Congrats on the new interview, Erin!
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
So much Job~ma for ya Erin.
I seem to recall R&J, Julius Ceasar, MacDeath (I'm typing in a theater, can't type it for real), and King Lear. But I might be getting schools mixed up. Go figure, I've done a fair amount of Shakes. That was one of the bummers of leaving old job. THis up coming season, they are doing Lear, which is my fav to read, and I've never seen it. Oh well.
In the mean time. Today is the bands first day of rehearsal. So a pretty awesome local band, Oso Closo, will be playing for us in Tommy. It's the first day, and they sound AWESOME! Can. Not. WAIT! (except for the shitload of work that needs to be done between now and then)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I cannot remember what Shakes we got in HS when, but I do remember Julius Caesar and... that's it, actually, but I know that's not right. Crucible was a pretty major part of one semester, I remember, but I don't remember any other American plays.

Tons of job~ma, Erin. I hope you get one of these jobs so that you can relax and enjoy the rest of the summer.
So, guess who didn't show during the appointment window?
Smite them.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
We should take you to see some local bands, omnis! I know Mr. J took you to Balcony to hear jazz, but we also need to show you Lee Harvey's, Doublewide, Sons of Herman and Dada.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Huh. I think this was the board's way of reminding me to say-
JOBMA~~~~~~ FOR ERIN

Thanks, guys!
Ooh, I love King Lear! Also, Antony and Cleopatra. I've not taught them because there are more allusions to Hamlet, and I don't know if the themes would be as accessible to high school students. OTOH, most of my students are highly irritated with ol' Ham by Act III and are seething with the desire to just see him shank himself, already. The end of the play usually provokes satisfaction, not dismay.
(I also love showing the Simpson's version of Hamlet. It's funny as hell, the students love "getting it" and it proves my point of the value of studying the classic because much of modern culture alludes to it. PLus, did I say funny??!)
