Someday, I will make it to the UK.
I'm hoping my parents go this year while mother's cousins are still spry enough to bustle them about, though with a new grandchild on the way, they'll probably put it off.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

re: Jack London.
I love To Build A Fire. We read that in 7th grade English and I loved it. Mom had an old textobook at home with the story in it and I would sit there and read it over and over. That and A Rose for Emily.
REcently I went and bought a collection of Jack London's short stories but it was hard to read them because he was very much a product of his times and it's hard to get past some of his descriptions.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hardian Wall
OK, I love this. I think you're talking about Hadrian's Wall, yes? But honestly, I like Hardian a whole lot better.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hee. Now I see the border between Scotland and England being patrolled by morose characters from Jude the Obscure.

That's a great story. It's like, "Yay, I got a--FUCK. Okay. Stupid matches. All right! I got a f--FUCK! Fucking snow. Let's try this again. Awesome. Check out my fi--MOTHERFUCK. That's it, I'm killing my dog."

Deb - yes, Hadrian's Wall! And I know how it's spelled, but I was trying to be stealth and not get caught posting when I should be typing up notes.

Hmm. I may include that synopsis for my students. I think they'l appreciate it.
O' course, my mentor teacher probably wouldn't. But my university supervisor takes all her phone calls in her hot tub, with a glass of Scotch to hand, so she'd probably be ok with it.

Ali, I honestly like Hardian better. It's like Eddie Izzard, saying that there really should have a Roman Emperor Fabulous.

Let me know how it goes over, Erin.

Hey! That's actually an idea -- maybe I can take some of the funnier episode recaps of shows my students watch as examples, and for some chapters, my students can try to some up with their own snarky recaps, In groups, maybe, or individual assignments
