Finals week

In which blogging will have to be secondary to reading 33 undergraduate essays and eleven graduate seminar papers.  (This also means that all postings this week will represent instances of the GAP, or Grading Avoidance Phenomenon.) But I do have two things planned for the near future-- a small treatise on what to do with one’s third-party desires when you’ve got a Democratic presidential nominee taking positions on Cuba and Israel that are indistinguishable from (because identical to) the positions of the Republican nominee, and (in a bold innovation for this site) a readers’ poll.

In the meantime, a metapost about metablogging effluvia.  Apparently one of the search strings that has led people here recently is the following Zen poem:

calgary flames mustaches

I know this must have something to do with Lanny MacDonald.  But that doesn’t make it any less weird.

UPDATE:  All right, now somebody’s looking for ”Martin Gelinas hair color.” I am not making this up.  This can’t be a coincidence-- someone out there is messing with me.  Next it’ll be “Theoren Fleury eyebrows” or “Jarome Iginla three-day stubble.” I’m onto your little game, you Calgary Flames hair-configuration obsessive.

But congrats to the Flames on a brilliant series against the Red Wings.  I still think the Sharks will pull it out in seven against the Avalanche, but then again, Joe Sakic is my favorite player in the league and I don’t doubt that he can beat San Jose singlehandedly.
