2 Oh.
3 At least so far.
4 Fingers crossed.
5 Yeesh.
6 Don't ever teach.
7 You never know what it is you're walking into one day to the next.
8 My students cooperated pretty well with Shrew.
9 I set it up with subtitles AND I have a small mic set up for me to act as the spokesperson for Franco Zeffirelli.
10
11 Hey, he can't speak for himself.
12 Nah, I just added commentary that was clearly good knowledge.
13 I told them about how Zeffirelli matches costumes to sets in texture, color, mass, hue, line, light and shadow. All artistic stuff that is in the books. I'm such a pedantic old coot.
14 I have studied Zeff for years. We are boyz. He lets me refer to him as "Zeff".
15 Anybody lookin'?
16 After years of watching this stuff, I also point out the Zefferoonster's style: his use of dogs, his use of farmer's market vegetables, his use of tableaus, his use of music, and his use of boys with Beatles' hairdos.
18 You can teach only so much artistic stuff before students pull out their cell phones. They consider it no more rude than scratching an itch. So it goes. I'd mention pearls before swine, but that would be rude. So I won't.
19 Sidebar: I'm watching the Giants/Rocks game as this is being constructed and they panned to some geezer using opera glasses at a baseball game.
20 What's great is the guy looked like Willie Nelson.
21 Willie Nelson with opera glasses, at a baseball game. That's about as American as apple pie.
22 Pass the pipe.
23 Anybody lookin'?
24
25 Baseball. Hours and hours of muffled thinking.
26 Beats workin'.
27 I say that about a lot of things.
28 Beats workin'.
29 Prolly explains my on-the-verge-of-going viral status.
30 Prolly. That's SO wussy. It's prob-ab-ly.
31 O-KAY, o-KAY. Get off me.
32 I'm still low-budge after all these years.
33 Meh.
34 Moving On, Part One: I got home ready to knock down about three thousand papers last night.
35 Digital tallying switch: ON.
36 Amount of papers graded this morning: zero;
37 Amount of time spent messing with new computer apps: priceless.
38 Do I have to trade in my man-card if I say I got myself a Nook from Barnes and Noblezzz?
39 Pardon me.
40 Barnes and Noble.
41 I stand corrected.
42 Ah, I live for this stuff.
43 I had ALL the best intentions.
44 I know this will all bite me on the butt before Friday.
45 Do I care?
46
48 I just saw an ad for Belize.
49 I look at it this way. If I'm not going to go somewhere, I would rather not go to Aruba.
50 Anybody lookin'?
51 Ah, who cares anyway?
52 I decided last night that any sentence beginning with the word "Ahhh" means you're a good ol' boy. "Ahhh, screw those people!"
53 "Ahhh, who cares? NOBODY cares. Relax dudes!"
54 Ahhh, whatever.
55 I clicked off the ball game for some show about life on the Bayou last night.
56 Uh...no thanks. Lovely as it all looks.
57 I'm a Cali guy. Always and forever.
58 We could all go in an instant.
59 I prefer not by croc or gator. It's just me. Hope nobody's offended.
60 Ahhh, screw 'em.
61 Gottago.
62 Good times, as always.
63 We'll see you again.
64 Peace.
~H~
