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?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So have we noted that it's Willow v. Xander this season?
How I Met Your Mother is on at the same time as Kitchen Confidential.
They're both getting decent reviews.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

One of the very few papers I managed to actually finish and turn in on time during my year of slow-motion emotional meltdown (88-89, junior year) was an 8-page stream-of-consciousness free verse response to Eliot's "The Hollow Men," in which I pastiched everyone from Shakespeare to Dickinson to Stephen King. Fortunately, the professor graded his papers in alphabetical order by the students' last names, so by the time he got to me he'd already slogged through 160 pages of solemn bloviation by everyone else, and I ended up getting an A+++ (apparently, in England in 1989, they were allowed to give out grades like that) and a note of earnest gratitude from him. But, really, I so should have gotten my own head back on a platter. I mean, really. Emily Dickinson and Stephen King? @@
