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.

Art Crawl!!!

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?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Would the prof accept a paper written in stream of consciousness?

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"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Would the prof accept a paper written in stream of consciousness?

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I wrote a stream of consciousness paper for a high school English teacher. He got all worked up and went on at great length about Joyce, but really I was just pulling his chain and being lazy about my writing assignment.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Would the prof accept a paper written in stream of consciousness?

If you're writing a paper on Hunter S. Thompson, the answer is yes, the professor will.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

24 hours from now, I will be on vacation, and madly packing.

48 hours from now, I will be in Vegas, and madly drinking, gambling, and people watching. Or maybe madly asleep. Definitely in Vegas though.
