I just remember him as Larry Fishburne from She's Gotta Have It.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

[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.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I think all other drama is undertaught.
amych is my hero!
I love that I get to expose my students to so many different kinds of theatre. The school just keeps trying to force me into a box that I'm not comfortable with.
Here we are getting into a discussion that is perfect for me and I have to go do some things with DH. Sigh...such is my life.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
What blew my mind was seeing Fishburne in Apocalypse Now and realizing it was him.

"Elements of Persuasion" would make a good Regency romance title. Someone should use it.
I'd read that.
And, I will add, my students get the chance to read Moliere (I teach him to my Intro to Drama babies) as well as Lorca, Churchill, Ibsen, and more. Last year some of my students wanted to give Torvald a "smack down" when we read the final scene of "Dolls House".
Now I have to run. Stupid errands.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
In an ideal world, high school would teach the foundations of Western thought that inform so much literature. There were many years when the only books a family would have would be Shakespeare and the King James Bible, and they were reliable touchstones for writers who could feel confident people would understand their allusions. It would be a great basis for later study if students started with a good grounding in the Bible as literature, Shakespeare, mythology, the Odyssey, the Iliad and the staples of a classical education. Certainly students should get more exposure to other playwrights, but Shakespeare is bedrock in terms of understanding literature.

The Family Sox just left my house! Yay for travelling Buffistas, and the most articulate and best behaved three year old I've seen in a long time. Plus, lemon tart.
