Mutant Pigs!

Intertextuality is possibly the first time I've had a class and have not spent at least 15 minutes (all together) glancing at the clock. Today I didn't even think about the time until it was practically over. Love it.

We've moved on to John Donne. I love Donne.

( The Apparition. )

Heh. So funny.

Also really like the Lucille Clifton poetry we've read.

( the story thus far )

We looked at her Lucifer/Creation story related poems and they're all very provocative. I really like these re-workings of the Creation story. I may even have to (re-)read Paradise Lost.

I also like Clifton's Superman poems. I was going to say "particularly this one" in regards to the one behind the cut, but now that I look at all of them, that's not entirely true.

( note, passed to superman )

I think I'm going to use her series of poems about Lazarus from my pretext analysis paper.

Spent yesterday re-watching my SGA tapes. Stopped partway through "Letters From Pegasus." I love that episode, like, a lot. Think I finally figured out the movement of the Ancients that had me confused for a bit. (Earth --> get sick --> Pegasus --> get Wraith --> back to Earth.) At least I think I get it now.

Gotta go to Theology. Wonder if we'll talk about the new Pope...?

DVDs! Yea!

Moonlighting is coming out on DVD at the end of May! I'm excited. When I was in high school (I think it was hs), Bravo played reruns around the time I got home from school and then on weekends. I watched the entire show that way. Young Bruce Willis! I'd forgotten how much I actually like him until I saw Sin City.

Speaking of, I have to say that I think my favorite part of the graphic novel thus far is That Yellow Bastard, although it may actually be tied with The Hard Goodbye, and that so far Hartigan has been my favorite "one-shot" character. Same goes for the movie, at least character wise. I don't know, but for me it just felt like that part, the TYB part, had the most emotion in it. Even though Marv stole the show. And that part where Marv's in the chair and the camera zooms into his eye and there's the image of the bed and, yeah, that was emotional. I guess I just like the overall Hartigan-Nancy plot best.

It's all good, though. :)
