olds watching superbad

i just got back from a day of orientation at durham tech community college, where i'm teaching comp this semester and was goofing off on youtube when i found this movie review

i have another orientation on thurs at guildford college, where i'm also teaching. so the rest of the week is syllabus crazytime for me. i've been threatening to read midnight's children, but i'm moving at a pace of about 5 pgs per sitting. so i may never finish it, at all. sucky.
