Also: I burned dinner.
As you probably know, I misplace things all the time. Still: it is really, really odd that I can't find my coat.
RT @chrislhayes: A Bush v Clinton race in 2016 would definitely say to the world "This is a thriving democracy!"
This is ridiculous. I'm going to start applying for jobs tonight. I expect it'll be a few months before it bears fruit, but I need options.
Booked tickets for Wakka Wakka's SAGA for Sunday night.
Booked tickets for Target Margin's THE (*) INN [usually translated as The Haunted Inn] for Friday night.
WAY too much material to squeeze into today's 2 hours and 40 minutes. I wish I could teach a whole semester on this topic.
David Mamet's claim that socialism and liberalism are inherently anti-Semitic seems to rely on some significant historical blind spots...
Teaching Day (Power Plays: Politics, Theatre, and Social Change): Race, Ethnicity, and the Politics of Visibility
Oh, the joys of teaching at a public university. My first day of class: January 28. My first pay day: March 21.
We need to figure out how to take a train from Nice to Cinque Terre (probably via Genoa). Anyone done this before?
It looks like we'll need a cat-, fish-, and plant-sitter from roughly May 23 till May 29. (We'll be in Provence and Cinque Terre...)
It's been a while since I taught freshmen. I had to say today that my not acting like a a HS teacher means they can't act like HS students.
Teaching Day (Intro to Theatre): Designing for the Theatre, part 1. Also, preparing for upcoming group presentations.
I made some (not particularly good) peanut butter fudge. Had the few pieces I wanted. Now I don't know what to do with the rest.
I feel like my greatest skill is translating from English to English. Not sure how to phrase that in a way that makes sense on a CV, though.
Teaching day (Power Plays: Politics, Theatre, and Social Change): Freire, Boal, and Applied Theatre.
I've had a cold or sinus infection or something for the past few days. Getting by with Dayquil, Nyquil, soup, and ginger.
Teaching Day (Intro to Theatre): Stage Types and Theatre Architecture
Some of you seem to be emotionally wrapped up in the Oscars, as if the idea of a "best" work of art were somehow meaningful or valid. Weird.
I'm at Caffe e Vino (Brooklyn, NY) https://foursquare.com/toofran...
I'm at BAM Harvey Theater for The Laramie Project Cycle (Brooklyn, NY) https://foursquare.com/toofran...
(Also: thanks to my former Purchase students, who seem to be trying to outdo each other with their touching/funny/eccentric birthday wishes)
INSOMNIA. POSSIBLY IMPENDING HEAD COLD. But a long day ahead, so I need to get some sleep.
I'm at BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (Brooklyn, NY) w/ 4 others https://foursquare.com/toofran...
Tonight: work, relax, maybe watch a DVD. Tomorrow: teach 9 to 5:30, then an evening of sexed-up opera. Sunday: Theatre, dinner, more theatre
Our default BAM dinner place is Caffe e Vino, but we're open to suggestions if there's someplace you think we should try on Sunday.
