Yeah, she taught at Emerson while I was there- I had her for at least 2 semesters and was under her coaching during our mainstage production of The Birds.
She was AWESOME.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
He also told me to stop leaving "angry notes" on his door. I have, twice (I think), left a post-it on his office door saying something like, "Can you please let me know when you can meet with me this week?" It was generally when he hadn't responded to an email for over a week, and I figured that having something that he'd see immediately might work better than an email. (And it did -- he responded to both those notes right away.) I was definitely angry when I wrote them, but I was very careful to make sure the notes themselves were polite.
"O my Advisor and O the delight of my academic career, may you live forever! When will it be your pleasure to allow this abject, humble petitioner to bring her most unworthy queries regarding her lowly thesis to your exalted attention, so that she may bring it a tiny step closer to completion, generally bask in the glory of your wisdom, and properly add to your reputation as a most learned and puissant professor?" probably wouldn't go over quite as well as one might hope, either.

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

It would also be fun to send him an engraved invitation to a scientific demonstration of the latest methods of recto-cranial inversion therapy. But even if he did RSVP, you couldn't count on him to show up.

Ebert's "talking"!
He was on Oprah with the module mentioned in the Esquire article, the one from Scotland using his recorded voice from all his shows. I'm so glad that's working.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do people know that Ebert and Oprah dated briefly?
