and an elective -- Appreciation of Literature.
Well that's kind of narrow.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Nilly, I would be a terrible Jew. I have tattoos, and I like bacon too much.
Hey! That's the kind of terrible Jew I am!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hee. Yeah, I know. We're going to read Oedipus Rex, The Haunting of Hill House by Shirely Jackson, The House of the Spirits -- Isabel Allende, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bastard OUt of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, and The Great Gatsby.
I love all of these books, so I'm looking forward to this class.

Bad Jew, Allyson! BAD JEW!
Mmm. Bacon.

Appreciation of Literature
Um, sorry for the dumb question, but - what does that mean? I mean, I saw the list of the books, but what makes this class something with that name, and not just a general lit class?
Allyson, with all the charity you've coordinated, you can't really be that bad a Jew, tattoos and bacon and all. At least, to my opinion.

It means nothing, Nilly. I was given a list of classes I could teach as electives, and I picked this one BECAUSE it meant nothing, and therefore, I could make it into whatever I wanted.
And I want to teach these books, and write about them, and do projects based on them. And with TWO new classes this year, I really need to teach books I've read over and over again, so I will be able to actually SLEEP now and again during the school year!

Brad Bird's movies, The Iron Giant and The Incredibles have good mother-child dynamics.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey! That's the kind of terrible Jew I am!
Yeah, but you're born to it. You get the bonus points.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Chocolate cupcake #1 eaten. Kettlebell cancelled. Still watching Nemo. I'm liking it, but I don't think I'm feeling love. Does this mean offers will be rescinded?
Also, I have dibs on everyone. For the record.

I think if it's Nemo you're liking but not loving rather than the cupcake, all offers are likely still on the table. Mmmm, cupcakes.
