"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My current project is for Doubt which I am totally stoked to teach and my project in the wings is for Lauren Hillenbrand's book Unbroken.

Kat let me know if it would be helpful to have some contact with Laura for Unbroken. I could see if I could facilitate that. I know she's working right now on a YA edition of the book.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

t, right? Every year I get my mum saying "did you see such and such?" and I'm all "I have to wait until I get out of work to catch it on the DVR/iTunes" because it was on too late for me".

Especially when the shows aren't brainless, and I actually have to be awake and aware to grasp what's going on.

Thanks, Hec. I'll let you know. I actually have a colleague who wants to teach it and I'm working on wrangling books for him to use immediately and for me to use after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have thrown financial caution to the wind.
