now it's all i've got...
-- U2
- ah...to get some uninterrupted sleep... actually, i resorted to trying a sleeping pill last night, and while it took me a while to get to sleep, once i did, i can't say as i remember waking up...
- working on poetry with my english crew -- this is one of my favorite parts of the semester -- it's nice to see who the kids are who are in touch with what's going on in a different arena -- at the same time, it's pretty wild to see some kids struggle in this genre...
- i don't know what i would do with myself if my schedule wasn't jam packed -- i truly don't know what it must be like to get home at 3:15 and then just sit around -- i know that i have summers, but i tend to fill those days just as quickly -- i always have a sense of needing to get something done -- and quickly -- maybe this is why i'm having such difficulty sleeping -- sometimes there definitely aren't enough hours in the day -- and when that's complicated by a sinus infection, it's even crazier...
- rob dyrdek lives the life -- all he does is finds more stuff to get into -- if you haven't seen fantasy factory yet, you're missing a great example of a guy living high off the hog -- i'm sure that things are complicated for him, also -- but i sure wouldn't mind living that life once in a while...

Just thought of another book for your students...
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie yet, but I just read the Watchmen graphic novel. I'm a big fan of graphic novels, but this one was absolutely incredible. I've never seen so many layers of such cohesive symbolism throughout a book on the first reading. I know the school may not look favorably upon a "comic book," but it covers all the same themes as Brave New World or 1984 in a much more contemporary and immediate way. Plus, Time magazine ranked it as one of the 100 best novels written since 1923.
