Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.
You know, I can't remember if we studied any Shakespeare in high school. We may have, but I barely remember anything we read. Well, other than American Lit, which we seemed to have an awful lot of. I remember House of Seven Gables, Ethan Frome, the Crucible, The Scarlet Letter, some westerns (we had a choice between Big Man, Little Man and something else which I don't remember any more.) Actually, I think we did something in my freshman year, it might have been Merchant of Venice when I think back.
he he ... I remember in my intellectually challenged high school we were reading Julius Caesar and, rather than have to listen to the barely-literate try to stumble through the reading, the teacher put on a recording of actors reading it (with added emotion!). That's when I discovered that we were using the Bowlderized version ... 'cause Brutus's wife tells him to come to bed.
...and CNN now has it in breaking news as a 5.8 centered just east of Los Angeles.
I am brilliant. I scheduled a meeting with my coworker just prior to my weekly meeting from hell.

I don't think we'll give a shit what is said in WMfH.
I am back. Pretty much.
The Semester That Ate My Brain is over

We interrupt this post for a brief earthquake. So Cal is so cool.
Slacker!Co-Worker is back from extended sick time/disability/back problems, etc.
And I miss you guys, so now that my biggest timesucks are over, I declare myself returned (tentatively).
So, how's everyone? Places chin in hands, ready to listen attentively.

Your perks are not like my human perks.

Nope. Not at all like.
Vortex - speaking as someone who is a hardcore procrastinator, hit 'em where they live. Otherwise they'll end up like me.
Okay, I'm officially an Angelino. That was a scary quake, though thankfully it was short.
My school system was a little different. 8th grade got Midsummer Night's Dream (which I didn't read, because we moved into that district after I finished 8th grade), freshman got Merchant of Venice, sophomores got Julius Caesar.
For junior and senior years, we had to take four one-semester courses, with at least one each in literature, writing, and speaking. My sophomore English teacher warned us away from English Lit, so I took World Lit. So, no Shakespeare for me then.
