Crazy things

icepixieI got a form in my departmental mailbox today asking me to give the secretaries my preferences for 101 class meeting times next semester. This seems so unreal. In August, I will be teaching two classes. This summer, I will be constructing a syllabus. CRA. ZEE.
Further craziness, in the crazy-amazing sense, is the chicken recipe I cooked up last night. It's not really a recipe so much as a "throw all these things together in the amounts you think proper and cook" kind of deal, but it is OMNOMNOMish nonetheless. I took two giant frozen chicken breasts and put them in a pan, added about an eighth of a cup of olive oil--maybe more--I drizzled, basically--then the juice of two navel oranges (I think a few tablespoons of orange juice along with that would've been effective, but I didn't have any), and a chopped-up third of a sweet onion. Then I sprinkled garlic and rosemary liberally over the whole thing, and cinnamon not so liberally. I let it marinate/defrost in the fridge for twenty-four hours before sauteing everything in a frying pan. For my leftovers, I tried dipping bites of the chicken in honey, and that was good as well.
Apropos of nothing: in an attempt to procrastinate on annotating articles for my 505 project, I had an epiphanic understanding of the circle of fifths last night. I finally get what it's doing, and why it's a circle, and why everything on the circle is where it is. I'm sure there's much more I don't get, but that's kind of awesome anyway. (The reason I was looking such a thing up trails back to the music from last Friday's BSG. I want the soundtrack nooooooow.)
