    Shakespeare!

    You know, I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but here it is anyway: one of my major requirement courses this semester was a 400-level course on Shakespeare. For our final project, we each had to take a scene from any play (or we could even do a sonnet) and describe how we would stage...

    The RHLC!

    Same here; if I were to rent MWoO, it'd be for Scooter's appearance. 'Cause honestly, let's face it, I didn't feel a screaming urge to grab it off the shelf when I spotted it in the store. I remember thinking, "It won't be the same." I've kind of been off the computer today - all the work...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (in room 7, it is just the human and two Muppets, as the Fraggles are off visiting friends at the moment) Erin: (stretched out on sofa with a mug of Earl Grey) Well, it's not completely over for me yet...but the worst is past. Scooter: (curled up in armchair with cocoa) I know - getting my...

    The RHLC!

    I know - the English honor society that I'm a member of has a "10 signs you're an English major" T-shirt. One of the ten reasons is "You are intimidated by the letters MLA." Same here; I'm not really a Puritan either, but I'm none too fond of in-your-face lewd jokes. (My mom routinely jokes...

    Sade - "Smooth Operator"

    The RHLC!

    (chuckle) At the moment, the things that scare me the most are the letters MLA. Say those to any English major and you'll cause him/her to break out in a cold sweat. On the other hand, I just finished up a particularly nasty term paper, so my head's aching a little less and my blood pressure's...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (night before) Storyteller: (standing on edge of Erin's desk) Beige. Go get a mug of hot cocoa and two cookies. (Beige does so) Beige: Okay, got them...now what? Storyteller: Give them to me. You pull her head up off the book and force her mouth open, and I'll pour the cocoa in. Erin: (still...

    Cookie Monster cookie recipe

    Hey, no problem. The thing is, if it's a sugar cookie recipe, which is pretty basic, it shouldn't be that hard to come up with.

    The RHLC!

    I know - I mean, the visuals are impressive, and the Chamberlain Skeksis calls to mind memories of Scred...but, yeah, compared to the Big Three shows and the Muppet movies, it's kinda slow going. I once played the Dark Crystal computer game that Sierra made in 1982 for Apple IIe. Sierra...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Beige: (eyeing still-hot cookies longingly) Those look good. Storyteller: (making cocoa) They're not cool yet, Beige. The bits of candy cane in them are like lava. Beige: Ouch. (Storyteller pours several large mugs of cocoa) Storyteller: Time to flush out the crammers...it's time for their...

    Cookie Monster cookie recipe

    Hmmm...lamb, do you remember if the cookie recipe contained any distinctive ingredients? 'Cause if you can name a few, and if you're unable to come up with the original, perhaps we can help you come up with a recipe that at least comes close. Update: I just went puttering around on the net...

    The Golden Compass Thread (Spoilers ahead!)

    Same here on "Passion." And Mom says that when people asked her if she'd seen it, she replied, "I read the book." ;) Guys, let's face it - any organized authority, be it religious or secular, is full of good people who are willing to do noble things, as well as a few self-centered creeps who...

    The RHLC!

    Sounds like it was a lot of fun, heralde, thanks for sharing - and a song called "Your face?" Hmm...where else have we heard that one before? I'm ready to call a break - I've spent the better part of today slaving over end-of-term projects, and my right wrist started prickling a bit this...

    The Golden Compass Thread (Spoilers ahead!)

    Exactly. You're not going to hurt the kids by making them learn about a disease - but you'll hurt them by keeping them from learning. That's the way I've always seen it. And very true - you've got to be really diplomatic where people's spiritual/religious beliefs are concerned, 'cause it's a...

    The Golden Compass Thread (Spoilers ahead!)

    Exactly what I thought at the time. And my parents thought it ludicrous that the school even thought we needed permission slips. Of course, pretty much everyone in the class came in with "Yes" checked off on the slips, so it seems most parents were enlightened on the subject. I know -...

    The Golden Compass Thread (Spoilers ahead!)

    Same here; I've been a Catholic since birth, and I certainly believe that science and religion can co-exist. And also, in a homily we heard once, the priest explained that it is okay to have doubts sometimes, because it leads us to ask questions, which leads us to have a better grasp on...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Beige: The others asked us to stick this note on the door. Storyteller: Yes...poor Nora, she's had two breakdowns already. But I think Erin and Scooter are starting in on the homestretch. (Note attached to room 7's door) Please pardon our apparent absence from the chats, due to the high...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    I've got my radio tuned to the local classical music station as I study - I just heard a really beautiful rendition of "Carol of the Bells," on harp and recorder.

    Yeah, you'll like the bit of dialogue between two angels known as "King Henry" and "Rocky Top." It's always something, eh, Sara? Oh, well, there's worse stuff than that - hope the wrist heals soon. Now, on the subject of our favorite Muppet performer's Richard-ness...well, for Richard...

    Europe: "The Final Countdown." Love the synth on this one.
