Random New Year Notes

I'm teaching the same thing in 2 different classes out of two different textbooks. Sounds easy, right? Except that the two textbooks use different terms to mean the same thing and I keep switching terminology which is very confusing for the students. Not sure what to do about it. Either way is correct, but I really wish I could stick with just one.

I've been listening to the radio more recently but I keep hearing Nickelback and All American Rejects. There's Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas too, which is fun, but I also keep getting that Taylor Swift song stuck in my head (Update: My daughter just finished practicing piano so now I have Chopin stuck in my head which is much better). It's a way to pass the commuting time, but I might go back to my Learn Italian disks.

Just not getting into Top Chef this time, and So You Think You Can Dance was more fun during the summer. Anybody watch Bored to Death?
