"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I am taking a class that turns out to be a shitload of work. I don't like that so much. I'm trying to figure out how much of the reading I really have to do now.
Welcome to my world. My Dante prof said, "You should do your research on a comparison between Dante and James Joyce."
I said, "But then I'd have to read Ulysses again and that simply is NOT going to happen."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Aw now, I like Joyce. Actually, I didn't until I read Eco's essay on Joyce, now I have huge love.
Yes, my name is Heather, and I'm a big fat Eco fan.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My Dante prof said, "You should do your research on a comparison between Dante and James Joyce."
Would the prof accept a paper written in stream of consciousness?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
See, I was doing the reading I thought I had due, and that was fine...until I realized that what I was looking at was reading for last week. Which was the first class. So after this week it should be OK, but for now? @@ Of course this was the teacher who said we have a "short 20 page paper" to do.

Prison Break: I'd actually managed to completely blot out any memory of " Eres Tu ".
Thanks. So. Much.
I just saw my first ever ad for Kitchen Confidential. During "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" -- coincidence?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ok, it's a pretty stupid thing to say. But the power's out, you don't know what's going on, they're presumably evacuating the building, and Al Qaeda was on the tv this morning making noise about LA...I can see where your mind goes there.
And Melbourne. I mean, huh? We need some bloke stateside to threaten our cities? What's wrong with the home-grown loons?

Probably no.
Heather, I like A Portrait of an Artist well enough.
But I'm already reading all 3 books of the Divine Comedy as well as Vita Nouva and Monarchia (and I sort of skimmed the Aeneid to boot). I don't need to add Ulysses to the list just because.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If you haven't seen it, the cover of Newsweek says:
"Poverty, Race & Katrina - Lessons of a National Shame"
with a banner of:
"Why Bush Failed"

I tried that once. It didn't go over well.
