Hell yes. I think.
My "vacation" is nearly over. I go back to school next week. Next week!
So I am teaching English 101 over the summer. However, I did get my teaching assignment for the fall, and I was very happy to discover that I will be teaching Intro to Creative Writing. Very happy!
So that's it. Ended the semester with a 4.0 (the...

Well.
The readings went very well, and thanks to everyone who asked. I am glad that they are over, though I am planning on reading sometime in the fall again (if I can write some new work).
The good news is that I am going to be teaching in the summer. Freshman Comp, if anyone is interested in brushing up on their thesis statement skills....

Tomorrow I am participating in a reading downtown. I am not sure how I feel about it just yet. I picked out some of the poems I am going to read, but haven't decided on anything just yet.
The big reading is on Saturday. For that (if you have been reading my journal, you already know this), I collaborated with an abstract animation filmmaker,...

How natural do you think it is to look at pornography?
-Well, I suppose it depends on what type of "pornography" we're talking about. Tastefull pornography I'd say is pretty natural to want to look at. After all, sexual drive seems to be second to hunger in many people, and people eat 3-5 times a day, so why lot look at porn every once in a while?
The "icky pornography" as I like to call it (I won't get graphic, but it's the images I think should stay in medical books) I don't think is natural...but then, I suppose if that's what turns someone on, then it's natural for them.
Why do you think the individual attraction to pornography is greater than the group consensus that "pornography is bad"?
Because people like keeping secrets. I think for some people it's funner to say they don't look at pornography, then sneak onto their computer or pull out their magazine when no one is looking.

shayne:
i'm definitely interested in keeping up to date on your MA research. I'll post more later but wanted to add you so that I can come back to check out your questions for consideration.
afterbirth:
I don't find a single emoticon an acceptable journal entry. However, due to your beauty and excellent taste in music (and friends), and oh my goodness - you like Sally Mann too! - I have decided to go ahead and bookmark you as interesting!
Don't get too excited.

Argh. So much work to do. And so little motivation.
My night class tonight SUCKED (I should have gone with you guys to eat burgers and play some pool). It certainly did not do any any good to be there. We didn't get our papers back, AND I stopped paying attention at around 7:30 or so.

We watched the Aristocrats earlier this afternoon. Tonight the film is The Piano Teacher. Very exciting.
Nothing else to tell, really. Didn't do much homework this weekend. (Slacker, slacker.)I did write 3 responses for one of my classes, so that's something, right?
I think it has a lot to do with my purchases earlier this week.
But I...

I think that you are mapping the personalities of the class onto the pictures that you are drawing.
