Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

to demonstrate that picking out costumes is more than picking out clothes AND to demonstrate all the different things a costume can say about the person

Don't know of anything online or helpful on short notice, sorry, but what this brought to mind was two of Robert A. Heinlein's YA books, Double Star and Citizen of the Galaxy.

I remember bits from both about how small changes in appearance, attitude, and costume can effect big changes in perceived role and status.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The iPod "Mega Helmet" was made by duct-taping a loud Radio Shack megaphone to an old motorcycle helmet, allowing its wearer to broadcast their taste in music to everyone in earshot. It also includes a microphone in the chin strap.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hm. this might be helpful. Maybe if I have time, I can do a dress form with a black suit and change ties, shirts, etc to demostrate different people.

Also, I think what I am going to go with is having them choose a character from one of the two plays we did this semester. I really didn't want to, because I didn't want them to be influanced by the design already done, but I think it is going to be the easiest to do.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think the thing about e-coli is that it likes to live on the surface of meat. So if you're cooking a steak rare, it's fine, because the putside and all the nasties are getting sizzled. With a burger though, stuff that used to be on the outside gets all mixed into the middle, so if you dont cook it right through then the bacteria can still be thriving in the middle

That is my understanding as well.

I like that he's still adding stuff to the list as well as crossing stuff off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nilly, I'm able to force the food better now, since I'm only nauseous in waves.

Time to compose (yet another!) can't drive this morning e-mail to the manager. God, I'm a delicate flower.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Also, I think what I am going to go with is having them choose a character from one of the two plays we did this semester.

You could also choose something big and classic - like Midsummer's Night's Dream, because it's possible to do the show with everyone in the same base costume, and then to indicate class and role by draping, accessorising, etc. Romeo and Juliet works too, if it is boy-skewed.

They've also been rerunning blocks of Earl on Saturdays a couple of times. So you can have an Earlathon!

I've always liked Jason Lee and find that he's pretty cool even with the facial hair. But my Sekrit Boyfriend is Randy -- the Niles to Lee's Frasier. And next week? Beau Bridges guest-stars as their father, which I anticipate will be Comedy Gold (Pooh Case Intentional).
