glorious because I don't have to go to school. Otherwise I kind of detest the use of the word "glorious." It seems like it belongs to a religious person, and I am not.

I got to see the first episode of "Summer Heights High" yesterday, and it made me laugh and laugh. It's an Australian comedy on HBO and stars one actor playing the major roles, a la Tracy Ullman. He's very funny and the show is about the rotten personalities that make up high schools (and junior highs). I can't wait to start watching the rest of the shows. Which is more than I can say for "True Blood," which I am also enjoying and hoping will become cracklingly good. I like its setting a lot, and the actors are good. But now that Sookie knows that Sam is a shape-shifter, what else will keep the suspense alive?

And how will "Twilight" compare to "True Blood"? They seem to be practically the same story, although one was clearly written by a Mormon and the other clearly wasn't.

Anyway, it's been a nice Thanksgiving break. Our school takes off Wednesday, so it's like a bonus day, and that makes me very happy. I'm sure the students are happy, too.

Does anybody put a comma before "too" anymore?

I'm going to revisit comma usage upon return. Won't that be fun?

Hi, Ms. Inge. Are you any relation to one of my favorite playwrights, Wm. Inge? I'm glad you had some respite from your busy (Is busy too mild of a descriptor?) schedule. Thanks for looking in on my blog. By the way, how can you tell that one of the vampire stories was written by a Mormon? Also, are you by any remote chance a fan of Battlestar Galactica? I believe that it reflects some Mormon beliefs as well.
