well, sushi can smell off if the vinegar-wine is really strong, but avocado is useful for covering that up (and it's yummy!). personally, sushi=goodness. ^/__~

YES!!!! applying tv shows to class!!! i totally did that with wiseguy, the old cop show caitlin got me watching earlier this year. my 'english' class this year is themed 'love and friendship', and the first nine eps of wiseguy are all about an undercover cop who becomes close friends with the mob boss he eventually brings down. (reaD: angst) it's quite fun to relate things like doctor who to real life school.
