Man, who do people think they are fooling sometimes? That is just ridiculous. J - unfortunately nowhere too special. Mostly in my region, actually. C - OH NO THEY DIDN’T!

Will they be held any place interesting? My annual pilgrimage to That Conference on That Greek Island appears to have been cancelled this year, much to my dismay. Now I have to search out other beautiful, warm places to peddle my thoughts on the Non-Local Gravitational Dynamics of Steaming Crap Piles. You should have this sign over your office door: <i>Your Educational Salvation lies with Me and the keys to the kingdom of MyClass are available only to those who pay ample Tribute to the Lord, thy Teacher!"

In his "Terror" class that I've told you about, he teaches "Sanctuary" and "American Pastoral." Temple Drake is the female protagonist of the first and Mary Levov is the female protagonist (I'm using protagonist loosely, don't crucify me) of the latter. In a paper he graded today, the student wrote about how Temple and Mary were in the same book and how they interacted (obviously, the student did not read EITHER novel). He actually asked me if a "D" were a cruel grade to give the paper. Apparently, he's a more lenient grader than I am. If it makes you feel any better, here’s what Philly dealt with today.
