Old Comedy
by mccannmp1.
Sometimes I enjoy my classical comedy class almost too much. We sit in a threesome in the third row and make snotty comments about footnotes and phallis...phalli? Today was quite wonderful. There is something about Classics profs, or perhaps their environment, that makes them almost completely unable to operate most devices more modern than a projector. Heaven help them if they need to show video clips from a computer on a projector though...
Some quotes and random ideas from today:
Marshall:: Your homework is to watch the Daily show!
Me: I don't have cable!
Marshall: Find a friend who does!
Aristophanes Wants YOU!
-Jess
Technical difficulties and how they relate to the Classics faculty..........an essay topic?
In response to technical difficulties:
I'm going to go and get someone who doesn't teach the Bronze Age for a living.......talk amongst yourselves.
-Marshall
Watch CBC tuesdays at 8pm......even in the backwoods of Canada you can get CBC

Tomorrow is Studies in Motion at UBC, then four days to decide on the audition thing. I'm going to be recording a short clip for an ad my sister is animating, some sort of contest....music for opening flowers.....heh. I might actually see what she thinks of Le tombeau de couperin, I think it's out of copyright now. It's odd, I barely have time to think right now, and yet - it feels like the semester has only just begun? I'm taking one less course than before, you would think it would be less work? Or something? I like this semester though, everything I'm reading I'm interested in, even the evil first year class' readings are interesting.
