So I'm sitting in Shakespeare class watching the clock and being bored, as the prof asks "Is Macbeth's final fight caused by his valour or madness? Is it comitatus, the idea that you fight to the very last?"
Blah blah blah, I think.
". . . I think of Starbuck in Galactica," the prof continues, "saying you fight until you can't fight any more."
.... WHAT, I think, are ALL of my professor's GINORMOUS GEEKS.
(I should point out, as another example, that Doc recently sewed a BSG insignia to his motorcycle jacket.)
The prof also referenced Narnia when talking about the rules of a universe -- can people come back to life in the world of this work? Or do they just show up as ghosts with their throats slit? (Man, that would be such a bad twist on Narnia.)
I really want to reread Weird Sisters now.
SO, in other CMU news, Barack Obama is coming to Pittsburgh on Friday, so I'll be skipping classes to go see him. As
gao pointed out, chances are I will not be telling my grandkids about the classes I went to on Friday. So I have to get tickets (for me and
buongiornodaisy, EEEEE) today or tomorrow. Whoof.
ETA: Also, totally random question -- does anyone have a version of "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" they'd be willing to share? I heard it in a boutique in LA over spring break and just kind of . . . stopped to listen. It's a good song.
