Ms. Smarty Pants Know It All

Here are my favorite reads for the week:

• I can get math concepts. Just tell me a story like this one: Dividing by Zero Blows up the Universe!
• When I read the directions on this math contest, I wasn’t sure what I would have done. The kids are impressive. I think I would have put “x+1,” which I’m not sure qualifies as a valid entry.
• I am so thankful that Jacob has the Doctor Who assignment over at TWoP. If I did’t get to read stuff like his Cold Blood recap, I would be missing out on so much.

Here are my favorite reads for the week:

• There are those who think I read a lot while I actually think I don’t read enough. Either way, don’t tell me you wish you had more time to read.
• My latest TV on DVD is Damages. I was hooked right from the Pilot. Now that I’m first five episodes in, I’m totally invested. It is ambitious, complicated, and it also completely messes with my head.

Here is my favorite read for the week:
