i am no pirate

Of course, this week could not just come and go.  The final text of the year that my seniors studied was Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen.  The book's great and tied in well with the yearly themes that circled around literature's most famous monsters, misfits, and villains. 

Though the movie version was released in early March the DVD is still not out yet.  But that doesn't stop the mad hunt for a good quality Watchmen dvd.  I didn't even really want to watch the movie in class and is happy ending the year on an academic note, but things are done differently at my new school.  So a cushy last few days are in order for the students, but I have to work my ass off trying to get a copy of this stupid DVD. 

*sigh*  Where do my days go?  I got home at 4, walked the dog, made dinner, and it's already past 10.  How did this happen?  I'm currently watching the Ethan Hawke version of Hamlet.  Tomorrow and Friday I will be showing two different versions of Hamlet to continue the discussion on literary criticism and literary interpretation.  I am tired.  With June just around the corner my body and mind are struggling not to take an early break.  

What will I do over the summer?  What should I do over the summer?  I can't lush about all day, but I also don't want to work myself to death.  What to do?  Hopefully as the time nears I'll have some fun and unique opportunity present itself.  Any suggestions?  Until then, back to Hamlet.
