Sigh Fi

Honestly, I understand Sci Fi’s desire to become more mainstream–they want to make more money.  They feel they’ve pigeonholed themselves by marketing only towards a niche audience.  But seriously, come on…  Syfy just sounds ridiculous.  And really, who’re they trying to fool?

Realistically, I suppose it doesn’t really make much difference for me.  If there’s a show I want to watch, I’ll watch it regardless of the network.  Then again, I assume I’m not the audience this new branding is suppose to attract.  Considering who it is supposed to attract, it’s probably only a matter of time before they start playing reruns of The Hills.

Summer School and The Office

I’ve already completed one summer school class, an intercession course based around Bloom’s Taxonomy. Right now, I’m taking two more classes, and I’ll have another one start and end before summer is complete. That’s a total of four classes, three of which have already begun.

This might sound crazy, but it’s the truth. Each of those three classes has had a unique relationship with NBC’s The Office. I will list.

Class 1. The professor describes herself as being from “the Scranton, Pennsylvania area.”
Class 2. The inscription on the professor’s bookbag reads “Houghton-Mifflin.”
Class 3. The associate professor’s name is Michael Scott.

You cannot make this stuff up. It’s just too weird.
