Love 'em, and love this song (either in the studio cut or the live cut).

Re: "setting little dreamers straight" - well, I do try to make a difference. If I can crush the dreams of just one child, then I'll know that it was all worthwhile.

I was teaching a Foods and Nutrition class today - the first lab for an eighth grade class and they were baking muffins. I take my marking seriously - might as well, after all - and a student noted that I was eating like I was a food critic, and remarked that such would be an excellent job. Maybe… but after I…

One Winter Break from university - about a decade ago - I spent most of the day playing "GoldenEye" except for watching "The Phantom Menace" on VHS, desperately hoping to find some redeeming darkness or premonition in the film.

Actually, I found the questions about his background pretty interesting. Yes, I'm from Canada… and a high school teacher… but this was still a pretty honest and compelling interview. The anecdote about Bob Woods is stellar.

Another Supes tale that really grabbed me (though I've not read "All-Star" yet) was "A Man for All Seasons" by Loeb and… shoot, I've blanked on the artist. The Norman Rockwell vibe works well, and the shifting perspective was nicely used.

Still reading, though not always able to dive into the comments as I'd like (directing the school musical - when you've never directed before - will do that to you).

Probably that I really don't care if I have IFC through my media provider, I'm assuming.

No, our PM now should be known as "Creepy Uncle Stephen" after all those sweater-vest election ads.

Ditto on Elitist Trash. Hell, this could be an ongoing blog (anything to help us through the gaps in "Films that Time Forgot" and "CTOTD").

Hell yes on the Baroque Cycle! That would be a lot of fun, even the multi-part episodes dealing with intense theological-philosophical wrangling.

Nicely argued, lexicondevil, and there's a lot to it - especially the thematic reading sets. How do you finesse the texts? Do you have a decently apportioned library at your school, a stellar bookroom, or do your students have to buy their texts?

Hey now - I come here for quips about the cutscenes and dialogue. Not all of us click past that stuff.

It's a B+, for sure, but it's not into that excellence territory.

I remember shouting at an essay in a PJ O'Rourke collection ("Give War a Chance," I believe) where he calls for a new enemies list (a la Nixon) for the 90s. He disses GB Trudeau as a poor man's Walt Kelly, and then Berke Breathed as a poor man's GB Trudeau.

Y'know, I always hope that I'll see LH Puttgrass on the "What Do You Think?" feature on the Onion.

Heaven forbid an interviewee respond to the questions in any substantive fashion.

Dealing with this isn't as awkward as enduring the Canadian block on "Daily Show" clips on Comedy Central. I know they're on our Comedy Network or something, but it's not the same…

Hey, I've got nothing. If that's the case, I'm starting a new identity.

Hold on - that "likea da Juice" sketch was about OJ?
