bearshortyHappy Birthday, Papa!
I was dreaming that I was grading when my alarm clock woke me up since I had to grade more before my class. I was vaguely disappointed that I had another paper to grade.
Today was an easy class since it was really collect papers and give papers back and evaluations day. I did do a mini geography lesson since my students are reading an essay by Naipaul and he mentions lots of countries. I had a few students who didn’t know where England was; not even what continent it was on. Sigh.
In the afternoon, Mama and I stopped by the russian food store to get bread and a poppy seed cake-type thing for my dad for his birthday. I do love that store. I got myself smoked cheese. I adore smoked cheese.
Papa’s coworkers bought him cake and we had that after a semi-festive dinner. Mama made olivie salad – which is traditional for any festive table and is my favorite thing ever. It was nice.
House S7E8 I liked team interactions. And everyone in their formalwear. I don’t care about Sam. And Cuddy, really – why is this lying storyline still going on. Who do you think House is? The episode was fine, I guess. It didn’t stand out too much.
I tried watching “Hidalgo” and was not really in the mood for it; it was too much a boy angst movie. I’m just sending my Netflix movies back unwatched. They’ve been sitting on my shelf to long. I did watch the latest “Fame” movie online instead. It was fine. The original was much better.
Shakespeare’s Tempest Act 3. Three scenes – there sets of characters. First it is Ferdinand and Miranda – they flirt, they declare their love (despite having just met, and I always roll my eyes at that) and basically get married. Ferdinand just suffered a traumatic event and he thinks his father just died and for Miranda, he is the third man she ever saw. Very stable foundation for a relationship there. Scene two is Caliban with Stephano and Trinculo, all pretty drunk, plotting to kill Prospero for Caliban. I did not remember at all that “Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,” speech belongs to Caliban. Scene 3. Alfonso and company. Basically, Prospero sends Ariel to freak them out.
